Collectorpalms 2,101 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 Brahea Armata coming back after trunk cut. There is still rot in there, so it’s still getting peroxide. Also the Amaryllis must have survived under the snow and are blooming. 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Collectorpalms 2,101 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) A trunk cut Mule in center. It was about 12Ft of trunk. No movement on it. Yes, the bottom of the trunk looks gory. It oozed and sap came out when it thawed. The twisty turny tree to the lower right is a Loquot. I pruned the dead. The rest has buds. The other is a twisty turn pine, lol.

jwitt 243 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 Glad you have "some" amazing surprises! It does not make up for your losses. But the knowledge and experience gained will be useful, but hopefully not needed in your future. I thank you for all your posting thru this event. We all gain from it! I hope you have more "good" outcomes. At the end of the day, rest becomes easier with your gained knowledge. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a 1-gal filifera that perished at 20° in 2018. My filibusta hybrid (filifera dominant) has roughly 1/3 the trunk size of Ryan's and it has not yet come back if it does at all.

Mine only suffered through 9° as the ultimate low. My smaller Filfera (7 or 8 foot tall) came back like crazy...it already almost looks as if nothing happened. It has already almost generated a full crown. It has put out many healthy green fronds, like probably 6 or 7 since freeze. They are perfectly healthy also. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UK_Palms 1,512 Report post Posted April 6, 2021 Wow, lots of stuff coming back and showing signs of life. It's good to see the CIDP, Chamaerops and Washies pushing new growth. Be patient with some of these. Is there any signs of movement on the big Sylvestris? Has the Filifera started pushing new growth as well? At least it means less work now when it does come to removing the actual dead stuff. I reckon a few more will kick into growth between now and then too. All of the Chamaerops should be alive still and come back, even if they reshoot from ground level. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could create a structure, but unlike the structures for trachys up north, it would have to come on and off during cold spells. Washies need warm air and sunshine 360.

It's weird how foliage gets more damaged over time. My silly cast iron plants handled the freeze like champs..two months later, they're turning orangish-yellow...(Same with my MIL's)They have never turned "yellow" on me in large amts. If anything they get sunburnt and bleached and their tips turn brown. These are turning yellow... This whole thing is just weird, weird, weird... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iamjv 133 Report post Posted April 13, 2021 Good to see a lot of recovery happening in your garden !!!! I hope the losses are to a minimum ! At present, it appears that I'll have about an 80+% survival rate, if there is no late stage fungal issues, etc. Holding out hope, like you, on the mule hybrid ! Keep us up today... all the best !

Collectorpalms 2,101 Report post Posted April 24, 2021 (edited) Update, One very tall Filibusta is alive on property line. All others nothing. One more Mediterranean with 7 ft of clear trunk was/is alive. I had trunk cut it a few weeks ago and nothing. I cut again and I ended up cutting some developing white fronds, had I waited another week I would have seen something come out. Oops, I didn’t cut too far thankfully cross fingers. Should know it a few days. A second small Livistonia Chineses has survived after a trunk cut. I trunk cut another Mediterranean, I think it’s still mush inside. Will hit it with peroxide today. i cut back a lot more on a previously nice bxs and my jb x s. condition questionable. Arenga Micrantha is alive. Lady palm coming back from underground stems. Phoenix Reclinata coming back from base. White and orange bird of paradise coming back. Palmegranite coming back from base. tropical dwarf oleander coming back from roots. Mexican Olive Coming back from Base. Almost 1/2 of my Cycads are flushing leaves work remains in progress.

Therefore, regardless if it lives, it is planned for removal along with my live oak, and everyone’s street trees. My Large Canary is going to removed too. i am really devastated. They want to replace everything with a grass zone. Makes zero common sense. Just found out this week, I obviously complained and I was ignored. That is this city for you.

UPDATE: 2022 Both of these Washingtonians ( sold as Filifera from Home Depot) and never defoliated from a previous 14.5 died later last summer. The Sylvestris in the back tried to come back but also died. Another slimmer date you can barely see, also died, no recovery. Lesson, Never plant Filifera in this type of clay and have them sun blocked from the south by a live oak. They wont get fat trunked. I have no real explanation why they died, they did both filled out canopy. The one on the left starting leaning and died, then the other that looks like it is leaning did the same thing a couple months later. It was if the trunk could not support the weight of the leaves. So I rekon major damage from the length of freeze hours. Edited May 18 by Collectorpalms 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UPDATE: It made a near full recovery then suddenly got crown rot and died. Here is the full flowerbed before ( posted many times lol), just after freeze ( sadly ) and here is as of April 2022 ( major work on progress). The Washingtonia Hybrid died and the largest Washingtonia Filifera died too. Eventually when Laura Bush Petunia ends a Yucca Rostrata is going in a pot there on top of the old Filifera. Big leaf Sabal Minor, new trailing Rosemary, hybrid palm new, wandering Jew returned, Amaryllis ( returned) , and Red Texas Yuccas on slope all new.
