4x consecutive days of frost at: -0.7 / -2.9 / -4.7 / -0.6°c ( 30.7 / 26.8 / 23.5 / 30.9°f )

This is 20-days after the freeze.

R. baueri var. raoul island ( top ) were fried by the frost, but the R. chathamica ( bottom ) has no damage.

Both forms were next to one another during the freeze, but pulled up against the house.

The Raoul Island baueri used to be var. cheesemanii. The Norfolk Island form was var. baueri.
