Q.Cutting Back Bird of Paradise
I have a bird of paradise plant that just went through aboutĀ four nights of mid 20 temperatures. How much should I cut it back after this hard freeze? It is planted in the ground.

I would hold off trimming it until spring comes. These articles will help with how to care for it and prune it:
