Frost Bit Coastal Bermuda

[Nowland Farms]

My Costal Bermuda pasture has gotten frost bitten the last 2 nights and is burnt back pretty well. All tender grass has wilted and turned brown. I can't remember ever getting frost after the costal bermuda has started growing.

My question is - How much damage did the frost do to my bermuda? Will it sprout back in a week or two since the temperatures are going back into the 70s/80s by the end of the week? Any chance that the bermuda has been killed?

Background info, It has been so warm here the last 5 weeks that the bermuda started to grow. I fertlized 2 weeks ago, have had about 1.5" of rain in since I fertlized.

It's not dead. The only way to kill coastal is to freeze out it's roots. Give it some warm weather and it will produce some new growth.

It's no different that ryegrass getting burned by a freeze.

BTW, I have some coastal here that is already about 4" tall. We had a light freeze last night.
