Last month Kathy Evans had this comment:

"In the Midwest USA, we had a bad cold snap a few weeks ago, preceded by very 
warm weather. Everything had been blooming and leafing out, and the new 
leaves and catkins and such were frozen. Now, 3 weeks later, many of the 
large 
trees throughout our woodlands, oaks and sycamores and hickories and more, 
look 
completely dead. Does anyone have experience with this....will they come back 
this year or at least next? Thanks, Kathy "

Have all your trees leafed out by now? We had the same problem down here in 
Zone 7 (North Carolina), where a late frost blackened our new leaves and 
flowers.

Crape myrtles, saucer magnolias, crabapples, tulip poplars and a number of 
other species all looked dead as a doornail for weeks. All are now doing fine.

Has your experience been as good?
