We recently had a freeze about 20 - 30 degrees and it looks like my yellow Allamanda vine has died. we pruned it back to nothing but I do not see any green on the vines. it lost all of its leaves but has done that in the cold in the past. should I see green in the vines and will it come back after freezing?

Allamanda Vine
by: Kimberly

Hi Robin, Kimberly here from landscape-solutions-for-you. Thank you for asking the question on your Allamanda vine. The Allamanda is such a beautiful plant. It is also very frost sensitive. If your Allamanda plant is established there should be new growth in the spring. Even though you did prune the Allamanda, if the roots are established, I do think you have a good chance of seeing new growth when the night time temperatures stay warm consistantly. One tip for you for the future, with the Allamanda cover if to protect it from a frost or freeze. Also, I usually don't recommend pruning after a frost or freeze as it can damage the plant. I hope this information helps.

By the way, my husband and I were in Fort Myers the week of the hard frost and freeze. I watched differet specimens throughout the week. Living in South Carolina we do get freeze and frost, but I emphasize with you and all the people of Florida.

Thank you again for asking the quesion here at landscape solutions for you. Feel free to ask anytime. Have a great evening.
Kimberly
