Pretty pic of it & the scene behind the pine. Didn’t you get more than that dusting of snow out your way in this last weather event?

Nope, it all melted and stopped after this pic.

Hope it wasn't out there long. Below 40F, they can experience cold damage.

I’ve seen them in Florida experience no damage at 25. I’m sure it’s fine

Funny how every source you read states to keep at temps above 35F. Some even state not to allow any extended exposure below 50F.

But I guess they don't know what they are talking about......

It is still alive lol. No need to be passive aggressive about it. Again, this tree can survive some frost, just not that much. It has exhibited cold hardiness in frosts before.

Cold damage is not always immediately obvious. And if it was that resilient to freezing temps, one would think the authorities would note that. Enough has been written about it.

Seems a shame to risk a nice little tree......for what?

Cold damage manifests itself in the weeks and months after a freeze. I wouldn't risk it. Especially not in a container - why wouldn't you make an effort to move it under cover. Last year, I lost ALL my agapanthus, salvias, scented pelargoniums and citrus after a perfectly normal UK winter (but had got lazy and complacent) so I guess I am a bit more circumspect now...although I do get it that you are keen to push the zone envelope.

There wasn’t even a freeze during this picture. We just got a dusting of snow come in.

Concur with GG and rosa. I just don't understand the point of tormenting plants.

tree time is counted in decades ,.. this is a truly huge tree in its native range ...

damage on evergreen conifers can take months to 'show' ...

i suspect you will see significant damage when the heat of summer hits.. especially if you do not move it to full bright shade with summer sun ...

with the cold temps.. the damaged tissue will not brown.. until the heat hits...

i hope im wrong... let me know... would be very happy for you.. if i was.. were??

Deer already ate my Norfolk, my A. araucana in the ground is fine, along with the A. bidwillii. OP said nothing about freezing temps, only snow. We have had snow here in the upper 40's. This species will be fine untiess temps remain below 40 for an extended time.
