Yeah, it does seem like you can afford to miss another season or two! :)

We have that trouble with the apricot tree in the yard at my church. It almost always blooms a little too early and then all the blooms get killed by a late frost and no apricots. Every once in awhile (more often in these warmer times!) we don't have that last frost and get a huge crop of wonderful apricots.
