To keep the early buds from freezing, yes. Once there is fruit on the trees, the weather is warm enough to not need; however, then there is always a slight chance of hailstorm to bruise and damage!

And for the cherries - if it rains and is warm just before cherries are ripe and ready to pick, they will burst, rendering them useless for commercial sales. Just a crazy way to earn a living, but I'm sure glad some do tackle it!

Protects from frost, hail and sunburn.

Nice set, Linda. The first is a nice composition and I like the one with the guy on the ladder. But no thanks for reminding me how far behind we are back here - 10 degrees as I type this!

Very pretty indeed Linda. I'm a little jealous. Still lots of snow here right now. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry, Dennis. Crazy to think the overnight low in Bangor was to be 6 degrees last night...

Thanks for viewing!

Spring has sprung! When I saw the title, I thought, "It must be Linda's." :-)

Very pretty orchards and nicely photographed and composed shots.
