Could someone jog my memory of a substance that has been discussed on this
forum a couple
times - I think it was some form of seaweed extract? sprayed on blossoms it
was to
impart a few degrees of frost tolerance. We are having an exceptionally warm
April for
the Upper Midwest and it is quite possible now to have trees bloom - then see
hard
frosts. I'd like to look into this material if I could just get a name to go
on. thanks, Del
