Do plants in small pots — like those newly home from the nursery, or
recently potted plant divisions — have more problems surviving a freeze
such as this? Does the size of a pot matter in damage/survival?
Also, given that soil temperatures throughout most of Northern
California will not remain frozen for long, how much does the freezing
and thawing of soil damage plants?
