Re: Tampa before and after freeze pics
I think the plants will push new leaves except the 6 that were already in the fruiting stage. Those plants will not put out any new leaves as far as my knowledge goes so I guess I should cut them down. Is this right?

The fruits will be hit or miss depending on how cold they got. The corm is likely still pumping out nutrients to the fruits, so they migh grow some more. I'd say let them be until they turn brown and rank.

Re: Tampa before and after freeze pics
Bummer! That looks my mine after the arctic blast we had here a few years ago. One thing I found was that you want to remove all the dead leaves close to the p-stems asap so they can dry out and not rot. Once the rot starts its a pain to deal with.
As for the fruit you may as well take it down and let it ripen. Mine never seemed to grow much more and the skins had little freckles on them. The flavor was off on all of them too. So my vote is cut down all the fruiting plants, trim the younger ones, and wait for new growth. I think you'll be happier faster that way. |

Re: Tampa before and after freeze pics
It only got down to the mid to upper 30s here, so no freeze or frost damage. But the cold does change the flavor of some varieties, as Mitchel said. The Manzano's that were ripening have none of the apple taste anymore, but they still made great banana bread! I hope the cold weather for S.Fl is over for this year! Good luck on everyones recovery.
