forecast is for freezing rain/sleet over the weekend. unusual for us this early. cut the oldest orange harvest scape and brought in. leaving the other to see how it fares. also found a less developed stalk and i dunno what tis, so leaving it to fend for itself, too.

Cover them up and give them heat!

One little tip that I have learned is to make sure any "failed stalks" get removed before winter. I had several this last year ,and didn't remove them till early spring, when I cleaned the bed, and found a soft, rotten mess at the attachment point. It didn't appear to be the dreaded "soft rot", but it was a rotten mess. So even if you don't trim the leaves this year, be sure to get those stalks outta' there!...Arlyn

Will do, thanks.

Didn't freeze, still have hope I can see the unknown stalk open up.

Keeping my fingers crossed for ya Debra!!
