doubravsky Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 This was interesting. I have several- all from 5 gallon this year or last. One that was out in the colder area with no protection is toast.... Dave Riverside, CA Z 9b 1700 ft. elevation approx 40 miles inland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubravsky Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 The others, all with varying degrees of protection, look ok to minor damage (24 degrees) Dave Riverside, CA Z 9b 1700 ft. elevation approx 40 miles inland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Dave (post 1), I'm assuming your unprotected D. baronii got the same lows as your protected ones?? Or was it slightly colder in the unprotected area? Oakley, California 55 Miles E-NE of San Francisco, CA Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Geoff Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 27F and both plants, about 5 years old, completely fried. The smaller one is already dead. Larger one looks like the spikes may survive (larger plant about 6' tall leaf tips). This larger plant had quite a bit of protection, not only overhead from shade cloth and Strelitzia nicolai (totally fried), but also growing amonst other taller trees (Itallian Cypress)... and right next to (fronds overlapping) a Ravenea juliette that went nearly unscathed... yet this plant, 6' tall over all, with three healthy, happy stems, was completely and utterly defoliated... what a wimp!!!! Was totally surprised by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubravsky Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Patrick, the worst one was in the coldest part of the yard... bottom of a 10' slope... where it looks like everything in that area got completely toasted. The other one was nearer the house, and near the heated pool, which helped I believe.

DoomsDave Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Egad! My prior post, well, sucks. Sorry. Four days of 28-29 FF (-c) straight all night, or at least several hours, fully exposed, 5% damage. All plants in the ground three+ years, trunking flowered first time this summer, so far so good. Babies in five-gallons, apparently stood up to three days of 24.8, then another day of 28 F, exposed. No damage. Hip-hip-hoo-ray! dave Let's keep our forum fun and friendly.

mppalms Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Have any of the damaged D. baronii recovered this summer? Mine were close to the house and our temp only hit 28 in Jan.; so, they didn't get tested. Thanks. Jason Menlo Park, CA (U.S.A.) hillside Min. temp Jan 2007: 28.1 deg. F (-2.2 deg.

mppalms Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Quick refresh of this thread. Did anyone who had serious (fatal-looking) damage on their clumping Dypsis see a recovery from the roots this summer? I'm just wondering whether these palms are resilient when damaged.. Thanks.
