Sorry to hear that. I know it's disappointing. We aren't going to know the damages until the plants should start sprouting new leaves. We expect a lot of leaf fall from the citrus, but hopefully the plants themselves are still alive. Well, with another round of low 20s temps tonight, that might push some over the edge.
I walked around just a bit ago to check the tarps to make sure they hadn't gotten blown off the plants and thanks to the rain we had early Wednesday morning, had some puddles of water on the edges of the tarps that froze over night. Some of them did not melt through the day today, so that isn't a good sign.
I'll have to run out later on when the temps get around mid 30s to drip the hose bibbs we have scattered around.
Y'all can have 2018. I want 2017 back.
