Safeguarding Your Fruit and Flowering Trees

As Spring begins, trees that hold fruits and flowers become at risk as a unexpected twist of weather can challenge their resilience. Typically, the Canadian Spring is known to have the return of cold temperatures which can cause these types of trees to freeze. In response to this potential threat, Five Star Tree Services offers valuable suggestions and strategies to empower you in safeguarding your precious fruit-bearing and flowering trees.


Many fruit trees demand tailored protective measures and our team here at Five Star Tree Services is ready to help guide you. Consider the following methods for safeguarding different fruit-bearing trees:

  • Peach Trees. Cover them with a blanket or sheet during the day, allowing accumulated heat to shield against nightly freezes. Maintain the cover until the freeze subsides.
  • Citrus Trees. As delicate beings, drape small citrus trees with burlap or a frost blanket a day before the anticipated freeze, enveloping the entire tree to trap heat and thwart frost.
  • Apple Trees. Although hardier, apple trees benefit from coverage during sudden frosts to mitigate potential damage.


Adopting these strategies can preserve your trees, but caution should be exercised to avoid ground covers and mulch during cold spells. Moist, bare soil emits more heat than mulched soil. Pre-frost watering can also fortify trees, emitting warmth. A freeze forecast below 32 degrees warrants immediate tree coverage.
