Never thought about it until the cold started hitting. We are in a valley like low area near County Line and Ewell. Not only are we in a cold pocket but after moving in I immediately planted over a dozen mango and other fruit trees to also find that even though our property is sloped, standing water is insane here. I fought standing water around the trees for a couple of years and finally hand dug close to 300 ft of trench to install perforated pipe which is helping to move the water away.
I am really hoping that this cold triggers some additional panicles and subsequent fruit.
