Some Updated Photos Of My Other In Ground Coconut Palms

[Mr. Coconut Palm]

Here are some photos of my other in ground coconut palms, with before and after photos of each one.  The first is my little Golden Malayan Dwarf, which surprisingly is my best looking one of my smaller in ground coconut palms, since they are usually not quite as cold hardy as the Green Malayans and some other varieties.

Little Green Malayan Dwarf before and after winter of 2018.

Maymex hybrid cross between what I think is a Golden Malayan Dwarf and a Mexican Tall before and after the winter of 2018.  This was my most exposed coconut palm to the north winds as it is in my backyard and faces west northwest.  But because it is a Maymex hybrid, I figured it would have faired a little better, especially better than my little Golden Malayan, which looks much better right now than this one.  Go figure!

The dwarfs have been the champs, especially the gold one =)

Yeah, Pedro, you are right, and Green Malayans, I think are definitely more cold hardy than they are given credit for!

Looking good John,  but your maymex is looking rough, hope it makes it. Still considering the winter you had they look good.

Thanks, Randy.  Me too.  I think as of now, my Maymex is the only one I am in real danger of losing.  How have all of yours faired as of now?

Mine are doing great, just some cosmetic damage. Some of my coconuts had basically zero damage. One of my green Malayans got hit the worst but certianly not bad. It looks bad to me as I want them all green and looking perfect  but by summer you will not even tell anything happened.  Here is one of my maypans. 31 was my lowest temp.

I live in the NE part of Cape Coral so we are usually the "coldest" part of the Cape. I will have to take some more pictures at some point.

Here is my green malayan, kind of hard to get a good picture of it. But you can see the damage, while my other coconuts have far less damage. It is funny as the one closet to the house and on the south side had the most damage but the one in my front yard facing north had very little damage. The fronds over the house had the most damage while the others just had minor damage. The one frond on the extreme right side of the picture is my yellow malayan which only one frond was damaged. It is almost like a cold pocket of air sat over this small section of the yard. The rest of the yard fared much better with little to no damage.

Randy,

They don't look too bad.  What is the palm in the last photo with the small nuts on it?  That is strange how the one close to the house and on the south side got more injured than the one on the north side.  Go figure!  It's like my little Golden Malayan faring better than my little Green Malayan and much better than my slightly bigger Maymex, which got fried as you saw in the pic.

John, thanks. The second picture is a green malayan, might have a cross in it. It did drop a few nuts from the cold.

Randy,

Still, it looks pretty good though, under the circumstances!
