Yeah, the windchill that morning was 26 when I looked at it 😳… it was super windy that day too!

That happens to me sometimes when I am reaching into the tree for pruning or harvesting. Jabos are very cold hardy overall, no damage even down to 28f for me. 26f, yes, you'll see some die back.

I will take a closer look at the branch when I get off work today. Didn’t even think to look at that. Thanks.

Yup, the wind chill and wind speed was no joke that day! I just thought the temperature itself mattered more but I’ll be more mindful of wind.
