New and Replacement Fall Plantings

My gardens have been in place for over 10 years so many of my palms have grown to maturity. However, I still lose individual plants over the course of a year, which give me opportunities to sort through palms I've grown from seeds to fill gaps in the yard. Since fall began I have planted the following plants, including one Areca catechu semi dwarf and five Areca catechu dwarfs that demanded to go into the ground.

Areca catechu semi dwarf - replaced a fading Livistona nitida

Plans on protecting those catechu in the winter? I have had 2 full sized one in the ground since 2011 with no issues, 09/10 killed the one I had in the ground at that time. No protection on any of them.

Perhaps if lows fall below 40F. They've been living in pots outdoors on the south side of the house for 5 years without any protection as they were too large and heavy to move. We could barely move them to their planting locations. Last winter took down to 37F with no protection. They all have some protective canopy and wind breaks from the house and other plantings. I finally decided they would be better off in the ground. I have an 8-9' tall Hydriastele dransfieldii going into its 3rd winter planted in my jungle. No protection either.

Your guagara is doing great. Mine is ailing, sadly. That R. Julietae looks great too. Great shady plantings there--nice little understory.
