Oh no not good. Bring the "Black Stem" in. Sabal sp. " Lisa" should be fine. These rest will have to fend off the uglinest.

Ben's 'Black Stem' is far too large to move......it may be a goner....:)

I voted for Roystonea regia. My big monsters were small when the big freeze of 2007 hit; Butch and Alfalfa both survived four successive all-nighters of about 24-25 F and have lived to tell the tale.

My largest Wodetyia was only exposed to four all-nights of 27 F, which does not rule it out, but experience for me shows R. regia.

Hope we don't get a test like 2007 for a good long while.
