  Chris,

  I'm experimenting with a spray on product that was suggested by Gordon
  Nofs.   The company that sells it is Abscission Organics, phone
  603-392-9330, e-mail Gianni-2 at prodigy.net.   They send a sizable free
  sample, and also give a discount to Nafex members.  It's probably too late
  to get any in time for the next cold snap, though.   

  I've never lost a tree to a late freeze.  They get damaged and suffer a
  setback,  but as soon as the warm weather returns, so does the greenery.

  >  It's been a cool, damp spring here, so much flowering, growth has  been
  delayed, but things have begun to push (apricot began flowering  last
  weekend)  Tonight temperatures are predicted in the low 30s and  Wednesday
  night I've seen predictions as low as 27 degrees.  If I  lose my fruit crop
  for the year so be it, but on a number of plants  the leaf buds have
  elongated and are starting to open.  I'm concerned  that the buds might be
  killed and I might lose the plants.  Is this a  legitimate concern?  

  I can set up a sprinkler in one place, but my plantings are somewhat 
  scattered.  If we do get to 27 degrees I'm not sure a sprinkler would 
  help. 

  Any suggestions?

  P.S. One thought I had (since many of my plantings are small) was  that I
  could drape the plants with buds the furthest out with wet  towels.
