very handy, thank you, but now I feel like crying

[Nicos]

Me too

At least the trees have the ability to stagger their blossoms so hopefully some will survive.

So I've got some at full blossom on the gage and damson and some titchy beginnings of green fruit on the apricot. Converting this to Celsius, it suggests we need -2 for ten % kill. Luckily the worst it's been here is -1, so hoping might just escape too much damage....
