Trópico 73 Report post Posted February 14, 2011 One year old seedling left outside unprotected but under a roof, inside a pool enclosure. During freeze event when outside temperatures reached 23.5°F, but subject location saw probably just below freezing, leaves started shrinking and turning dark green. After recovery, leaves have necrotic/dead edges but 70% of the leaf area is a healthy, shiny green. Freeze events during December only. One month after (yesterday) the spear pulled. Humid/brown but no signs of fungus/bacteria attack. More tender than I thought. Other palms in pots nearby (Dypsis, etc.) didn't blink an eye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trópico 73 Report post Posted March 28, 2011 Update! Rest of spear is GROWING!!! Slow but steady. Seedling survived freezing temperatures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
