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?
