It has been bitter cold here as well. Sorry you had to go without power...More than likely your Brugs have just frozen above the soil line and will come back.. don't give up on them they are tougher than you think.. I didn't take many cuttings this yr.. If I have extras you are sure welcome to them tho..

Def don't give up, those babies may pop up from the roots once you get them out when the weather warms up.
If not, I'm sure some of us can help you out. But don't throw anything out just yet!

Not as cold here, but did lose all of the foliage on mine, but there is new growth slowly coming from the main stems.
I lost my MBJ and I think my seagrape and a hurricane palm:( KNow how you feel. We'll be more than happy to help out when you're out of the cold.
