Just noticed spotting on Pimo again. Either pimo is super tropical, or my plants are not Brahea pimo. We haven't been below 40F.

My reaction exactly as I walked past it this morning :floor:

Still think it's pimo? I'm wondering if I should contact the seller...

Josue,

It's a little harder to tell at this size, but there should be some "fur" starting to grow on the lower portions of the petioles by this point. As it goes completely palmate, it of course spreads exponentially. How cold's it been lately? I'm hard pressed to think of any Brahea that can't withstand a bit of cool, dry weather.

Here is mine this morning, with some potted plants and overgrowth around it. Note the fur Bret refers to.

I've noticed some fur near where the petiole and frond meet. I'll try to get a good picture of it. As far as temperatures go, this has been pretty typical for the last month or so. Highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s. No rain, humidity levels around 30%

@quaman58, @Ben in Norcal Could this be something other than B. pimo? What could be this cold sensitive and palmate? Pritchardia sp. maybe? 

The form sure looks like a young pimo.  Can you get a closer up picture of the base/stem and petioles?

Looks like a pimo to me.  I'm stumped.  I wonder if it could be something besides cold damage?

Wow. That thing is even less cold hardy than my royal palm. Also, we are not even in January yet. I'm already at two days low 35 this week. Looks like winter is coming early.

Josue, I agree it looks like pimo. Weird; it looks like freeze damage, but it’s too early for that.

That is bizarre! Your forecast is similar to ours in Phoenix. Oddly enough, my Thrinax radiata I planted this year has some purplish maroon shade starting on a few fronds. Coldest it’s been is 44f . I’m as puzzled as you are!

They were planted out last summer. They grew in that spot all year so it couldn't be sun damage. I noticed the dark leaf coloration after the first frost, then, after a few frosts the leaves started drooping. 

Nice! I have a small Moorei also. You should post some photos of yours!

I have been on the look out for a B PImo for long time, with no luck in CA... The only Brahea i have is Decumbens, and they are awesome! Just Bright Blue Bushes, and just love them... If you run across another or so, please let me know... You should try Decumbens though, not afraid of heat of cold.

Before we get below 50s for our lows, i figured I'd post an end-of-summer photo to show the burning is definitely not from summer sun exposure. If my two palms behave like they have the past two winters,  i should expect to see the cold damage show up in 5 to 6 weeks. 

 

btw, one seems to be outpacing the other. Water makes a huge difference! Also, the fuzz is really coming in on the larger one.

Those are looking real good Josue. Once mine went palmate, it really took off. No issues with cold though, although it sees a number of nights hit the low '30s.

So has this Pimo grown out of the winter time damage? 

I think so. Took these right around Christmas.
