Has anyone tried building small fires among fruit trees to try to save the fruit blossoms? We’re thinking of trying it tonight.

I'm very curious to hear how this works out if you do it. I'm not aware of anybody in this area who's done that.

The blossoms survived! We made 2 small bonfires in the orchard, and one night used a kerosene heater. Thankfully Monday morning was not as cold as predicted. I think I will invest in some actual "Smudge pots" which burn kerosene for the future. Now we just need the bees to come out and pollinate these beautiful blossoms.
