If you add plastic to the outside of the cloth it really enhances the protection. You can use painters drop cloth plastic. It’s about $10 at Walmart. This video is great and is making me very tempted to plant a mango in ground here in Dallas, tx. I have a green house and I use a 1200 watt heater that rotates and it keeps it at least 10 plus degrees higher.

Great and informative video. Question why not make the enclosure smaller like right up next to the tree....curious if the touching can kill the plant

Cold will transfer through the material and cause damage to the plant.
