1. Don't tell other people what they can grow.;)

 

Dont fertilize smaller palms with MG or any of

the chemical fertilizers,it lowers their cold resistance

and creates imbalances that leaves them open to insect infestations.

Don't plant palms in the yard were the dogs run entless you set up a little fence around them until they get bigger.

I hear you! Just last week, I was out in the yard and heard a sharp SNAP! My husky ran over my encephalartos arenarius seedling and snapped it at the base of the caudex...

Yes actually it is, learned or learnt is equally acceptable in Australia, and I suspect there too,

so much that it is not corrected by my US language spellcheck.

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.

Your zone is where plants stay alive.  Not your zone is where you freeze your tush off building contraptions to keep them alive until 1 of 4 things happens.  1) You accidentally fry them or 2) the contraption fails and they freeze to death or 3) they grow to their death, aka too big to protect, or 4) you just get tired of all of that poop and stop.  I've had 1 and 2, but never got to 3 because I got to 4 first.   All said with humor and some truth of course.

If you are planting a mix of plant material -- not just palms -- in, say, a reforestation project, remember that mature palms drop sometimes heavy fronds that can crush smaller vegetation that may not grow as fast as the palms.  If you live in East HI, watch out for Archontophoenix alexandrae incursions.

In keeping with ClinoDave's comments, Royals (and other large palms) can do as noted below.

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

Yeah, same looked as if it could happen here. Weather forecact has failed three or four times so far , last time with only a time span of three hours until predicted blizard. Without any hyperbole over Attica takes place an epic struggle between cold blast from Sibiria and warm, moist air from southern Mediterranean!
