Austin,

Freeze Pruf is presently in a holding pattern as the lawyers attempt to hash out liability issues. Once this is done it will move to production.

Chironex · 12-16-2008, 02:21 PM

That could be months! Let's hope that these matters can be resolved quickly. Thanks for the update.

Well, we'll try it next year. I think it's too late for those in the northern hemisphere

Wow..! Snow in Houston..! 'Course your extra humidity lends itself to gloppy snow? May be marginal between rain,...and snowfall..?? Our winter, so far (bad thing to type) has been milder than the last four years. All my friends in WA, OR, ID, Vancouver, B.C., are experiencing really LOUSY snow-chucked winters. Yup. Must be Al Gore's problemmos..

harveyc · 01-05-2009, 12:47 AM

Someone in south Florida recently tried "moisturin" prior to a cold blast and said it helped some of his exotics quite a bit and suggested that I try it on my bananas here in zone 9.

Has anybody here tried it? I haven't searched for it yet.

Chironex · 01-05-2009, 12:51 AM

It is an anittranspirant, but claims to use a resin that has no affect on phytotoxicity. Here is a link to it, but it does say that it is for woody plants.
Moisturin Antitranspirant - Moisturin Antidesiccant

enigma99a · 01-05-2009, 01:07 AM

I'm still gonna wait for Freeze Pruf

Looks like freezing/frost danger is pretty much over for the year anyway.

harveyc · 01-05-2009, 01:10 AM

Though I'm providing protection for my mango, lychee, and longan, maybe I should try the Moisturin for those plants. Too late to try on any of the bananas, though.

CiXeL · 01-30-2009, 09:09 PM

Heh, Harvey i was doing a google search for freeze-pruf to see if it had come out yet and came across this thread on bananas.org.
The moisturin works great on lychee. got new sprouts on everything. the real test will be in the next 3 months when we are at our driest and from the looks of the canals around lake okeechobee it looks like its going to be a very dry, dry season.
id definitely try it on bananas. just bought another bottle. i think they say its made out of a pine sap or something. i got some backspray in my eye and rinsed it out and it was just a minor irritant. pretty nontoxic. doesnt contain a trillion warnings like my fungicides.

harveyc · 01-30-2009, 09:24 PM

Hey, Chris, thanks for the reminder. I should buy some, though my lychee seems to be doing great where it's at. We've only got down to 28F this year but have had lots of nights with frost. But I have a shade cloth over it still so that keeps the frost off. On top of that, it's only about six feet away from my home's heating unit which runs fairly often on the coldest of nights. It's got some young tender growth and only some of those leaves show any damage at all. I think my lychee thinks it's in tropical China! :P

Nicolas Naranja · 01-31-2009, 11:22 PM

Man Florida could be covered in bananas if we had reliable way to protect from freezes. That man will be a millionaire, it would totally change how things are currently done.

CiXeL · 01-31-2009, 11:43 PM

youre in pahokee? we were on the opposite side of the lake at fisheating creek just a few weeks ago. can you take advantage of overheat irrigation from well water in the mid 70s to keep tropicals warm during cold fronts like we do down in south florida? i hear you guys can even lose royal palms up there during bad freezes like in 89 and 77.

We can, but nobody is set up for it. Just about everything is irrigated subsurface, I have seen fields flooded for freeze protection but that's rare. We tend to keep out tropicals right next to the lake where frosts and freezes are incredibly rare.

This product is never going to come out if its being eaten alive by lawyers.
If its some harmless food-grade chemical like they claim it is, let us know what it is, ill make it myself.
