Lychee (brown leaves attached) and guava (leaves dropped) after 4-day freeze: scratch bark for green. Wait 1 month for new growth, then prune dead wood.
Papayas are extremely cold-sensitive. Soft trunks = dead. Hard trunks may survive but rarely fruit well after freeze. Not worth saving in Houston.
Bed sheets provide minimal protection. For tropicals, need heat source + cover. Papayas just can't take 20s.
