Default Re: Freeze damage in Florida

Here in NW FL, the damage was pretty severe. I think the bananas I protected will have the stems survive, but the younger pups will be starting back from at least half of the stem. Some of the protected bananas are already showing some growth.

Inground pineapples were wiped out--even with protection, the ones with pineapples were brought indoors and only had minor damage. My red dragon fruit may have survived, but the white was probably killed. The amazing survival was my avocado--almost no damage except the tips.

Some damage to citrus trees--lemon is really bad--will probably defoliate completely, most have minor limb damage.
