Sunburn

[steve99]

 

We've had some HOT days here in South East Qld this summer.  A few week ago the temp nudged  37-38C (100F) around here with some places nearby even more, a lot more.  And as it turned some of my palms were badly sunburn.      Here's some pics of the worst effected.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      My little Burretiokentia vieillardii  got fried.

My Burretiokentia Hapala was also sizzled

And several of my Dypsis Pembanas were scorched - mostly on the older leaves.

My hapala always looks better in winter in my Florida yard. My tree declines in the hot summer and bounces back in the winter when it cools off a bit.

A lot of mine are burnt too. I think we had hotter days than you did up there and not much rain either. Happy we had some good rain last night though.

It's interesting to see established palms burn in the heat. Last summer my Ravenea rivularis burned in the same fashion as the palm in your first pic, in the same 100°F heat.
