Freeze Damage - What to do?
by jibit3- 0 replies
- 651 views
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'…

Need Help Houston Freeze Please!
by palmpalm01- 0 replies
- 387 views
All- I am victim of the Houston Freeze. I currently have Med fans almost perfect condition. Just to note. I fertilized my palms and saturated the ground with Clearys 3306 systemati and super thrive. I sprayed throats with pump sprayer of clearys. Going to spray copper or hydrogen Peroxide this weekend I hit every palm with 5gallon of water and super thrive. Here is what is remaining of Medjools and Sylvesters. Looks dismal. I don't plan on removing fronds until I see green. Do I need to take out the very top? When I spray with Hyrogen Peroxide can you provide instructions for how much Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon of water. …

Attalea Rostrata: How cold can it take?
by Sandy Loam- 0 replies
- 2.2k views
Does anyone know what type of cold temperatures (in degrees Celcius or Fahrenheit) an Attalea Rostrata can tolerate without defoliating? I am willing to tolerate some minor bronzing in winter, but not defoliation. I saw an old post on this forum describing palm damage during the historic 1989 freeze in Orlando, Florida, USA. Apparently, Attalea Rostrata "survived". It was not clear to me whether it survived wtih flying colours or barely survived and defoliated entirely. I would be grateful to receive any information concerning Attalea Rostrata survivals, the lowest temperature experienced, and the degree of damage, if any. Many thanks, Sandy.

Pritchardia thurstonii
by Zeeth- 0 replies
- 549 views
Multiple potted specimens, about 9 inches tall, low of 31.5˚, no frost: The ones in with full sun after about 8 am (so no sun during the morning frost) have minimal leaf damage but spear browning and turning soft, but still actively growing (suggesting that it's alive). The ones in all day shade have about 80% browning of the leaves with spear browning as well. A P. pacifica seedling in the location with full sun after 8 am shows extensive leaf damage, so I'd say that P. thurstonii seems a bit hardier.

Vallejo, CA, (USDA Zone 9b/Sunset Zone 17) Advective freeze last night, with frost. Dew point hovered just below actual temperatures during the coldest hours. Humidity was considerably high for an event like this in Northern California. Generally during similar cold events humidity levels out in my area are consistently quite low. ~70% damage on horizontally exposed leaves. This is a juvenile 5 multiple clump planted last July 4th, 2020 so a pretty dense set of leaves packed into a small area, which coincidentally results in some leaves being exposed and damaged, and others protected and damage free. This clump is under wide open sky near a west facing wooden fence, less …

Both seedlings are about 6 years old but only 8" tall over all, and both are growing under other plants... but still, most palms around them fried, and neither show any cold damage whatsoever to 27F for 5 hours.

We live in Katy Texas and experienced a hard freeze a few weeks ago. I just trimmed off the dead/brown palms - all center pieces still enter but brown. The largest palm’s entire middle section is dry, brittle, and falling off. All have a lot of debris around the boots. What should I do?! New to palms. Thanks!

One night -3,8ºC, another -3,6ºC, three nights -2,8ºC, and many other with 0ºC to -1,5ºC, not in more than four consecutive days. This palm is 4,5 mts tall, 2,5 mts trunked. Leaves almost 100% burned, is now coming back, but still looks bad. Maybe in October it will be looking green all over or almost...

Need some serious help and advice, please!!!! 2/21 Texas Snow storm. I got 6” of snow that stayed on ground and kept us in the dark for a week. I lost all 6 of my 30’ Mexican Fan palms. Serious damage to 3 smaller ones, 2 - 15’ Pendos and 3 other hardier Texas trees. i can’t get a break, 2023 we got an ice storm. I have since since lost two of the three smaller (4-5’) Mexican fan palms that showed initial new growth of 2’ fan stilll not opened and then all of a sudden the fan just fell over and turned brown. In pic 1 is my last fan palm. It too is still struggling. If i get a fan, it turns brown. I originally planted them in 2009, but since snow and …
