Default Frost risk to outdoor fruits
For me the warm weather has opened buds on outdoor, raspberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants and gooseberries. The blackcurrant will be ok but I am concerned about the others given next weeks forecast of -0 temps and snow. Any advice folks?

i am in the same boat plus my plum tree is a mass of blossom right now. Personally I can't think of any way to protect them as they are all too big.
I suggest we pray.

They're all natives to the British Isles and should be OK to late frosts... no worries!
