Mango Freeze Damage

[toadshade]

I am in Atlanta Georgia USA and we had a lower than normal freeze for our area.  A perfect storm of issues caused a power outage and my greenhouse went below freezing for about 4 hours in the middle of the night.  I lost a lot of plants but I wanted to see if anyone could tell me if my Mango could recover.  At first I thought it could be OK but a few days after the freeze I see the leaves turning yellow and brown.  Can the tree itself take any type of small freeze for a few hours or is it too sensitive?  It would be nice to know it could leaf back out.  I am going to wait for Spring to see but it would be nice to have some hope.

Post some pics. I think I will post some of my orange trees int he citrus forum. I was lazy once again  . I won't let it happen next year

You can see the leaves are lost.  I am just hoping the whole tree was not taken out.
 Wouldn't be surprised.  I would actually be more shocked if it came back.

You can scrape the bark and see if its green.
It may come back above the graft line or the rootstock may also push.
Don't overwater when it doesn't have leaves.
It's a waiting game for now

Doesn't look terrible so far, I think it will be fine.

That’s a pretty tiny tree, would monitor it closely and not over water it for the next few weeks.

You can scrape for green or just wiggle the branches every now and then. Live tissue should be supple and flexible. Dead tissue becomes brittle (my experience).

If it had a trunk caliper of a few inches I would feel better saying it should be fine.

Right.  It is just a baby.  So far it is looking OK.  Branches do not seem to be dead.  I guess time will tell.
