Branches I cut in the fall usually have new growth on them by February and well before the last freeze is over for the region. The leaves seem to be okay with the frosts but the flowers are not.
Camera Model Lumix GH3, modified by LifePixel for Full Spectrum
Lens Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm-50mm
Filter 750nm Infrared Passthrough filter
Aperture f/4
Shutter Speed 1/200 sec
Film Speed 200
Spectrum Infrared (IR)
Wavelength 750 nanometers
Location North Georgia USA.
When the tree does produce, like when frosts end early it gives the leaves a peach like smell.
This smell arrives well before the peaches are ready, and seems to attract ants to the tree.
When ants are on the tree they keep them free from caterpillars, worms and other pests. So I dont mind them around. Though im not a fan of when they fall on me when im under the tree.

I take pictures with a special camera. Its a Mirrorless DSLR that has been modified by Life Pixel to see light in other wavelengths. This allows my camera to see light in the Infrared [IR] around 1300 NM wavelength, through the visual spectrum and into the Ultraviolet A and B wavelengths roughly into the 300 NM wavelength.
I carry many filters on me to make the photos you see in my blog, these filters screw on my lens and help me isolate certain wavelengths for certain scenes. These filters can be IR / UV pass-through filters to assist me get a natural photo taking out the UV and IR light. Or I may use a Infrared pass-through filter capture just IR light. I can do the same with UV light as well, though I need some better filters which they can cost a few hundred dollars for true Ultraviolet pass through filters. So for right now I have B + W 403 bandpass filters that still allow some IR light in, due to their cheaper material.
There are also exotic glasses made of sapphire and germanium I am open to working with to replace my silica glass hot mirror with a material that allows even longer wavelengths of infrared to enter my cameras sensor. Special sensors, lenses and filters of that material would be needed as well, so it would be a big project but one that may give some even more unique photography results.
Addresses below to help me buy better camera equipment and support me to travel to locations to do photo and video and overall great blogs in new places. I would be happy to list some of the contributors in my posts for donations that help me along the way.
