I ran across this product while looking for something else. Don't know if it would work for my eastern friends, but 10F of protection could be a significant help, and maybe help avoid the springtime in-and-out-of-storage merry-go-round?

Frost/crop protection.

I have been using it for years in the early Spring.  When frost threatens the pots are turned on there side and the gro-fab (or whatever name your using) is unrolled over them with some bricks along the edges to keep it from blowing away. It works well as long as the plants are still in the green bud/ just leafing out stage, but it is a lot of time to set the plants down then back up.  It will give you at least a month jump on vegetables which is why I had it to try.

Looks great. Thanks for the heads up guys. May give me an eary start for some variants.

Thanks Jon for posting this. I'm sure it would certainly help. It's a bit expensive from what I see. I have found that using an old carpet does a great job insulating the tree. I also put a tarp in top of the carpet. It had worked great for years. 

I use agribon in my tunnels to protect tomato plants set out in March. I also cover the fig trees when the nights get down in the 30's in my unheated green house. It is pretty cheap when you buy it in 500 foot rolls..:) I paid $79 for mine at Martin's in Shippensburg, Pa
