Subject: [NAFEX] heat tape

Has anyone ever tried hanging heat tape in branches of trees to prevent
freezing? This is the tape used to wrap pipes. I was thinking that it
might raise the temps in a small tree enough to spare some fruit (pluot is
in full bloom and we are expecting a freeze tonight).

Probably a wacky idea....
