Geoff 274 Report post Posted January 19, 2007 2' tall seedling, planted very close to 'weather station' showed severe burning on all leaves despite minimal overhead protection from a now dead Archontophoenix purpurea, from frostless 5 hours of 27F... Pritchardia lanaiensis just 3' away seerely damaged (though took an entire week to show it) with the same amount of overhead protection.... however that one has a good chance of survival.. The P remota is very unlikely to survive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonD 304 Report post Posted December 10, 2012 I lost a 5-gallon remota in December 2011 to a mild radiation frost (air was probably 35F but frost formed on leaves) but mostly because of cold, wet soil and air temperatures consistently below 55F day / 43F night. Carica X 'Babaco' defoliated but regrew vigorously. Loulu was toast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
