Hi Learner, thanks for that  . I had the same fear during a recent frost & acted likewise. Once I'd protected the young buds, I then read the leaflet that came with it. Apparantley, once planted, so long as the soil wasn't frozen, frost won't do any harm to the tree. I found it curious too

I'm pleased to hear that frost wont be a problem - thanks for letting me know - I have learnt something new! 

Best of luck with the crop!

I know what you mean...  Last year I planted a plum tree on dwarf rooting stock... the white flowers are dazzling and a promise of something even better to come if I'm lucky

I've heard of them, but not come across them as yet.

I'm hoping that pink flowered strawberries give as good a crop as whites... it would be nice to have something different looking as well as tasty and reliable.

I've a variety of different types - more by chance than design. One batch from "Lidls" (is that the correct spelling??) proved really good last year. 

We have pink flowered strawbs in pots in the graden, surrounding lavender etc -- look good and crop fairly well despite not really getting enough water. Taste good too, especially warm from the sun

 I guess they multiply by sending out runners like most other types?
