Cooler temperatures have finally arrived in Arizona. The weather forecast for the next few months includes some very cool nights; which might include frost. Your landscaping is a critical home investment and it is important you take steps to protect it. Tropical plant varieties that are not used to cold weather are the most likely to be damaged and need protection. Trees that are susceptible include pygmy date palms and young citrus. Plants and shrub material like Bougainvillea, Hibiscus, Natal Plum, Cape Honeysuckle and the Red Bird of Paradise need extra care. Also, if your plants are new or actively growing they probably need frost-protection too.
