Thoroughly watering all your plants during periods of freezing nights will help prevent damage. Because humid air cools slower, a wet plant can avoid frost damage. You can even water you entire yard to increase this effect.
Cover plants with a frost cloth or old blankets during cold nights. For larger plants apply Frost Proof insulating spray. This applies a thin wax-like layer that minimizes evaporation from the leaves, thus preventing damage. Do not use plastic covers, as this can increase damage, and make sure to cover all the way to the ground.
You can help prevent frost/freeze damage by stringing up large bulb lights in their trees. Incandescent provide the best warming effect. Even a few degrees can make a huge difference.
