Interesting to note that on the night of Dec 21st, the temperature on Doi Inthanon mountain, 2565 meters summit fell to minus 1°C . Its only 50 clicks away and we could have had some unregistered cold drafts that night from the northwest which could explain sudden cold damage.
A well driller is not looking for surface water or the surface water table. So water is ether draining way very slowly flooding the roots for days at a time; or draining away so quick the water is leching away the fertilizer & nutrients.
