Default Autumn Olive freeze/kill?

Three large Autumn Olive bushes (Central Ohio) bloomed and then froze,
which I'd expect would prevent any fruit from forming.

Instead it seems so far to have prevented any but a very few isolated
leaves from sprouting, in addition. It looks like a bare year, at
least.

Is there some mechanism that kills the whole plant in a freeze?

Like is it using water as sap, or something?
