We've had frosts three mornings south of Sacramento (Delta) this week, with yesterday being the hardest, reaching a low of 32F. Leaves look okay so far...I've got fruit hanging on one tall unknown plant again late this year so I am spraying it with water and used a smudge pot a couple of nights as I want the fruit to size up more.

Benny, you are waiting until zero?? I assume you mean Oc, I hope!

Tommy, even without reaching 32F we can have heavy frosts which will kill back the leaves. That doesn't kill the plant, but that will certainly stop my fruit from sizing up. I think we can get frosts with temps as high as 38F.
