How's the spear, Tim? My plain fortunei look real similar to yours - freezer burnt, but I expect a recovery. I had heavy protection - r13 from the ground to the crown, and covered with plastic. I kinda half-@$$ed the top, and think the cold infiltrated there. We had 2-3 low single digit nights and 2 72+hr freezes. Of all the damaged trachies I've seen posted on the HP&SB, the nainital have looked the best.
How is your inground citrus - I think it was a thomasville citrangequat or citrumelo?

Unfortunately, this winter has plunged most of North America to temperatures one would only expect north of the Arctic Circle...hopefully your trachy will pull through!

My Nainital croaked its first winter in the ground.
All while a regular Trachy did fine in a pot for the first 2 months of winter in an alcove!
Not impressed with Nainitals, but hope yours bounces back as it was a good size.

Looks like it has taken a beating for sure with repeated damage from cold.
Yours looks like one of the more cold hardy Naintal judging by its structure-
hopefully the crown is a little better insulated then those leaves 😕 .
