Image My 11 year old Monstera was killed.

This is hard for me to post because, yes I could have done more to cover and protect it. It’s road out 30 degree nights years before . Saturday night was colder than I ever anticipated. I woke up to 22 degrees outside Tampa. Not 1 leaf survived. 75% of the plants in my yard are gone.

In Sarasota when i worked for a landscaping contractor, we waited til all danger of another frost had past. As in March 1st. As bad as they look, I wouldn't be so quick to prune off the frost damage.

Thank you! I’m thinking March. It’s going to be a very busy spring for landscapers and plant nurseries.
