QuestionsHow to growTrees and ShrubsFrost damageProtect escalonia hedge 0 Vote Up Vote Down Kevin McGlone asked 14 years ago My 8 year old 60m Escalonia hedge was badly affected by frost last year.

Is there anything I can do to protect it this year, besides praying? 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 7 years ago The weather is unlikely to be as bad but there is nothing practical that can be done.
