Q.We’ve Had A Very Cold And Frosty Snap And All The Leaves Have Dropped From My Pittosporum. Bushes Leaving Them Complet

Zone Kent UK | Moomootree added on January 10, 2023 | Answered

The branches are all completely bare. Will they recover in the spring or have they been killed by the frost?

They can tolerate a freeze, as long as the branches have some bend to them, still. If they end up dying off, where the branches snap when bent, then it is too late. Keep a watchful eye, and if the branches turn brittle, then it is time to replace.
