The now defunct genus Calibanus was first formally described in 1906 by Joseph Nelson Rose, [5] with Calibanus including two species. More recent research using molecular (phylogenetic) and morphological findings demonstrated that both former Calibanus species were closely related to Beaucarnea species, leading to both former Calibanus species being transferred to the genus Beaucarnea.
These numbers then get higher, with damage being more likely the further along the buds are. Full bloom on apples (their final bud stage) will have a 10% fruit loss at 28 degrees and a 90% fruit ...

A cryoprotectant is a substance used to protect biological tissue from freezing damage (i.e. that due to ice formation). Arctic and Antarctic insects, fish and amphibians create cryoprotectants (antifreeze compounds and antifreeze proteins) in their bodies to minimize freezing damage during cold winter periods. Cryoprotectants are also used to ...
In order to prevent water pipes from freezing, nurseries and farms ran sprinklers all night. However, some water began flowing onto roadways, and with freezing temperatures, caused ice to form on roads in western Dade County. [2] Overall, the cold wave caused up to $2 billion (1977 USD) in damage. [7]
