Actually the only danger from anything but a real deep freeze in the low
twenties for these fruit trees is when the blossoms are fully open by not yet
fertilized. One group of pear tress had set the fruit before the coldest temps
and one group opened their blossoms just after. Luck, that.

I was researching apricot trees this morning. There is a fair range of blossom timing that those of us who are challenged with late frosts can choose cultivars that have a later starting time.
