I remember, before Katrina, how they used to hose their Satsuma trees down in venice before the freeze. not sure the concept but i'm sure there was a reason due to the fact that their Satsuma farms were freakin massive.

Water freezes at 32 degrees and will not get any colder than that. 32 degrees will not kill the tree and the water was used to save the "core' of the tree and bud union where it was grafted.
