Seedling about 6 years old without protection, just starting to crank out a lot of leaves (planted 8 months ago from a rootbound 1 gal) got hit with around 26F for over 5 hours, and basically defoliated.

    An ultimate low of 17F with 36 hours below freezing significantly damaged the same palm mentioned above. All fronds were fried, but the spear remained good and had begun growing again.
