Default Frost on leaves

Currently in Pittsburgh we are having temperatures in the high
eighties. The leaves on the trees appear to be coming out early. We do
normally have frost until around the middle of May. If we should have
a frost, would the frost affect the leaves as well as the flowers on
the trees. I have a small bush that is just coming into its own.
Should I cover it if there is a frost, or would the leaves grow back?

Thanks

Tom


Every year our Magnolias bloom. Sometimes they get burned. I found
the early bloomer should not be protected. South side of house gives
false pretense of winter gone. Then they fend for themselves still
celebrating even if short lived reminds me better to burn out then ...

Bill who never covers nothing but may cover rosemary next fall. Never
is a long time and Rosemary and potatoes yum.
