Abstract Observations of frost damage after a severe frost showed that native plants of a northern provenance (usually with low freezing resistance, i.e., > ó3ƒC) were often extensively damaged unless growing in sheltered sites, whilst no plant with a recorded freezing resistance of < ó 5ƒC was dam- aged irrespective of origin.
