Good news: that old apple tree in an abandoned orchard in a nearby forest is blooming. Bad news: we expect freezing temperatures over the next few nights. Hope it survives – those apples are delicious.
@szescstopni@qoto.org What those gardeners do is spraying misty water over them while it's freezing. Then a protective ice layer will be formed around those blooms, protecting them for the most part against the direct freezing cold.
@trinsec I know about complex towers on plantations – hi-tech, even though all you get is water mist :) In this case I'd have to walk a kilometre with a ladder, climb, spray – and I wouldn't be sure if I'm doing it right.
@szescstopni@qoto.org Spraying misty water isn't really a high-tech solution. :D But if it's a tree in the middle of nowhere, yeah, then that's just nature.
