<pre>Margaret,
Getting frost control or protection is more about management using a number
of methods and products rather than attempting to find any one particular
wonder product.
There are some products which claim to assist with frost.
I use liquid seaweed/fish and a product called EM.
EM is a bacterial inoculant which contains within the culture frost
reducing bacteria.
I mave made the observation last winter that this may well have foundation
as some trees I sprayed did not receive the same frost damage as other
trees which were not sprayed.
A trial will be carried out this next winter to see if the point or level of
control can be determined.
