Default creepers

I have had this climber for almost 3 years and untill recently, has
been doing really well. Alas it produced hundreds of leaves last
weekend and we had 2 - 3 nights where the temperature dropped to 3 or
4 degrees. I am not sure whether i have a maliscious neighbour handy
with some kind of poison or a fox that regularly relieves itself in
my garden. The creepers leaves have shriveled up with 1 or 2
exceptions where new growth is sprouting through. Will it survive now
the frosts appear to be gone or should i be searching elsewhere.


Since we have no idea what the blessed plant is we have no way to determine
how frost tender it might be. Since we have no idea what your neighbour is
like or any evidence of their malign intent we cannot say if they are
responsible. Since we don't know where you are we cannot guess if the frost
will return or when. The fox is probably innocent unless there is a whole
tribe of mutants with giant bladders who only pee on your climber.
