ive had little frost damage. a little discoloring and warped leaves. nothing to bad though considering. my plum was in full flower with zero damage. those plum blossoms must be able to handle lower temperatures. they always bloom before the apples. just grafted on some nectarines. they have red flowers. it looks pretty cool having white and red flowers on the same tree. good luck.
Still silvertip at best here in Mid-Michigan. A little snow flurries last night and flurries today. I think we're on schedule to survive the frosts again this year.
you can start small fires in the middle of your orchard. this moves the colder air. ive seen videos about it in other countries. also big fans with mist systems. but fires are easy.

Didn’t know that about plums.

I spent early spring fretting it then thought I was fine then..........
Good luck!

I’ve seen a lot of creative things. I might do some of that one of these days.
