Hey wx, I had snow on my washys last night! 😯 Not much but it was cool to see on them, they still look the same. I should have taken a picture I guess.

It was 62 here today and not looking cold for awhile! All my nanas are still out and green! Only one has damage, I have found the week link! I'm going to keep them out as long as possible wx, there still pushing out leaves, big ones too. I'm shooting for Nov. to cover them.

Be careful! They take awhile to show damage. The one in my backyard that saw 19F took a month to go from green to brown.

Yeah I know wx! I didn't do it on purpose actually, the weather men missed the forecast by 11 degrees they said low 36. Nice work! I would have covered them with something, even a sheet would have been fine. When I say they where black they weren't all that bad looking. 30% maybe, they'll grow back anyways but I think there ok. Trust me I'll keep a better eye out for that type of event. I'm gonna spray them with the freeze-pruf today, I might as well I bought it.

Freeze pruf applied! 77 here today, I miss summer! One gallon goes quiet along way I was surprised, spraying with the manual pumper my forearms where burning. Lot of area to cover front and back on those washys.
