So I am in zone 6a and had all my trees on the benches up until yesterday. I was out of town Saturday night/Sunday morning and our overnight low dipped to 14F (about 10F lower than what was forecasted). Because I wasn’t anticipating temps in the teens, my trees were left unprotected on the benches. We have had a few freezes prior to this cold snap but no temps in the low 20s or teens up until this weekend. Anybody else get caught off guard by a late fall cold snap and have their trees pull through in spring? I was able to pack away my trees in a cold frame yesterday morning when I got home but I am still worried that they may have been damaged by the steep drop in temperature. I have American elm, crabapple, BC, JM, river birch, apple, tulip poplar and a few other Ohio natives.
