Frost cut them down in an instant. Nature cannot withstand such 

 onslaught, and many roots did not survive the blow. 



Let us hope that such a season will not be repeated this year; 

 but if it should so happen, let us try by artificial means to save this 

 precious crown. It is my intention to use the wax treatment once 

 more and shall be interested to try other means which may also be 

 suggested.
