I am talking about a ficus tree and our jacaranda tree got damaged two years ago and it is finally growing back.

I would cover them but the wind just knocks the covering off.

I guess if I spray them before I go to bed that should be sufficient?

Bust up a hay bale and get some ground cover down if you don’t have any plastic to cover the ground.

In order for the spraying to be effective, you’d more or less need to turn a sprinkler on it, hitting all the foliage, and leave it on to create a coating of ice. So, you’d not want to hit it too hard with water/ice, which could end up damaging the plant due to the weight of the ice. Is this a large tree? Six feet, eight, ten? Too large to cover and tie it around the trunk(s)?
