We had a freak late frost last month and it damaged new leaves. One
tree, a lace-leaf Japanese maple looks like as it dopes in winter--no
leaves except for the frost-bitten brown leaves. Another tree
(native) is a hackberry and it dropped all its leaves but currently it
is flowering without any green leaves--very strange. The dogwood tree
blossoms froze and these did not bloom this year. Will these trees
eventually leave out? We are currently in a drought situation and I
have been watering the Japanese maple tree. Will these trees recover?
We are now having upper 80-degree weather. E.TN
