DoomsDave Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Okay. On reflection, I think that spot of the garden didn't get as cold as the rest. An R. oleracea baby showed no damage. What gives? (Wanna bottle, if possible.) But, that said, some of the D. leptos in the back forty suffered 24.8 FF and they didn't burn, either. dave Let's keep our forum fun and friendly.

MattyB Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 That "Tree of Lust and Desire" has like a 20 foot thick canopy so I'm sure that helped a lot.

DoomsDave Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Matty! It's probably a D. lastelliana. Much more tender. So far, no damage. FORTY foot canopy, more like. Lots!

LJG Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 28 Degrees/No frost This shows a prime example why you do not plant in late fall. This was planted in Oct. Beautiful trunking plant. It was placed in a new cleared spot in my landscape and is at the north end of the house that points to a hill. So the cold air came off the hill and collected against the house. So not only did I plant in fall, but I placed where I never considered where cold air would collect. This plant was in perfect shape as of four days ago. Judging from other post, had this been in the ground since spring, it would have been fine like others are.

MattyB Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I noticed that this plants (like most others) cold/sun hardiness increased with time in the ground and out of the greenhouse. It really hardens off well, better than I ever would have expected. It looks like LJG just found out the hard way. Sorry.
