Yesterday we woke to very cold weather, but thankfully, no snow. Our Angel Trumpet trees have done well to date in spite of a very slow start this year. One frost will kill them, and they are now officially dead.
Before busylizzy hacked them to pieces, I prepared a coroner's report with photographic evidence. The icicle at the end of the leaf could not have happened had the temperature not been below zero. The angle of the icicle indicates wind as the droplets were freezing, assuring that there was a wind chill factor of about
-14C. We look forward to growing more Angel Trumpets next spring.
