I have over 100 JM's-the vast majority in the ground . We are in a prolonged deep freeze. It hit 30 degrees 2 nights ago, 27 last night and predicted 30 again tonight. Nearly all show extensive leaf "droop" at this point, like lettuce in the fridge that accidentally got frozen, just when everything was starting to look spectacular. Does anyone know what I can likely expect?: complete defoliation of these leaves, tree death, major branch loss, strong comeback in 3-4 weeks, any predictable affect on the fall show? You can imagine the time, love and money I have invested in JMs. I am extremely bummed.
