I have two of these seedlings planted in the yard- one with minimal protection and one under shade cloth (but still minimal protection).  Neither showing any damage to 27F freeze for 5 hours+

Two 5 - 10 gallon sized plants up against the house are showing no damage after approximately 24 hrs below freezing with an ultimate low of 20F.   These were recently planted (less than 1 year). Nearby Allagoptera areanaria is showing slight damage to fronds.

Keep an eye on them and let us know if further damage occurs later.

Same two plants mentioned in 1/17/2010 note experienced an ultimate low of 17F with 36 hours below freezing within the next 3 week period.  Both plants were protected with a plastic bucket.  Both palms experience significant dieback. All fronds were fried.  However, within 2 months both were showing new growth and are now growing well. Will probably take 2 years to replace all of the lost fronds.

Both plants intitally started growing new fronds, but a month after the above statement one stopped growing and croaked.  The other palm is still alive and growing slowly this winter. A night time low of 25F has been experienced so far this winter.  No apparent damage to the Lytocaryum is evident.

Fully recovered, like nothing ever happened.

Would you then put it on par with a queen?

Both of my Uruguay queens survived & recovered from the same freeze. I have another unknown syagrus that was barely damaged at all in the freeze.

Regular queens have never survived these temps here...

Hi Todd,

 

Where was your source of your Uruguayan queen, I know there was on in St Mary's Georgia (at Tom's), but again to get one of these would be cool.  People claim "literalis" or "silver queens" are the all one and the same, appreciate your thoughts.
