Now that it’s March and it’s very unlikely there will be any temperatures cold enough to be damaging to avocados through the rest of this winter, I took a walk around my yard to make some observations about how different avocado trees fared during the single freezing week we had in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The low temperature was on January 8, at 27 degrees. But on the succeeding nights it was 29 degrees three times. Over the course of nine days, from January 6 through January 14, it was 32 or below every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t extremely cold for my place. It’s been colder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe your place is warmer or maybe your place is always colder. Regardless, seeing the responses of my trees to the above temperatures might be useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
