My biggest concern is a 20 ft Magnolia tree. Most everything else I can have back and looking good in 3 years. Even if I have to start from scratch. I always think it takes 3 years after I plant something to have it preform as it was intended.
I'm guessing the only TOTAL loss with the flowers will be the Trumpet Lilies. They are soft and spongy. There were around 30 or so of them, scattered around the Acre in raised beds (out in the open) or in Foundation Plantings around the House or the 2 sides of the big warehouses. Most other flowers will probably be set back, but if I prune off the bad stuff I'm hoping they will come back.
Perhaps I'll ask the Coopster about administering generous portions of Epsom Salts to encourage foliage growth.
Lilies can be replaced in a year. It's that tree I prayed over this afternoon. I will be crushed if it goes the trip. It is absolutely stunning the 10 days each spring when it's in bloom.
Well, some may think it silly, but I will be praying over your tree.
