The droopy large leaves of my metre-high umbrella tree were no match for Mr Frost.
Checking the Internet I now learn that umbrella trees are not frost resistant!
Ok but what I can't understand is why mine took a beating and yet the things grow all around me ! Next street, next suburb etc (South Coast NSW)!
Admittedly they are bigger trees but I wouldn't have thought it would make a difference.
Any info and... and does it seem like my baby will die? I need some hope here (missus is squawking " told ya so, told ya so" (which she didn't but she thinks she did). I've built a roof for it but I'm worried I may be too late!
