These are all pictures from this weekend. Everything went through 13F last winter and then Ice-a-geddon in February. We even had Jim Cantore in town, so you know it was bad.

Sabal uresana with Cycas taitungensis (l) and C. taitun x C. revoluta (right)

Washingtonia filibusta (small) and W. robusta (trunk only). There is a little B. armata in the background. It is about 7' tall.

S. causiarum x S. palmetto (l) and S. palmetto ® That's a clump of 3 male and one female C. taitun. x C. revoluta

For scale, the cycad clump is about 6' tall.

JLeVert- Amazing.. if I could grow Sabal with ease I would. Did they show much damage from 13f?

How much rain does Augusta receive yearly?

Augusta gets about 43" of rain a year with dry spells in April/May and October/November. There was no real damage on any of the Sabals except for leaf burn on the causiarums and S. maritima. Maritima is not going to be a good palm for Augusta. It burns around 22F, but puts out new foliage every summer. More zone 8b or 9 for the long run. When we get cold, it is usually preceded by lots of rain as the Arctic Front moves through. That presents problems as well. Phoenix doesn't like wet cold at all. It doesn't seem to bother most of the Sabals.
