Brown Plants That Shouldn't Be

| With the 12 degree night we had a while back, I have alot of plants that are brown right now that shouldn't be. Some of this has been discussed in other threads.
It sounds as though the palms, Barbados Cherry and Oleander should recover.
I'm also concerned about our African Iris, Bulbine and Bottlebrushes though. Will they also return? The little john's are brittle. I'm not hopeful at this point, but any words of wisdom would be appreciated. |

I don't know about the iris, but your bulbine should be fine, although the top growth may need to be cut off. They are basically a bulb plant and the energy stored in the bulb should let them start growing when it's a bit warmer.
The bottlebrushes are more cold sensitive, and only time will tell. If the roots are mulched well they may come back like the oleanders. |

| Well my california pepper tree he is completely brown, so is my Brazilian pepper tree. I wonder if they will recover. Anyone? |

| I wish I had covered the Star Jasmine. It's the old fashioned one that is more susceptable to freezing and it's brown to the ground. Oh well, it will come back. But maybe I should replace it. The newer Madison variety is more freeze tolerant and is what most nurseries offer now. |
