Charlotte, I cross my fingers, that they will be okay and they should. Leaves might be frosted off, but the rest should be intact. In a matter of pure survival, the hardwood can take more cold, than we imagine.

I had severe frost damage in 2002. We were surprised by 23 F. I had been delayed in finishing the conservatory and had them in the garage and outside. I lost real many, but real many only lost leaves and green stems. Several was also literally cut back to the ground to prevent frosted stems to distribute fungus to the basal part and root system.
