I know how you feel, Deb.

Ours have gotten hit the last two years by hard late frosts too. It's looking good for us this year, I hope the warm weather will stick around another week or two!
Does this work for other stone fruits as well? I have three 2-year-old peach trees that put out flowers early and I was wondering about the potential for fruits.
Yes, it does! I use it to check my peaches too! The healthy peach blossoms will be even stiffer than the plums, and the damaged or unpollinated ones should break off pretty easily!
I hope you get a good peach and plum harvest this year!
