Same here. But I figured they were old enough they had seen this kind of cold before. Was still a little unnerving to see every single leaf drop. Back to near 100% now.This was my concern. I have some huge live oaks, but they are growing leaves.

Why do some of y'all have bottle brush trees? I got one because I liked the look of it. I planted it and it grew wonderfully. And it was gorgeous.
But even though it was far away, at the end of my driveway, I could stand at my kitchen sink and see the literal cloud of wasps that swarmed around it all day. You better believe I cut that thing down and did my best to pull it out by the roots as soon as winter came.
As for stuff that was killed by the freeze, I lost one bush (the rest of them have grown better than any spring I can remember) and two large succulents that I forgot to cover. I'm leaving the succulents alone in hopes that they may rebound in a year. My family has had them for over 50 years and I'm really hoping they aren't completely dead.
Good advice. Our local radio garden guy said give plants until July 4th to show signs of life. We have a mountain laurel down the hill that looked decimated. All the leaves turned brown and dropped. The other day I noticed that the trunk and branches are still green. It may yet bounce back.I'd give them a couple more weeks.
Lot's of plants we thought were dead have just started budding out.
Same here on the too tall, according to BW. Cut the fronds off the sagos and they are coming back. Have had to do this before so kind of expected they would.My shorter palm I cut all the dead fronds and it's growing. The tall one is too tall to clean up, been watching from the ground but still don't see any green up there.
Used to be an insecticide that was very effective against emerald ash borer beetles. EPA banned it. Now you cannot find anything that works.Could be the freeze but maybe could also be due to the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle.
Mesquits and pecans are usually among the last to bud out in the Spring. My pecan is in full green right now.Saw some green sprouting on one of my mesquites today. Maybe it comes back.

Lemon tree looks like the day she planted it many years ago.Bottle brush shoots coming up from the roots are nearly a foot high now.
