Re: Secrets of Great Gardeners By Doreen

Be careful using bubble wrap.  If any part of the plant touches the
plastic, and the temperature drops below freezing--that part of the
plant will die.  I had a friend use bubble wrap to insulate her lemon
and kumquat trees when a freeze threatened, and she lost both.  The
plastic transfers the cold directly to cell walls in the leaves and
causes them to rupture.
