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

Some cover, others do not. I would cover vegetable plants, but not
landscaping plants. I have a lace-leaf maple that got frostibit last
year, the plant looked sad for some months but it bounced back this
year.
