Norfolk Island pine
Last year around Christmas, I bought a small Norfolk Island pine in a
pot. After the holidays, I moved it to the deck, where it's been fine until this recent cold snap. Now it looks seriously frostbitten. I would have thought an evergreen to be cold hardy. I brought it inside, but what's the deal? |
