I never saw them but that was my understanding, some were planted there before the freeze, looks like they are no longer there though, hopefully they will replant.

There are some new foxtail palms at the residential area " @Xenon you saw the area and they're gone, or standing dead trunks? They planted a long row of very young royals (3 or 5 gallon?) in summer of 2020 along the mid-high bay. They are missing from recent web footage. Probably would've been removed anyways due to construction. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Coconut Palm 1,424 Report post Posted January 8 5 hours ago, Xenon said: They are at the north end of SPI, a bit up the road from the sea turtle center just before the dunes. Didn't get a pic but the two large curving dead trunks were unmistakable. One was similar in size to the two on E Red Snapper St. Okay. Thanks. It wasn't the two from me (Green Malayan Dwarf and Fiji Dwarf) that were planted at the Plant Center there on the island on the left side of the road about 4 years ago, were they?

John No, these were in the backyard of a house next to a pool. I've afraid your palms never really took off, seems the center didn't irrigate them enough if at all...most of their other plants were also declining in summer 2020. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, Jonathan, that's what I was afraid of. Such as waste of two good, healthy palms. I wasn't at all impressed by the person who was in charge there back then.

Here are some better looking ones (most look much worse) on the island (borrowed pic): Can they survive 8A? I'm assuming since they are in texas they could? They look so cool with the leaf segments Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They look so cool with the leaf segments No, they are tropical warm 9b/10a plants. This part of Texas rarely freezes. Last year's freeze killed coconuts that were over 20 years old. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh that's a shame, I was thinking less about the cold part cause I just thought oh it's a pine it should do fine but makes sense for a plant that naturally lives around equator but very cool though! guess if I wanted one I could pot one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So yes, very "Jurassic" looking They are commonly available at many big box stores and nurseries during the winter holiday season as "mini" Christmas trees Edited January 8 by Xenon 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many dead coconuts can you confirm you think? Bottles still surprise me, the ones you posted don't look half bad. Any adonidia or other Z10's? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
