[QUOTE="PickettSFHunter, post: 2791387, member: 2171"] Tip die back, which isnt that bad. Semi woodys in the landscape and of course the woods too, is where you have problems. You can find "split areas" from that freeze event, much like cicida damage. Theres tons of Cicida damage evident now as well from last years big hatch. Thankfully we have a different cycle on the mountain but Cookeville got quite a bit of damage.The split areas make the plant more susceptible to pests with the exposed wood. Borers especially hone in on it and slowly slowly bore the heartwood out, making the plant weaker over time. This type of damage is much like say compaction damage where heavy equipment operates to closely to one side of a tree. The compaction can begin root rot on that side of the tree but you dont notice a problem unless you watch the top of the tree closely. Then one day 10 years down the road, a big wind comes and the tree blows over. Everybody comments on what a strong wind it must have been, but in reality the roots were just rotted on one side so it blew over opposite of that rot. Damage like freeze, compaction, mechanical( like weedeater, mower) just take a long time to fully realize. [/QUOTE]
