Assessing the damage from the freeze we had a few weeks back. Liquidambar lost a few branches, still don't know if it will wake up, will definitely find out by next month. Surprisingly, the chojubai which I lost 2 last year are all pushing flower buds. Japanese quince are all flower budding, but my surprise were the Japanese black pines. LAst year they were all out with no protection, this year I had the frost blanket over them. Only thing I can think off is because of the amount of roots they lost when I removed them from the grow beds. I thought they would be fine, as most of the roots are inside the bags... so maybe it was just the bitter cold wind, without the protection of the ice and snow.
I think I will be cleaning up the needles this weekend, then probably pruning a few branches. All of them but two surely need rebagging™. (™= trademark Maiden)
The Japanese red pine sacrifice candles did suffer. but all the lower ones are doing fine.
