From Michigan State University Extension:
The winter of 2014 was excessively cold, and air temperatures in West Michigan were below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for long stretches of time and dropped below -10 F 10 times. Michigan State University Extension educators visited nursery growers in Ottawa County to assess the damage in late May as winter-related damage continued to become evident in commercial nurseries. Twenty-three species of evergreen or deciduous trees and shrubs were reported to have winter or frost damage. Much of the damage observed on nursery stock was in polyhouses over the winter.
