Vallejo, CA, (USDA Zone 9b/Sunset Zone 17) Advective freeze last night, with frost. Dew point hovered just below actual temperatures during the coldest hours. Humidity was considerably high for an event like this in Northern California. Generally during similar cold events humidity levels out in my area are consistently quite low. ~70% damage on horizontally exposed leaves. This is a juvenile 5 multiple clump planted last July 4th, 2020 so a pretty dense set of leaves packed into a small area, which coincidentally results in some leaves being exposed and damaged, and others protected and damage free. This clump is under wide open sky near a west facing wooden fence, less than 20 ft from the south facing wall of my house. Somewhat surprised this much damage occurred at those temps but it was advective with frost, on a plants that have been in the ground less than a year so ya...

      wet trunk one side - king palm
      By rizla023
      Hi friends,
      I have a few mature king palms and one of them is totally wet on one side. I’m not sure what this is or what it means but if it was from dew or rain I would have expected it on all of them.
      I’m in Santa Ana, CA.

      King Palm Leaves Sticking
      By mxcolin
      The leaves on my King Palm fronds seem to stick together at the ends and are attached to something that looks like a small piece of wood. I’m sure it has a name :-)
      They do seem to unstick eventually but those leaves that are stuck appear a little more brown than the others. Should I manually unstick them?

      Archonotopheonix alexandrae seedlings advice needed
      By Rhub
      Hey all,
      I ordered a bunch of archo alex seedlings in the mail and potted them all. They are all under artificial light.  Half seem to be doing well and the other half are browning and leaves are getting "crispy" . They are all watered at least once a week. The lights don't heat up and the room is on avg 78 degrees Not sure why half are having issues. Any advice or tips? salvageable or too late? I may need to start over and i want to make sure I get it right if i do.

      Archonotophoenix myolensis First Time Seeds!
      By PalmatierMeg
      First time event in my back yard jungle! My only Archonotophoenix myolensis has the brightest red seeds I have seen in a long time. This native of the Atherton Tableland in Queensland, Australia, may be the rarest species in the genus, according to Palmpedia, and it is endangered. I don't know how many exist in the US.

      It is by far the smallest and most petite of my Archos and I am excited to have seeds to pass on. See photos below:
