I had the identical temps as you, Orkine. It was actually windy on Dec 23. I may need accomplished extra harm than the chilly and wind with extreme masking (frost-cloth wrapped vegetation lined by nursery pots or rubbish cans). However every thing that appeared wilty after being uncovered on Monday has since perked again up once more. My Soursops look actually unhealthy, as do a pair small bananas.
In protection of my overkill, final yr’s lows after we had the freezes had been decrease than what was forecast. And NOAA was forecasting lows of 32°F and 33°F. I did not need to take probabilities, as I already had blooms on a Pickering and on my Sugarloaf.
I simply ordered a temp gun to hopefully get a greater sense of temps right here vs what’s said by the assorted climate studies.
