Sorry, I misunderstood. First, remember that these bush fruit are very cold
hardy and may not be damaged by the freeze as much as you fear. If the new
shoots are frozen back, I'd prune each of the branches on the plants back to
three to five buds. If they are present, dormant buds, whether on what
remains of the branches or on the roots, should sprout. Be patient with this
process, it may take a while. I'm not sure why you're contemplating
resetting the plants, unless you want to have more of the buds on the
branches buried so there will be buds to sprout should another freeze like
the expected one occur. -- Sam

Sam, what I'm saying is they have leafed out a month ago and this
weekend all that leafing out will be frozen back. Just wondering out
loud if it will reset the plants to want to send out some secondary
buds....
