Frostburn

Precise groves set out on the hills west of Pomona (RIGHT) proved less vulnerable to frostburn than those on the flat, where the main protection was the towering eucalyptus windbreak and the sooty smudgepots.

Freezing temperatures the last week of January, throughout much of the southeastern and Dade County areas, resulted in considerable frostburn but only a minimal amount of lost acreage.

Late frostburn can be cut off and the plant will recover.

Non-winter-dormant lucerne varieties, introduced by the project (Sundar is the main variety) , have been very successful. In some cases they may suffer some frostburn but they produce throughout the year and yield more than double the yield of the landrace in the lower areas (the lower lands are in the majority)

Yet another hazard of LPG, particularly of propane, is that of frostburn, should the liquid come into contact with the skin.

The resulting instant frostburn is incredibly painful, not to mention dangerous.

I know you've been outside, if that's what you're getting at. I saw your clothes; I saw the frostburn on your face and hands.

Frostburns across the ridge of my nose, where the metal rim of my glasses pulled away the skin on a thirty-below night, always reminded me of how easy it was to keep warm on those nights by skiing with no haste.
