Wish I could say the same about my neck of the woods in Monticello... was 31 and we had light frost holding onto the grass until around 9am. Wrapped blankets around younger fruit trees I've got planted so crossing fingers they'll be ok.

JUST AS A FYI to all who might see this, what's recently done more damage than frost to young stressed trees at my place is tiny &@#! ambrosia boring beetles. They supposedly are drawn to ethanol released from trees after being stressed by frost, bore into the trunk, and then go to town boring AND introducing a host fungus into trees that will kill the trees unless you cut them clean at the ground. Had to cut back a big fig tree on my place last year and a mulberry tree this year.

Obvious giveaway you've had a tree attacked by the boring beetles is white toothpick like projections sticking out of the tree up and down the trunk area.

Pic pulled from google to show what the "toothpicks" look like if the ambrosia beetles find your young trees.
