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