Naomi,
  The sprinkler idea intrigues me. I am a mimic, and have always watched nature. This season brings with it the wide variety of temperature changes, but using bodies of water of ANY size has a temperature modifier can help. I bought 6  ten X twelve pond kits w/ fountains. These were on clarence, but if you look at TEKsupply.com, they have pond liner remnants of various sizes, and with creativity, the same things can be made out of a variety of junk/scrap plumbing materials.
  I have looked at some of the remnant orchards, not yet buudozed, upstate N.y., and they are often on slopes, never intended for machine tending of any kind.
 I guess my point is that sometimes what is best for a flower is not what's easiest for man.matt,peace

Garfield Schultz once told me about using a sugar water spray for frost
protection.  I never got around to trying it but I just did a google and
found references to mixtures containing sugar used for frost protection.

Another thing that can work is to run a sprinkler over your tree.
