Goumi and Autumn berries are covered in blooms. I thought I was finally go to get to find out what they taste like.  Can their blooms stand any cold?  The Weather Channel is not predicting frost yet.

Cherries will be in full bloom too. It’s right by the house. Would a box fan to get the air moving help?

Peaches and apricot are almost done blooming.  I think the tiny fruit can stand 31 for a few hours?

The apples may have some fruit set by then but will still be blooming.

Strawberries are blooming. I can cover most of them.

I believe both Autumn and Goumi can take the cold for a bit.  Cherries i'm not sure about.  My experience with peaches is they don't typically tolerate the frost well but i've had luck with apricots.  Apples in my experience depends on the type.  For the most part i think they'll be ok.

My gooseberries are setting blooms and we're expecting 28 and 31 a couple of times this coming week.  I'm worried about them.  Also worried about my mulberry and oak.  Last year we grew an oak and a mulberry from acorn/seed.  The mulberry is about 1.5ft tall and has leaves opening up and the oak's buds are opening and i expect leaves tomorrow or saturday....hoping this cold doesn't kill/stunt them now that they've opened up.
 
It's a pleasure to see superheros taking such an interest in science. And this tiny ad:
