Chipdoo 1 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 Zone 7a, LI, NY Endured the same temps as described for my Fortunei (14 degrees w/ strong winds). This one was left uncovered about 4 days. Its a small 1 1/2 footer in the ground. Suffered bad leaf burn but appears to be alive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rade 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2013 T. takil is the most hardy palm on the world. After -20,3°C (-4°F) plant about 60 cm with trunk up to 20 cm were burned only 50% of foliage! The remaining half of leaves were green and live. Palm was in wooden box, without heating, where was about -17°C (1,4°F) . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well the cold hardiest palms are still Rhapidophyllum and Sabal minor. But T. takil will be the coldhardiest of the Trachycarpus then. I have plenty seedlings here from Kalamuni. And if they will be coldhardier then Trachycarpus fortunei that will be great! We can get minus 20 C and colder here in the country now and then.Especially a bit farther from the coast where I live. I had -18 C as the coldest here. Alexander Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
