First Freeze Of '010 For Louisiana - Page 2

Lowest here in Lake Charles was 20 also but it was the other 3 nights of 26, 21, 22 that did the damage. The last night of 22 seems to be the real killer. It's looks like both Ae Ae, one of those had 7 pups, are dead along with Double Mahoi, Kru, Dwarf Red, and maybe Ice Cream. Hopefully, they will return from the corm. Ca. Gold appears to be burned but alive and maybe Raja Puri. I haven't had this much cold damage in 15 years. Oh well, it was time to weed out a few plants; the yard had become too overgrown anyway.

Hopefully things will come back for you, Steve. I was thinking the same thing, though, about the need to weed some things out. I'm sure my wife would agree!

Well Gents I hope the worst has come & gone.. I left one banana out in the elements(DC) with a 3ft Pstem. After 2 nights of 15F & 3 nights of 21F and several other in the upper 20's I still have a foot & half that's hard.. I'm not cutting it (3ft) just to protect it from what may still be ahead. I know all but 3 sago's got some damage.. Over all I'm a Happy Camper :^)

I'd suggest giving everything (once the weather is warm again) a good dose of fertilizer to give the plants strength to recover.
