Hi all. Have a lot of damaged epies due to the freeze we had recently and it's cleanup time. Some of them are mush and a total loss, but others still look green at the base and I wondered if they are salvageable? Any special treatment I should give them? Do I prune and if so, how much?
Thanks for any tips,
Kathleen
What do I do with frozen epies?
I'm certainly not an expert but I think I would wait a long time before I would prune since epis always surprise me with new sprouts on dead looking growth. Prolly won't look pretty in the process but eventually it will be clear what is truly dead. Not sure about any treatment.
Not look pretty? Ugh, you should see them. I don't care! Guess I'll just leave them all until I'm sure they are goners. Such a shame, because I was expecting blooms this year. One good thing - I shared an oxy cutting with a friend and she's going to return the favor!
Thanks boojum.
Welcome. Hope some other folks chime in who have had this experience.
