List of plants that look like they didn't make it

1. Indian Hawthorns--look hopelessly gone all over town

2. Mock Orange/Pittosporum--look worse

3. Texas Mountain Laurel--some signs of life, but need the defibrillator on some of them

4. Neighbor's palm trees--some signs of life, but they look out of place in North Central Texas most of the time anyway.

5. Oleander--encouraging shoots from the roots.

Some plants, I've been pleasantly surprised how good they look right now
1--Vitex-- Root system must be impressive on these--they look hardly fazed at all for a subtropical plant
2-Roses-look better this year than last.

Desert Willows look bad
Bay Tree might come back from the ground
Crepe Myrtles look bad in some areas.
Sage bushes slowly recovering
Neighbors pine trees are about 50/50

Hawthorns are smoked all over town. A lot of Rosemary plants look to be toast. Everyone has been digging them up this week. I don't think I lost anything. I thought I lost my plumbagos and Loropetalum but both showed signs of life this week. Even my Esperanza's came back. I was not expecting that.

Chinese fringe flowers. I lost all 5 of mine.

Lorapataliums are showing minor signs of new growth. Indian hawthorns as well. One red tip gone, the other 4 are fine, maybe not cold related. Last live oak showing signs of coming back.

The annuals we have in some of the flower beds have come on real strong, they look healthy as do the Mexican sages

I pulled up a big hawthorne I had. It had some green at the base but I chunked it. Lost a huge rosemary bush but my fig tree and blackberry bushes are coming out nicely. Crepe myrtle made it.

All four mature Wax-Leaf Ligustrum's are dead.
Hawthornes gone.
Pittosporums are toast!
Plumbago up and strong to very strong.

Hemp

Rosemary bushes are coming back. Very surprised to see the Texas sage bushes returning--those are some hardy plants.

I am on Cedar Creek

I have a Pittosporum that I think is gone was green after the melt but has browned and lost leaves progressively since.
Have a bunch loropetalums that look really grim but I am starting to see new growth especially from the base.
I probably had 20 dwarf gardenias and looks like I have lost about half.... I am in a wait and see on these.
Had some damage to about half of my camelias... but I think they will come back.

I am most shocked about the damage to the loblolly pines... lots of those seem to be gone... I don't have any but my neighbor does and she lost a big one.
Drove past the arboretum in Athens yesterday and there are several at the entrance that look to be toast..

I just bush hogged a big bottlebrush and a gardenia that were toast. Some of my gardenias survived though.

Yellow Senna tree

Lorapetullums look real dead except for one has some new leaf growth. Pittosporums coming back. Azaleas good. Camelia slowly reviving. Those lorapetallums are fickle anway. If they die, im good

90% native at the house. All made it except for some spineless cactus.

Sure wish the prickly pear didn't! Cedar trees and prickly pear are doing fine

All the nuclear ones.

Oaks are leafed out . Pecans are working on it.
Azaleas seem to be recovering but didn't get any blooms (other than the Encores) .
Freakin' dewberries look better than last year .
Iris and daylilies doing fine .
Fruit trees (peach and pear) looking good .
Neighbor's Pampas grass still not showing any green although there are some recovering in the neighborhood .
Redbuds flowered .

Our big crepe myrtles are old and look toast, we had a late freeze several years ago that hit several hard and they've just never come back strong. I think this did them in. Looks like that all over town, although yesterday I did see an old man looking at some in his yard that looked like they might've had several buds getting ready to bloom.

My 3 giant hawthorns bit the dust. I'm going to have to buy 6-9 to fill their spot.

If I do have to replace some of the Hawthorns, I might choose something else.
They are the red tipped photinia of smaller shrubs--disease prone and sort of meh.

Big spineless cacti and our lemon grass.

My grands planted the crepe myrtles here ~ 40 years ago and they seem to be doing fine . Silver Maples (poplars) and honeysuckle are good .

Lost our Hawthorn and happy to see it go. Also a large ornamental orange which has thorns rivaling a mesquite tree, Not looking forward to dealing with it.

We had 10 Gardenias all of them died.

Wonder how Lowe’s is doing on their dead plant replacement policy. Think it was good for a year, bet they have bought a lot of dead shrubs from the Ice Storm.

Our Pittisporum's didn't make it.
