Never say Goodbye Driveler #242.......

[Jeff C.]

I so wanna do an ice tree like my Daddy did for us growing up, but J is worried it'll overwork the well........

Yes mam, used to do them all the time for my kids. It really doesn't take that much water if you can get a really good mist to apply.

You can actually do it to susceptible plants to keep them from freezing also. Roses, along with many fruit trees. The large fruit farms do it for late Winter/early Spring buds in order to keep the buds from freezing in dry frigid wind just like we are going to get overnight tonight. The thin layer of ice actually insulates them from the low chill factors and wind, which has a burning effect on the buds.

I'm ready for it as far as water spigots, I believe. It remains to be seen how low the chill factor will go.

Sorry, not a big fan of ice. Still got widow makers from the last ice storm.
Unless it's in my EW&DC.

Ummm, it's usually done on only lower height shrubbery and small trees. And, you don't cover it to the point of breaking limbs. It's a light coverage.
