Recommended Posts

In north Florida.

Low of 21 F, 10 hours at freezing temps.

3 days of freezing temps.

No overhead protection.  Little or no frost.

No damage.

Small plants with a few character leaves in the ground.  Even smaller plants in 1 gal pots showed no damage as well.

Low of 14F. 14 days straight of below freezing temps. Minor overhead protection. ~50 Plants in pots (3gal to 15gal) and in the ground had 50 to 100% leaf damage. 95% look like they will make it.

Second winter in the ground Sabal domingensis in Colington (Kill Devil Hills) NC.  Low of 18 degrees F and almost 2 days below freezing. It is in a cluster with other Sabals, and it is by far the largest.  Some browning on old leaves and leaf tips - but generally in good shape. Gardening glove for scale.

That's good news. I was never sure about domingensis' cold hardiness because of its tropical origin. But it appears to be close to causiarum. Another large Sabal that should be planted more often.

I did protect it minimally.  Spun polyester + a gallon jug with colored water for solar mass year 1.  Water jug and bottom half of a pop-up plant protector here year two.  It'll be too big for any of those soon.

Well not as far north as  @LeonardHolmes and not as cold, but here's mine grown from seed which saw lows of 25F last December with zero damage here in Jacksonville FL.
