I put low temp wiper fluid in my vehicles (like RainX All Season)…protects the sump and pump, and it helps ice melt faster when sprayed on windshield. Also, I use some RV antifreeze in fountains to protect the pumps if I can’t drain them…it’s safer for pets, birds that might get to it and is safe for potable water systems.

To protect a tree that is frost prone hang as many incandescent (not led) Christmas lights as possible within the foliage.
Then take burlap or a tree bag and cover all the limbs and growth. Bring the excess down to the trunk and tie it off with string tightly so that cold air cannot leak upwards.
The incandescent lights add 3-5 degrees and the burlap helps to hold the warmth in while preventing frost from settling directly on the buds or growth.
