The 89 freeze came in December and could not have caused the dead trees you saw.

You are correct .The big freeze was Dec.24 1989. It must have been August 90 that I drove through the area. There was also a devasting freeze on Dec.26 1983.

El Oasis - beach garden, distinct wet/dry season ,year round 20-38c

Las Heliconias - jungle garden ,800m elevation,150+ inches rainfall, year round 15-28c

Well there’s you go, Valley winters can be quite warm. In between our cold fronts, which we mostly bounce back from fairly quickly, temperatures easily bounce into the 70s-80s with a couple 90 degree days.
