Q.SPRAYING OYSTERSHELL WHEN TEMPERATURES GO BELOW FREEZING AT NIGHT
Our cotoneasters look as if they could burst into leaf very soon. However, at night the temperature is falling 3 or 4 degrees below freezing. Should I treat against oystershell now? Or would it be advisable to wait until there is no risk of frost at night? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you very much.

You can apply horticultural oil before bud break in spring to suppress any existing scale. The temperature shouldn't make a difference.
