I live near West Palm Beach even tho you list my region as Central FL. When is it safe to trim cold damaged plants here in this area?

0	I'd wait until the first week of March to prune back any winter damage. By then you will see new growth and you'll know how far back to cut. Cut just in front of the new growth to remove the dead plant material. Good luck with your garden!
