    By Lauren Landers

    Key Points

    - Protect plants from frost damage by watering them deeply before the first frost hits.
    - Plants, trees, and shrubs may need supplemental water until the ground freezes over.
    - Season extension products, tree guards, fencing, and repellant sprays can also protect plants from winter pests and cold damage.

  3. @t54r4n1 we've got some experience, but also most our trees are either in pots or in the ground in our greenhouse, so even if we lose 100% of the outside trees it's not the end of the world. We will probably only protect a few of the ~30 trees planted in the ground outside. Here are some types of #FrostProtection we've used in the past, feel free to add to the list!

    • incandescent string lights
    • tree covers (or tarps for large trees, buckets for small ones)
    • heat lamps pointed at the roots
    • if dry, deep watering (soil is already saturated here now)

    Some tricks used for #citrus do *not* seem to work as well for #avocado, such as spraying with water to form an ice layer.
