We had a freak late frost last month and it damaged new leaves. One tree, a lace-leaf Japanese maple looks like as it dopes in winter--no leaves except for the frost-bitten brown leaves. Another tree (native) is a hackberry and it dropped all its leaves but currently it is flowering without any green leaves--very strange. The dogwood tree blossoms froze and these did not bloom this year. Will these trees eventually leave out? We are currently in a drought situation and I have been watering the Japanese maple tree. Will these trees recover? We are now having upper 80-degree weather. E.TN
