Freeze Warning in effect Monday night AND Tuesday night.
A Freeze Warning is in effect for the Cincinnati tristate Monday night and Tuesday night.
A number of hours well below freezing, in the 20's, means trouble for very sensitive plants.
Most native plants, as well as daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, and pansies, will be just fine.
Fruit production in fruit trees which are already in bloom may be significantly damaged. Japanese maples which have already budded out and have young leaves will also be quite vulnerable.
If possible, run a sprinkler on these from late night into the early morning. You may also cover these trees with a light weight sheet. Covering them with plastic may cause more harm than good, and could cause significant damage.
