Well, I know the tree is definitely fine to 30°F. Flowers, I'm not sure, but I would guess they are fine down to 32°. Whether they will set fruit when its so cool is another question that I don't know the answer to. Yes, you don't want to deprive them of light for too long, 2-3 days max I would think. |

Hi Mulls!
Is it a pain to take them out during the day and in at night? I wouldn't trust 36 degrees cuz it could easily switch to freezing as these weather casters can't possibly know the microclimates we all have.
The other option would be to cover them with frost cloth.....but I agree with TP - dont' keep them in the dark too long.....
