    Hi

    My Star Jasmine didn’t enjoy the cold weather. Is it saveable? Shall I trim it back? Or is it finished?

    Thank you

    Will

    @Will J
    Depends where you are in the country, how cold it got and how long for.
    I'd probably leave it for now and see what it does in spring' then if growth comes back tidy it up.
    Depending on spring it might not do much until May/June.
    Come March I might remove the definitely dead material, just to improve the look, but at the moment the damaged parts act as insulation for the possibly live stems.

      Thanks for taking the time to reply. I live in the south of England and it was the cold spell just before Xmas. It was consistently below freezing for about a week and probably got down to -8 celcius . I’ll wait and see what happens in the Spring. Thank you.
