So, as most of you know, the northeast has had ridiculously cold weather the past couple of weeks. Ithaca, NY, where I am, has been hoving around the zero to 10 below (Fahrenheit, about -18 to 23 C) - range the past two weeks. Wind chill factors have been much higher.

I generally keep my trees on a south facing balcony. temperatures have been hovering around the 20s at the lowest according to my trusty min-max thermometer. However, with the frigid temperatures I became somewhat worried and brought my trees inside. I thought it was going to be brief. A day or two - not a big deal at all.

Well, it stretch on and on. Now temps are back up again, and most everything looks just like it did before I brought stuff in.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for everything. I'm not exactly sure what happened - all the other trees are safely dormant. My prized (but nowhere near finished) cork bark elm is not.

It will be fine, I expect. I'm going to keep it inside under an HID light... but... whoops.
