Geoff 274 Report post Posted February 6, 2007 Seedling about 6 years old without protection, just starting to crank out a lot of leaves (planted 8 months ago from a rootbound 1 gal) got hit with around 26F for over 5 hours, and basically defoliated. check out my DAvesgarden blog on this one: http://davesgarden.com/journal/j/viewentry/95401/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Austinpalm 237 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 An ultimate low of 17F with 36 hours below freezing significantly damaged the same palm mentioned above. All fronds were fried, but the spear remained good and had begun growing again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
