Default Re: Cold Weather Plant Report

I wonder if having such a high swing from luke warm days to almost freezing cold nights decreases cold tolerance? It's also ideal to compare apples to apples: a recently planted FHIA1, for example, will have much less cold tolerance compared to a full mature established mat of FHIA1.

In contast to weather in Georgia, our recent temperatures here in Northern California have been in the high 50's during the day and the coldest has been in the high 30's at night. So far, no cold damage to anything, not even on a verified dwarf cavendish (one of my most cold sensitive varieties) that has zero protection. Of course, our lows are a bit higher compared to Georgia temps, so it'll be interesting to see what happens when we get closer to freezing here in Northern California.
