Bougainvillea?

We live in the Pheonix area and have had a few nights with a hard frost. My plants look dead, will they come back?

Bougainvillea?
I'm a landscaper in Gilbert and I know what damage you are talking about. Nearly all of the damaged plants (including ficus and hibiscus) I have seen came back after the frosts. You should see some growth by now at the base of the plants. In extreme cases, this spring, I have trimmed the plant down to 1' from the ground. If the plant was healthy last fall, trim away the dead and it will be fine.
Reply:Your Bougainvillea will, but others such as Ficus probably won't.
