I'm in N.Cal mountains and we had a late freeze. My young (4 year-old) persimmon and walnut trees, as well as my pomegranate bushes, were all just leafing out. Now they're black and crispy (we've since had 80+ degree weather). I watered them pre/post frost. Does anyone know if they'll send out new buds from the frozen buds? Are they goners?
Thanks.
Persimmon/Pomegranate/Walnut Freeze
Sorry to hear that. The persimmons have backup buds which should sprout. It may take a week or two for them to get going. Last year there was a very late freeze in the midwest and it killed a lot of persimmons but they were further along in their growth, not just leafing out, and the freeze was to 22F. I don't know much about walnuts.

Thanks Scott, I'll keep a look out for those buds. This surprise freeze was 22 degrees too.
