"Frost" is formed by sublimation at temperatures above freezing, typically in the mid to high 30's F (2 to 4 C).
The Himalayan foothills where the hills banana and Chiranjit Parmar are located is in a near tropical latitude. Dr. Parmar, in numerous conversations about plants of the area has told me that the record low temperature there at 1500 meters elevation is 45.5 F (7.5 C). The snow line is much higher, about 2100 meters.
