christmas lights for freeze protection

19 years ago

I have grown peaches in Ohio for years and usually get at least some crop-but frost is an issue. I've grown apricot TREES but never once got an apricot-we'll usually get an 18 degree freeze when they're in full bloom.

Has anyone used Christmas lights to protect from frost-and-how do you do it? I am thinking I could just put the lights in the trees in fall and leave them there till May and turn them on whenever needed.

how many trees do you have and what's their size?
