Antidessicant to prevent winter damage?

[TurkeyCreekTrees]

With all the damage that seems to a result of winter injury. I was wondering if anyone has used or uses a antidessicant to reduce the amount of winter damage on fruit trees. I know it is used on evergreen plants. Just wondering if it would provide some degree of protection to fruit trees and bushes?

There are some discussions of this going on in a couple other threads now, e.g.

How Are the Brambles Doing After the Winter?

Drew, you have me sold, I will try it this winter. My blackberries actually did pretty well last winter as I have weeded out less hardy ones, but I did lose some canes. But my main hope is for my figs and poms, which all died to the ground.
