Re: Frost Protection in South Florida!!!
I wrapped bananas with window screen and filled the screen with leaves--about 5-6 inch layer all around--banana leaves are unprotected and will be toast. My new bananas, IC, DO, DR and DC are inside in containers.
For my citrus, I have them covered and have added 5 gal buckets of water--packed the bottom of the trunks with bags of dirt, and have added Christmas tree lights to the most of the ones with fruit still on them.
The pineapples are inside and the avocado is covered and wrapped with blankets.
The weatherman says this is just the first blast--we are looking at teens by the weekend.
