Dealing with Winter Freeze Damage in Your Landscaping Plants: Skip Laurels and Beyond
This past winter, Middle Tennessee experienced a historic freeze that caused significant damage to many landscaping plants, including skip laurels. As temperatures dropped to record lows, many plants were unable to survive the extreme conditions. The result has been a dramatic loss of greenery in many outdoor spaces, leaving homeowners wondering what to do next.
