CULT: HYB: freeze damage lemonade


Definitely seeing signs of damage from the past week's cold, but it was an ideal seedling 'selection' freeze here. Just enough cold to cause slight foliar injury, but only on some plants; and just enough to damage forming buds & stalks on some, but not all. Buds that were close to showing color are now opening and all are at least somewhat deformed so far.

Except for LOW HO SILVER, which is protected by overhanging tree branches.

Some foliage on trees in the low lying areas was blackened, but not all.

Subject line might make a good cultivar name. Or maybe just FREEZING LEMONADE. ;-)
