Everyone knows that escallonia hedges get badly frostbitten.  I mean everybody.  Every book you read says that Escallonia are rather tender plants. Every list of plants that “only grow in the south-west” (it used to be “in the Scillies”) contains Escallonia.  I even read an article in a reputable gardening magazine that suggested you cover your escallonia with horticultural fleece. So you would think that the recent freeze would have made your escallonia red raw with cold.
