Earlier this month the UNCE Orchard in North Las Vegas (located near the intersection of North Decatur and Horse Drive) posted some very low freezing temperatures.  Winter tender plants will be killed to the ground at these temperatures. In particular bougainvillea and any tender vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, squash, basil, etc). Tender citrus will be damaged or outright killed to the soil level. Hardy citrus that will handle these temperatures include Meyer lemon and some grapefruit. Expect to see some bronzing of the leaves of palms and citrus.
