Chris Chance 1,074 Report post Posted February 28, 2018 So here's a crispy foxtail and a still nice looking Beccariophoenix alfredii after our cold. Also Archontophoenix and Coccothrinax barbadensis got fried. Tribears didn't handle it so well neither which is the one Palm in the garden that makes me want to cry. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egad, sprinkle that Foxtail with some seasoned salt, and serve with some dairy-based dip? Hope it recovers. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The National Weather Service had information on all the "all time lows" and "all time minimum highs" for the dates this last week. Vista experienced both some all time lows and one all time minimum high (Tuesday or Wednesday, I can't remember which). No hail just a little further south, but it did get down to 40 again this morning here, with frost on a couple of roofs nearby. I'm seeing a little leaf spotting on a couple of Dypsis in my garden which I'm attributing to the cold. One was a Dypsis I acquired as Dypsis cabadea and the other is my Dypsis crinita (easily identified with the orchid buds underneath it in the photo). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palm Tree Jim 1,185 Report post Posted February 28, 2018 No hail up here in south OC. My low last night was 40 with roof frost including my own. Need to get out into the yard and inspect tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nachocarl 210 Report post Posted February 28, 2018 My small Dypsis cabadae showed a little burn in a choice location, but this is one of the harder ones to make look good in Socal. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim in Los Altos 3,289 Report post Posted March 1, 2018 Mild and nearly 2" of rain have fallen here Wednesday night and today. Looks like my garden dodged any freezing temperatures this winter. Dombeya, mangoes, and heliconia are always the first to show stress and they're all looking perfectly happy. More rain is on the way too. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that doesn't look like a dehusked coconut planted in the ground, I don't know what is. It's a doppelganger 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CB Lisa 87 Report post Posted March 4, 2018 Much symathy from Florida on this late cold blast and all the damaged plants pictured. Guessing it’s extra painful when the end of Winter and beginning of Spring was so close in sight! Wishing you all a speedy warm up and a final good bye to Winter!
