January and February are the coldest months in Florida, and plants can be damaged by low temperatures. But with your help, cold-damaged plants can often recover.

“Will cold damage my fruit trees or bushes? Cold temperatures the last few days (and still in the forecast) might have you worried about blueberry bushes or fruit trees. Whether or not buds sustain freeze damage depends on the fruit stage of development.

As bud swell progresses, cold tolerance decreases. Early swollen buds can often withstand temperatures in the teens (degrees Fahrenheit) without any damage. As buds develop and begin to open, temperatures in the low 20s can cause harm to fruit buds and developing leaves.

Use the photographic guides linked below to assess what state of development your buds are in and what temperatures you should be worried about!

**Of course, a number of factors contribute to whether or not plants will be damaged. Cultivar, climate, and may other factors cannot be accounted for in guides like these, so please use these to guide decision making and use your judgement.
