One of the chief hazards to fruit growing is spring frosts. At this season the blossom buds and the blossoms are the most tender parts of the tree. When fully dormant, blossom buds are reasonably hardy. As the weather becomes warm and the buds swell and develop, they rapidly and progressively lose in hardiness. At the time of bloom the blossoms will generally withstand a temperature of about 28 degrees without damage.
