Dear Marianne

The photographs are wonderful but I am confused about the situation. I have seen such scenes in winter in Kashmir when there is a fresh snowfall and extreme chill in the night keeps snow sticking to branches. That part is expected, and icicles also may be seen when thawing starts and ice (melted snow subsequently frozen) starts dripping. But strangely the ground is completely without any snow, and most significant I have never seen cherries persisting on tree when the leaves have shed. I have seen rather ornamental Malus species in California persisting fruits when leaves are about to fall, but then California does not have have long snow filled winter season.  Perhaps you can throw some light on this spectacular sight.

To tell you the truth I thought you experts could throw some light for me because it was rather sad to see the trees and their cherries encased in ice. Could it have been a freak snow fall?

Dear Marianne
Were they really cherries?. Cherries won't stay on the tree till leaf fall, ornamental apple would. A freak snow with tree having cherries won't make leaves disappear. Interesting to investigate.

Dear all:
I think we are wowing a forwarded (many times over) set of
pictures...
seems it has been making rounds... original postor may have
absconded...

first, after the initial wow, I thought could this be a hoax?
ANS: do not know...

Second: Could these icicles be man made?
ANS... yes could be...
similar to the scenario in FLORIA and Georgia...
where citrus is grown... if in december the forecast is for below
freezing to freezing temperature in the nite... then farmers are
advised ( and they do it ) to sprinkle enough water on the trees so
that the water would freeze around (completely ) the oranges and that
frozen water at 0 degrees C would act as a thermal blanket of sorts...
and protect the fruits and trees from the merciless below freezing
temperatures...

something like that may have happened here...

BUT I /we must not get taken in by forwarded and re-forwarded
messages from now on...

my question to Marrianne: do you know the people who forwarded these
to you, are they hoaxters or reliable folks?

or do they know who sent these to them in the first place?

I have seen (also touched and experienced:) this kind of ice formation on Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) trees, here in oxford, mississippi, during last winter, when the trees were bearing ripe fruits.

What Usha di has written is also practised here in Germany, if they forecast sudden temperature fall after the trees start fruiting. Farmers sprinkle water till the fruits, in fact the buds, are covered totally with ice.
A fruiting tree with ripe fruits and no leaves look somewaht strange.
