At our old house, we had 1 peach tree and it bloomed about 3-4 times in the 10 years we lived there. We moved to the country and I've planted 12 peach, plum, pear, and apple trees and none have bloomed in 6 years. Oh and 1 pomegranite tree/bush, which I'm not even sure if you can grow them in OK, but they had them that year at atwoods so I bought one.

Apples and pears are somewhat more likely to avoid freeze damage in Oklahoma/Arkansas.

It depends on how cold you go and for how long. It also depends on the specific stage the blooms are at, so it can be fairly hard to predict. Many fruit trees can tolerate temperatures in the lower 30s or upper 20s (27 or above) for a limited period of time. If you go below 27, there's virtually no hope. If you stay at 27 for too long, there's not much hope. Covering them up only works if you can make all the coverings come all the way down to the ground and you can weight them down thoroughly and completely to hold in the heat from the ground. Personally, I don't think it is worth the trouble. I tried it a couple of times and even when they were very well covered, it didn't seem to help them much. In professional orchards they burn smudge pots or use special misting sprinkler systems to coat the trees in ice to protect them. When homeowners try to replicate this process with a yard sprinkler, it doesn't work because the lawn sprinklers put out water at a higher flow rate and it tends to freeze on the trees and break the trees in half or break off their limbs. And, I can count on one hand the number of people I know who have smudge pots for their fruit trees (I know exactly one person who does). If your trees were still pretty small and fairly close together, you could hurriedly build a hoophouse over them, put a heater inside it and hope for the best, but I doubt your trees are small enough or close enough together to make this a workable idea for you. I think it is much harder now to get a fruit harvest than it used to be. In our early years here, we could get a good fruit harvest 1 year out of 3, a middling harvest 1 year out of 3 and no harvest 1 year out of 3. Now we're lucky to get a good harvest once every 4 or 5 years. I'm just about done with fruit trees because of this.

Yeah, the weather is becoming so erratic.

I was hopeful when you said 27 degrees Dawn but after checking the weather again theyve now 25 degees for saurtday night. Sigh. Maybe next year.....

My apricot trees are loaded this year, we somehow avoided that last evil freeze this year.

How did everyone else fare? Is it a good news year for your stone fruit?
