We have an old walnut tree just beside our patio. Beside lots of problems we love it and want to keep it. The only problem that we really can not take any more is the squirrels chewing the walnuts and making a colorful mess in our patio. Sometime we have to clean up few times a day. Even after the season the track of walnut fruit remains everywhere in the patio and yard, almost impossible to wash off.
I am looking for a way to prevent the fruits from growing. Maybe somehow at blooming season to drop off all the blooms.

What’s the best way to keep fruit tree buds from freezing?

We have several fruit trees which have already started budding here in Albuqueruque, NM. I don’t think we have blossoms yet. We seem to always lose the buds/blossoms on these particular trees and, therefore, the fruit because of freezing weather. How can we keep the buds/blossoms from freezing and dying? How can we keep them from budding and blossoming so early? We’ve heard about putting plastic sheets and XMAS lights on the trees. I assume the plastic should be clear but should it be a particular type?
