Abstract
Observations of frost damage after a severe frost showed that native plants of a northern provenance (usually with low freezing resistance, i.e., > -3°C) were often extensively damaged unless growing in sheltered sites, whilst no plant with a recorded freezing resistance of < -5°C was damaged irrespective of origin.Keywords
