Default Re: Loquat

It got down according the thermometer on the house to almost 28 F at 6:00AM and was warmed up to above freezing by 9AM. At 11:00 AM was up to 54 F. There is damage to the larger loquat fruit. Those that were ripening and turning yellow are now turning brown. Perhaps the more immature ones will survive.

My banana plant was covered with mulch to its midpoint and protected last night on the upper part with a blanket still has it newly sprouted leaf in good shape. The earlier leaves were killed by an earlier frost prior to being protected.

A cold resistant tangerine seedling shows slight damage to the youngest leaf tips which were curling anyway likely from leaf miners.
