Always positive efficiency in the normal conditions of use. It’s better to position 350 to 400 candles in the hectar and to light(to switch on) at first 200 to 250 candles in the hectar and the rest according to the evolution of the temperature.
How to use orchard frost candles
One candle can protect a 20-25m² (5x5m) area from frost, which is roughly enough for a medium-sized fruit tree (with a canopy height of up to 4m). 400 candles per hectare.
Red: 250 to 300 candles per hectare for frosts between -3°C and -4°C;
Blue: In addition, place 150 to 200 candles per hectare to be lit in a second phase for frosts between -4°C and -6°C if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Orchard Anti-Frost Candles
how long do orchard frost candles store?
Sealed original iron drums stored in cool, dry, dark warehouses: optimal performance for 5–8 years, heating value and burning duration stay fully standard.
Long-term safe usable life reaches 10–12 years. Only minor wax yellowing or wick brittleness may occur, which will not affect frost protection efficiency for vineyards and orchards.
Once the iron barrel seal is broken, we recommend using within 2–3 years to avoid wick moisture failure.
Will paraffin anti-frost candles cause damage to grape buds and new shoots?
A：Our refined pure paraffin frost candles will not damage grape buds when deployed with standard layout spacing.
Heat safety: Flame is enclosed inside the sealed iron bucket and delivers gentle ambient heating rather than concentrated high-temperature radiation. Placing candles between vine rows instead of right next to canes avoids thermal scorching of tender buds. The heat only lifts local air temperature to prevent frost injury, which is the core purpose of this product.
Smoke & combustion safety: High-purity paraffin burns cleanly with only thin, mild smoke. The faint smoke layer even reduces ground heat loss to strengthen frost protection. Unlike wildfire or straw burning smoke that causes smoke taint on grapes, short-term low-density smoke from our candles leaves no harmful residue on buds and will not interfere with normal bud development, flowering and fruit setting.
Chemical property: Purified paraffin is chemically stable without toxic additives. No phytotoxic substances are released during combustion, so there is no risk of bud malformation or abscission.
How long does this anti-frost candle burn?
Typically, frost-protection candles have a burn time of 8 hours, but this product is customizable, allowing the duration to be extended according to requirements.

“This thing is a lifesaver! A few nights ago, the temperature suddenly dropped, it was freezing. I quickly went to the orchard and lit all these candles, and they burned really well. When I woke up the next day, the flowers hadn’t been damaged by the frost, and the harvest was saved thanks to it!”
