   I have 2 of this palm, born from seeds some years ago, one in the ground is 3 leaves strap and had no problem after 2 nights at -9° C (15 F) and snow, it's under canopy of a chamerops (damaged to some leaves) Anothe one in a pot is badly damaged after -7° C (19° F) , expecially to the recent leaves, dried by the cold, maybe because the roots are more exposed in a pot?? Before: and after the cold spell: ciao

   Cold damage in North Brevard

   I have different accounts to exactly how cold it got here. It seems that the temperature dropped to around 23F to 24F in Port St. John. I am sure GSN could add to this if he wishes to. Note: this cold damage is very unusual for the area; Port St. John is roughly the equivalent to either Sarasota or Ruskin for those of you on the west coast of Florida.

   Sabal palmetto cold damage

   In the wake of the early 2010 winter, I'm looking for information and photographs of cold damaged cabbage palms. In particular, I'm interested in 1) the fate of palms that had been burdened with snow loads, 2) symptoms of cold damage in mature palms, and 3) symptoms of damage in seedling and juvenile palms. Photographs combined with location information and what is known about the tree (transplanted or grown in place) would be especially helpful. I may be retracing paths others have trod, but I'm trying to understand the original distribution of Sabal palmetto in the Southeast before they were extensively relocated. It seems obvious that mature Sabal palms can survive…

   Can someone please tell me if Queen palms will survive in Spring Hill Florida ? It seems to me that they do well for a number of years until a bad freeze. Will they recover ? Why do people cut them down ? Ive seen a few very large ones that have survived for 20-30 years ? Please help !!!

   I was looking online and came across this application protection. Has anyone tried it? It states to apply above 50F when anticipated freezes occur, preferably a few days ahead or 6-8 hours if need be. Curious, because it seems if it did work to some degree it may help those slightly marginal plams and plants get through. Greg

    I have a concern and question. Here in South Louisiana, a few weeks back we got into the TEEN temperatures. Mine along with most of other peoples queen palms in their yards all seem to be brown and barely green. What is the best solution to getting these back healty and green again? Will this take years? I have about 8 of these planted behind a fence for my pool viewing area and its going to look horrible this summer. Any ideas how to spruce this up for the summer time? Anything special I can do? I have about $2,000 invested in these trees. Any information can help. Thanks William

    Carpentaria acuminata

    • 2.4k views

    I have two young (not yet flowering) Carpentaria acuminata in the yard. I suspect both will flower in 2010--stem elongation seems to have slowed, indicating that the plants might be shifting resources away from vegetative growth. Both are exposed to the sky, though there are laurel oaks nearby and the palms are partly shaded during some hours of the day, especially in winter. The taller one suffered no apparent damage from cold, the shorter only minor leaf browning. In the long Cold Spell of 2010, our coldest night was 28 at 10:30, then up to 32 or 33, then back to 29 near dawn. The coldest other night was 30 (based on official data from the airport, less than a mile t…

    My Arenga, growing open and exposed and getting a LOT of summer sun, looks toasted???? I thought it was hardy? I know, it prefers shade, but that was where there was room and the palms nearby will need to grow up to shade it. It was REALLY exposed to lots of frost as it is wide open and in a drain. 27.8 F was the lowest but it was below freezing for 10+ hours in that area. Should I move it come spring? I'm bummed!

    Phoenix sylvestris/Phoenix canariensis damage in zone 8

    • 4k views

    Hello, new to this forum and palm trees. Thanks for all the insightful posts! I'm located in Hattiesburg, MS (zone 8) and received severe burn on 2 Phoenix sylvestris(3 foot of trunk)and 1 Phoenix canariensis (2 foot of trunk) despite some limited protection. We had at least 3 nights of 15-16F weather during the recent snap. The only positive news is some green is still present on the emerging center buds. I was told to leave on all the dead foliage for added protection as there may be a chance of recovery when spring/summer arrives. Really hope so as they have done really well during the prior 2 winters. I tied up the dead foliage on the trees to help shield the cente…

    Green Fronds Falling

    In West Palm Beach we had 8 out of nine nights in the 30s. PBI registered 32F one night. I was surprised how little browning was observed compared to the Christmas 89 freeze. Now that we have been warm for a week, more palms are showing some browning of the fronds. But more interestingly, I have notice a few palms that appear damage free started dropping green fronds. Especially the Adonidia merrillii, Heterospathe elata, and Veitchia macdanielsii. This is a new cold damage outcome for me.

    From January 2nd to January 12th South Florida experience the longest period of nights in the 30's and 40's since the 1940s. I live about 300 yards from the Atlantic (I can't see it) so it never got below freezing but my plants and trees got burned pretty bad. Here are a few photos...

    P. pacifica , same general area and conditions as the Nephrosperma and Verschaffeltia, 7-8 OA, 2.5 feet of trunk... Torched, damage total....grown in shade which is the kiss of death for this Prit. If it lives, it will get moved to a full sun area this spring. By far, the most tender palm i have, with the exception of my Cyrtostachys....which will take a month or more to start the death throws i'm sure.....

    Verschaffeltia splendida , bronzing on all but one leaf, and that single one is off color.......grown under canopy, so no frost although had spotty areas in the open, lowest here abt 34.5 during the 7-10 day event. I would guess that this is less acute injury and is more chronic damage, largely precursed by the prolonged below 40 temps.

    This one has totally surprised me! I have 3 small seedlings, 1 planted and 2 in pots, which took 3 weeks of sub zero temps with at least 2 excursions to -4c/24.8v and 2 lower dips to -5c/23f. The 2 in pots have about 25% leaf burn, the planted one is still pristine with no damage what so ever. All 3 were understory to my Acacia. I have since brought the 2 in pots indoors to help recovery. They are still alive and growing again slowly. Regards Andy,
