Hello all.. just a little update on my convo with Dr Francko.

I just got home to his reply to my last email, in which I had asked two things: Does FreezePruf contain antidessicant and does it protect the roots as well (since the plants do absorb and distribute throughout their cell structure).

His response on the antidessicant question, directly quoting his email, "FreezePruf DOES contain an antidessicant in the formulation - in fact, the highest efficiency antidessicant out there on the market, so there is no need to apply that separately. The antidessicant is one of the reasons why FreezePruf resists washing off for several weeks, in addition to protecting the plant in its own right."

So, when calculating the costs of using FreezePruf, it'd only be fair to add in the savings from not having to use a separate antidessicant spray. The anti-d spray I've used costs $15 for a 32oz spray bottle that lasts 3 months. FreezePruf costs $12.00 for a 32oz spray bottle that lasts 6 weeks... so $24 for 3 months. So to me, FreezePruf only costing me an additional $9 for the added hardiness protection per bottle for 3 months. That's so worth it.
===============================================

His response to the roots question; he claims that while he hasn't experimented directly with root protection, he believes it gets distributed to the roots and that many gardeners are testing this with potted plants and will provide him feedback.

Finally, he tossed in an extra tip for palms: It's very important that when you spray the spears you make sure FreezePruf gets down into the crown onto the bud tissue so it's protected. <---- THIS I was avoiding 'cause I didn't want any of it getting into the crown. Who'd have thought?

I hope this helps many of you. I've linked him to this forum and a few others that are discussing FreezePruf so he can better see what users are experiencing and maybe get some feedback.
