Jaboticaba - Cold damage?

Is this cold damage on the new growth? We got down to about 34 briefly and then 39 the next morning for a few hours..

Most likely. I'm guessing some cold wind was blowing around on it. Same thing happened to my Achacha's new growth

Looks to me like the branch may have been broken at the base. 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 had cold damage on several of my jabos from that recent cold snap, which was a surprise since the low temp here was 34 but mid-20's with the wind chill.

Ahh.. thanks for the responses everyone. I suspected it was probably cold damage plus I watered right before the cold like a fool lol

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

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.
