This January has been the coldest we have had since moving to the Hammock area of Palm Coast, Florida. There have been several nights of 30 degree lows and one night the bird bath was frozen. This has been a challenge with so many tropical trees and ornamentals. The one night that dipped into the upper 20's we covered all of the fruit trees with sheets and covered the trunks of each one with air conditioning insulation. The two royal poincianas are on the south side of the house next the the wood fence so they didn't get covered and they seem fine. The angels trumpets! Leaves are gone now but they seem to be alive and all of the plumarias look okay.
This is a three day weekend for us so I am planning to get some planting done when it warms up tomorrow.
