Frost damage is caused by exposure to freezing temperatures. When the temperature drops below freezing, the water in plants, crops, and other materials freezes and expands, causing the cells to rupture and lead to physical damage.
1. Look Skyward. Clear, calm skies and falling afternoon temperatures are usually the perfect conditions for frost. Frost (also called white or hoarfrost) occurs when air temperatures dip below 32°F and ice crystals form on the plant leaves, injuring and sometimes killing tender plants.
Sep 8, 2022 · Actual occurrence of frost is determined by location and landscape factors as well as climate.
