Last night, we had a late frost (well, it froze to 27°F), and, when I’m looking at my Apricots, they really appear dead (remembering how dead ones have looked in the past).
That’s why I’m pruning the trees down to a size where I can cover them with frost cloth. It’ll take another two seasons, I think.
frost killed the fruit or the trees?
Trees are perfectly fine; fruits were fatally wounded, and are now shriveled.
Collect them all and make a batch of Umeshu
50/50 fruit and rock sugar and cover with 40 proof

Actually, it looks like the Apricots that were shielded from the wind (either because they were situated in a lot of foliage, behind a branch, or on the side near the shed) survived.
