We have days were the temperature drops down to 28F for a couple hours in the mornings, usually in December. Most fruit bunches develop just fine when wrapped in frost cloth or solar bags and have even better chances when the entire plant is covered. I have no personal experience with Orinoco, but my Namwah and dwarf Brazilian did great that way. A fruit bunch that has filled in and ripened during the warmer summer month might be slightly tastier though.
