Cappy & Pegody's World: Feast or Famine; Only Time Will Tell
Because of the late freeze, I didn't get a single plumb off the two trees I had last year. (2014)
We only got 1 pan full and hadda look hard for that. Managed to put up 3 qts
Cappy we had a very good crop last year even though the late freeze brought temps here to 22 degrees. I think the cold is more harmful when the trees are in the flower stage. I don't think the fruit is as susceptible to the cold. I have a young McBeth loquat that has bloomed for the first time this year. It's in a five gallon pot in my greenhouse. where right now with the temperature at 27 degrees the greenhouse temp is 35 degrees. My little heater is working it's butt off.

How cold did it git get there last night? (1-8-15) We had 9 degrees this morning in Eastern Arkansas.
Don't know about you folks in Ar and La but over here in Western Ms I had a coke freeze in my truck with the heater on.
That's either cold or you got a sorry heater.
