Re: Arisaema Cold Period

From: dmartin at cdmas.crc.fmlh.edu (Don Martinson) on 1997.04.14 at 22:29:32(616) As we're talking about a cold period for arisaemas. I've a bit of a problem. I was storing some first year A. dracontium tubers in my office refrigerator, when the temperature control malfunctioned and the temperature dipped to below freezing. I'm guessing it may have gotten down to 25F or so - the tubers were hard to the touch. I thawed them out, but although the tubers are now downright mushy, they are definitely a bit softer to the touch. Did I kill them? Had they been planted in the ground out doors here, they certainly work have frozen, as our frost depth is generally a foot or so. Don Martinson +More dmartin@cdmas.crc.fmlh.edu
