The damage may not be visible yet, but late December’s deep freeze wreaked havoc with plants, shrubs and trees across Georgia. Don’t panic yet. Until new growth begins this spring, you won’t know the impact of sustained sub-freezing temperatures. Early signs include dry, curled and brown foliage, extreme leaf drop or defoliation, and cracks in stems and branches. But the reality won’t be clear for at least several months. Don't panic ...
