Steve for one,I'll say a prayer!!!
I planted four last week,and got home just as the snow started falling after work,and placed trash cans over them,just went out and uncovered them,after being closed up for 2 days now,they look ok,but time will tell.

You'll forget all about it when it's 80f next week.
Cheers, Barrie.

Well 23* this morning,with a windchill of 10*F.
Now a balmy 35*.
I wish 80*,there saying hi 50's low 60's,all the trees that where leafed out got fried!!!
Worried that the wheat crop,might have gotten it too!
Not good for the peaches,apricots and apples either!!!

Checked in at 19F / -7C
Probably a bit colder tonight, Hoping the farmers come through with minimal losses.
I did mangle the robusta getting a trash can over the top of it
Bring on those 80's

It looks good. I doubt it will get any damage at all if it dosent go below 18F. I have some that went through those exact conditions for a few months straight lost a couple lower leaves but are fine now. Good luck

One night of 19F & another at 18F/-7C
Didn't really seem to bother it to much.
The Livistona is a bit rougher looking, still pushing new spears, so it should recover.
