While I was away on vacation my trees got hit with a frost. I didn’t expect it and didn’t have an internet connection while I was away but it is my fault regardless. Is there anything I can do to save these trees? Or at minimum increase the likelihood of survival?  
I am attaching a few photos for reference.

hi @wtoth,  
You are not the only one. I have a Deshojo that is looking very sad. I’v put mine on the ground in shade to see if it has enough in its reserve for a second flush. To be honest, your tree looks more like a lack of water than frost damage? Obviously keep it out of any more cold events and mist the leaves.
