we haven't had weather below 45 for about a month. And most things are have massive swelling buds are already well into leaf. Then tonight the weathers gonna dip to 28 degrees for a few hours. Some of my trees are large and im not really wanting to bring them all in. My bald cypress if a few days out from being in leaf and most are like this. Do I rell need to being them all in?

Maybe you can put something around it so it will be just a little bit warmer.

You should be Ok.

Anything freshly repotted and dear might should get moved!

An old nursery man's trick is to wet the plants in case of frost. Or cover them with a tarp if you have just a few.
Sorry I didn't see this in time for you last night.

In the future if you have that concern Agway has blankets for plants as well as plastic dome covers. The blankets are very inexpensive. Reason I pipe that in is because it can save people the "dance" ;)
