These continued low temperatures are hurting many of your Region 9 plants! Garden Expert Randy Lemmon says there s some loss coming to some neighborhood front yards. What is the least amount of a temperature that these tropical plants can take? I think we re going to lose probably 70% of the palms in the Greater Houston Area this year. He says to give your tropical plants a few weeks of wait and see before you start removing them.
Whether you covered your outdoor plants or not - they are taking a beating right now. Lemmon says here s what you do if you think there s any life left. We have to look at it and see just how oooo-gooey crispy brown and chewy it is and then we re going to cut it way back. Then wait a few weeks to see if any new growth appears.
