Good job, George! I have to do something similar every late fall in Bay Area, USA (Zone 9B). I am worried about that big jackfruit's trunk.

It's a lot of work but a great job completed. It's worth it if you save most or all of the tender tropicals 👍

We use large and medium office binder clips in packs of 24 much cheaper on Amazon than any other resources

We don't get the temperatures that you're having until July in the Newcastle area in New South Wales, yesterday it got up to 18°C so the days have been pleasant when it's at least partially overcast.

Well Done 👍. I have used green tree guards that act like a greenhouse for each plant from Bunnings for a lot of smaller trees when young. That’s hard to do when taller. I make a number of them joint to fit larger trees but there’s a limit to what you can do with that. I think the good frost cloth should pay off for you. It’s a lot of work for looking after Tropicals but if you get them to the stage of not needing protection like the Glen Mango it’s worth all the work put into it . All the best with theses trees 🌴

I've been doing some experimenting with frost cloth and I've found that it only gives about 1-2c of protection on 0c nights. However, when I added a buckets of water next to the trees as thermal mass, the trees got 4-6c of protection on 0c nights. So I think it is a good idea to put buckets or barrels of water next to the trees you are most worried about. More water (thermal mass) equals more protection. Also, it might help to put clear polythene around the sides of the tree, with frost cloth over the top.

You can get metal pegs from kmart and stuff, they are strong and sturdy

Is that breadfruit? Coz you're planting toooo closed.. Breadfruit needs bigger space because it's branches will spreadout.
