Frost Damage
It is important to keep in mind what frost is actually doing to the plant itself. A freezing event is actually a dehydration event. When temperatures decline, ice crystals can form in the water between the plant cells. This leads to a decrease in turgor pressure and proper vascular functioning. The plant begins to dry itself out and ceases to respire as it normally would. It is also important to understand that certain bacteria can play an active role in the formation of ice crystals within the plant.
