Q.Cherry Trees
It has been raining today and tonight it will be 27 degrees. How can I protect my budding trees from freezing? They are only 5 ft. tall.

I would recommend covering the plants with a bed sheet. This should be enough to keep the frost from settling on the buds. If you can, a few jugs of hot water placed under the sheets as well will also keep the air a bit warmer under there.
