palmtree

Got down to 24F in my yard last night. It was cold compared to what I have been used to this fall! My tender tropical plants got zapped for the first time this year. My Musa basjoo which was days away from opening a new leaf also got frost damaged so the new leaf is brown.
Something that I thought was interesting is that my Passiflora has no damage at all. Its still completely green and its in a very cold spot in my yard. I didn't know that they stayed evergreen even in freezing weather.

No more hard freezes for the next 10 days. Although one night will go back down to 29F again.
Its slowly getting very winter like, but I still have potted palms and other plants outside that are doing well and since its already mid December, I cant complain! We are just a week away from the official start of winter!
