I have prepared the Balaton cherry as well as I can. The first few
flowers opened today. Twenty-five degrees predicted for the next two
mornings. The tree is fifteen feet tall, so getting the big tarp up
and over, especially in gusty wind, using an eighteen-foot cedar pole
and a twenty-foot PVC pipe, was challenging. I have it tied down all
around to keep it in place during potential winds. I hung a 75-watt
bulb up inside. Will report whether it works or not.
Sent a photo to Don. Perhaps he can make it available.
I am NOT available for similar work on other homesteads except as a
long-distance consultant.
