[APWG] Easter freeze

[ForestRuss at aol.com]

APWG:
 
In early April the Microstegium in central West Virginia was emerging and  
was about 1/4" tall when the big freeze hit.  We had several  consecutive days 
of night time temperatures in the low 20's or  colder.  It now appears that a 
majority of the first  germination Japanese stiltgrass is dead in much of the 
region and  what did not get killed was severely damaged by the very cold  
temperatures.
 
It will be interesting to see how thick the second germination will be when  
the weather warms.
