LETTER FROM A COLLECTOR OF ALOES:
01/22/07 Howdy all, I live in Chandler Heights, suburb of Phoenix.
It got down to 14 degrees at my house, I had my aloes covered as much
as possible, but of course at that temperature, it doesn't matter much.
Here's a list of most of my aloes and what kind of damage they had (a
week after the hard freeze):
Aculeata - no damage
Africana - tips burned
Alloides - will make it, but badly burned
Aristata - no damage
Barbadensis - some damage, will survive
Brevifolia - no damage
Broomii - no damage, flower spike is mush
California - a lot of damage, but will survive
Cameronii - a lot of damage, probably won't make it
Ciliaris - some damage, will make it (surprised at that one, thought
it'd be totally gone)
Claviflora - no damage
Deltoideodonta - brought in the house, so it's ok
Dichotoma - 5 foot tall, some burning on tips
Dorothea - a lot of damage, will survive
Excelsa - tips burned
Ferox - no damage

Reitzii - no damage
Reynoldsii - tips burned
Rubroviolacea - tips burned, flower spike is mush
Speciosa - brought in the house
Striata - tips burned

Tororoana - a lot of damage, but will survive
Vacillans - no damage
Vanbalenii - a lot of damage, I HOPE this one survives
