Every year in the winter months of December to March at ECHO Florida, we enter the potential for frost and freeze events. While our sub-tropical climate allows us to grow most tropical plants, a frost or freeze event could mean serious impacts for future yields or even the survival of more sensitive plants. Thankfully there are several strategies we employ to help protect the farm on those cold nights.  

This collection provides information on various strategies for protecting crops from frost or freeze damage.

  6. With the approach of a dangerous cold spell there are a few pointers that everyone should keep in mind.
  7. Winter temperatures in Florida can get low enough to damage tropical, subtropical, and even sometimes temperate plants, especially if they're not acclimated to lower temperatures. Plants become acclimated by gradual decreases in temperature over a period of time. Sudden freezes after a period of...
  8. In a "normal" winter most South Florida landscape plants, when placed correctly, do just fine. A few may lose some leaves, but flush out again in spring. But some winters are harsher than others. No matter how diligent you are about cold protection, you may lose some plants to winter weather. And...
