Winter Storm Uri Damages Azaleas Across East Texas
Usually now (Mid-March to Mid April) is the best time to see the beautiful Azaleas here in Deep East Texas. There is even a route map with over 25 miles of residential areas in Nacogdoches that feature the beautiful blooms. This year due to a hard freeze during Winter Storm Uri the Azaleas have gone missing.
Officials at the SFA Gardens say not to worry, and that they most likely aren t dead. For now the best thing we can do is, nothing. Just relax and wait, they are no doubt hurt, but there is still hope. Wait for spring growth to kick in, and then prune when you can. Then you will be able see what is growing and what is not. It is just still too early to tell what is going to happen.
