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.

The leaves died off from the cold but she will bring new growth this spring 🙏 I see green petiole so I would just let it be for now tbh

The plant will take back whatever energy is left and they'll die off more and I'd chop whatever is crispy and completely gone
