[1] An example of a frost resistant plant is Drimys winteri which is more frost-tolerant than naturally occurring conifers and vessel-bearing angiosperms such as the Nothofagus that can be found in its range in southern South ...
Visible frost damage develops after an accumulation of micro-cracks as a result of several freeze-thaw cycles. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Frost damage can be prevented by the use of frost-proof materials, i.e. , a material which has sufficient closed pores, by which the volume increase caused by the freezing of water in capillary pores can be absorbed by the ...
