Fruit orchards often mist starting from before the freeze until it's over. Doing this at home would be nearly impossible. We wouldn't suggest it. It was the hard freeze, not a frost that did the most damage. That along with the earlier heat that caused plants to push tender new growth is what caused the damage to be worse than usual. Hopefully this is the last that we'll see this type of early heat with late freezes for a long time.

Will spraying plants with water the morning after a heavy frost help prevent this damage? Thanks! My Japanese maple took the worst of it, and the redbuds.
