In January of 2009 I had three back-to-back nights with low temperatures that read: 27, 23.5, and 27F. My small African oil palm was totally defoliated. This palm, without a doubt, is the best palm I'm currently growing that comes back so well and fast from a total defoliation. Further, this palm doesn't exhibit the typical stunting of fronds as so many other species do (first 1-3 fronds, until they finally return to normal size).

Encephalartos ferox
by TexasColdHardyPalms- 1 reply

20f, completely defoliated both of these with ease. I have seen burn on ferox begin at 28f and any frost or ice will burn them. These plants took 16f last year unprotected and didnt die. However one only had one abnormal flush that looked like it was close to death. Both have basketball size caudices.

First Post-Winter Fatalities
by palmsOrl- 12 replies
- 1.9k views
After this amazingly persistent winter (record cold in-fact), I have to-date lost only 3 palms. The first photo is what is left of my Cocos nucifera "Pacific Tall", brought back from Hawaii in 2005 as one of those bagged Cocos seedlings sold in gift shops. It was planted in too much shade and has never been a very strong grower, it has given up the ghost to fungus recently.

Florida Christmas Freeze 2022 1 2

This freeze impacted areas north of a line from Roseland, FL to Arcadia, FL to St Petersburg, FL. Temperatures dropped into the 20's as far south as Lakeland, FL, and temperatures dropped into the teens for areas in the Panhandle. There were several nights of cold, spanning from the 22nd to the 26th. In central FL, not all of these nights dipped below freezing, but temperatures in the 30's did occur. My official low was 19F in my back yard, although i suspect that the front yard may have been 17F or 18F based on the degree of damage to my Queen. I will be posting pictures of my palms in my yard here, and i encourage anyone else with any damage to post them here …

Here in Maitland (northern suberb of Orlando) we had 8 nights below 32 F during the recent extended freeze event. Of these, 6 nights were in the 20s (28,28,27,26,25,29). Here are some photos of the damage my palms have received, taken today (sorry about the less than optimal lighting). Roystonea borinqueana, almost 100% defoliated. I expect it to come back just fine.

FOXTAIL AND FREEZES

I noticed that with the freeze we had in early Jan, Foxtails suffered little if any damage. It should be noted there was no frost due to dry air, and some areas inland from em saw freezing or below for 10 hours, dropping to 26-27F. Two years ago it hit 30F for a few hours but there was HEAVY frost that night, and damage was significant if only on outer leaves. My foxtails are absolutely fine with 28.9F although one is sheltered. Any comments? My poor Mango has shown damage about 35' up the tree where most of the blooms were. Luckily, it will bloom again. Greg in New Port Richey (it was 38.9F this morning in my open cold back yard)...

Freeze Damage - What to do?
by jibit3- 0 replies

My wife and I just bought a new house in New Orleans with two palm trees in the front yard. This is the first time I have ever owned palm trees. Unfortunately, one of the two palms started to lose a considerable amount of bark from around its trunk. I did some research and the only thing I was able to find as to why this may be happening was freezing weather which would damage the palm and create oppurtunities for fungal and bacterial growth. I'm not sure if this is the case, but we had temperatures drop to as low as 20 degrees fahrenheit recently and a considerable amount of wind. I sprayed each palm tree with "Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide". What'…

I don't know that this will prove of value to anyone, but here's the info: Winter 2013--Veitchia Merrillii, anyway Christmas Palm---potted that year from seed. in plastic 16 oz cups, 2 leaves. Put in an enclosure, 3 X 6', with a single layer plastic tarp, and a clamp-on 75W bulb, this arrangement under a 22' high overhang. Temp dropped to 19 deg for about two hours---no damage. This was the coldest of quite a few below freezing nights. July 2014, these are in larger pots now, and have 6 leaves. On the other front---Pigmy date, in 3 gal pot, no cover, four trees in pot, pretty large leaf array. This sitting under a 20' overhang, in a shallow entryway--two trees …
