Last night was the first hard frost.
The paulownia tree has dropped most of is large leaves over night! They dwarf the bird bath and The Buddha.
The Acuba plants and other evergreens also curl their leaves in a process know as abscission. It is thought that this may prevent moisture loss and prevent the leaves for freezing.
The basjoo bananas usually are not damaged until temps reach 25f so last night was right at the point of which they may have some damage.
The temperature will be up in the 50s by midday and 60s by midweek. This means a final leaf clean up and the beginning of winter maintenance!
