I have no idea, but i have some (peaches/japanese plums) out in the yard and they are being tested big time. I also have some in the garage that should be ok. My guess is that if they are still wrapped it might help some...but who knows.

I would wrap them well to keep from drying out. I used to remove parafilm in fall but now I let it stay on through the winter for extra protection, and I re-wrap if it cracked. For peaches in particular I noticed live buds in fall turned to dead buds in spring.

I wish I would have thought of re-wrap mine sonner!!! I t-budded my peach and looked like a couple were taken.

Now that they have been exposed to subzero for a few days. Don't know if it's too late to re-wrap them!!

mamuang, I don't have any hard data that it helps, but it won't hurt to wrap them now since we are only halfway thorough the worst of winter.

Hoping I missed unwrapping some.

Thanks, Scott,

I went out to wrap a few viable buds after work today. I could not do it with gloves so I had to do it with barehand. My hands were numb after only a few minutes.

It was about -15F with windchill (I know it's not as cold as the midwest) Glad I only had a few to wrap!!!
