I think it was something caused by the water standing on that part of the leaf and cold windy conditions. I don't think it's fertilizer burn or anything unless you did a foliar feed or splashed fertilizer water on the leaves that day. Did u do that? Dwarf red hasn't proven itself to be more cold sensitive than any other in my greenhouse, it can take down to 45 or so for overwintering with no adverse effects at all. So it's cold wet windburn. Trim off the ugly edges and it will be ok, just a freak occurrence.
