I came home from work and my hibiscus was whacked down to the ground. This plant was about 4.5 feet (what you are seeing in the picture is about 12-14in). It was all dead from frost but I was just going to leave it until the frosts ended. It's still kind of cold at night and frost is still a risk do you think this will cause more stain on an already stressed plant! You can see the evidence to the right of the plant.

Sorry for the 'whack job'.

Thanks for the reassurance Duckwatcher - Northern California, Zone "9b"   Duckwatcher  Posted on Saturday, April 07, 2007 - 09:50 pm EST :    The hibiscus has passed on :( , when I dug her up to replace her with another plant the roots looked horrible.
