I have caecelpinia, Norfolk Island pine, Mexican oleander, jacaranda, wild olive, giant Bird of paradise, Avocado, mango etc Trees they all look like they are dead or dying. Sagos from growing point coming back, avocado coming back half way up tree, giant bird trying to come back from ground also bananas back up almost 2’ .. lost plumerias left outside, green house was full, most desert rose, plumerias And other tropicals ok. Lost dragon fruit but cuttings I took ok. Tropical gingers in ground Trying to come back. Still Have plenty plumerias and desert rose, Buddha belly etc to sell .. took big hit but not is all lost.. I guess for most it is just waiting to see what’s going to come back. Biggest concern is jacaranda and Norfolk Island , also caecelpinia and Mexican oleander they all are 20 to 40 feet Tall and have been ground about 20 years. Thanks for all of your advice it is really appreciated.. thanks for any comments

Forgot to mention bottle brush trees 10’ to20’ tall looks bad. Any info on those , will they come back from ground, not sure about those. All palms like robalini more than likely are dead. Grass coming back good.. mow twice fertilize..Thanks again

Ron, I am expecting big bottlebrush trees to come back from the roots, but haven’t seen that happening yet. Still hoping. Lots of lost plants, but things will look much better by the end of summer.
