When to cut back frozen parts of plants?
I have a huge hibiscus in my back yard and the top half of it froze a couple of weeks ago. Should I cut the frozen parts back now or wait until spring?

If your hibiscus is an evergreen then you can prune it in mid to late spring.
If your hibiscus is deciduous you need to prune it in late winter or early spring when the plant is still dormant.
Pruning it now can cause more damage as more frost can come and with an open cut, the healthy part of the plant will freeze easier.
I hope this helps.
Good luck and Great growing!

wait until spring, you could do damage to the plant if you do it now.
