Do your shrubs look like this?

Have you stepped outside in the morning and seen your evergreen shrubs, or any other plants in your garden, looking wilted and forlorn? Fret not, when the mercury drops to around the 0 degree mark, moisture in leaves of plants freezes. It is not normally fatal
on hardy plant material. If you were to go back outside in the afternoon, as the daytime temps have increased, you will notice the leaves have perked back up. These plants are simply curling their leaves inward to ward off the cold.
