MattyB Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Gary's is planted up against a 12 foot tall boulder which, in my opinion, offers a bit of protection (just for the record).

LJG Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I wonder if anyone has A. rubra and how they did with those. LenVista, CA (Zone 10a)Shadowridge Area"Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are."-- Alfred Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Old news, but maybe still usedful: 5' over all plant against house, under tree (without leaves) took 26F for maybe 1 hour max without damage... temp at this site probably was a bit higher.

neoflora Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Are you guys talking about rubra? I don't think A. crintia will grow here in So. Ca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Ron, mine is Acanthophoenix Crinita and it has been in the ground for six or seven years and has some nice woody trunk now. Rubra is the one I hear that is more sensitive.

quaman58 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Moose, If memory serves, Gary's was crinita. Pretty sure it croaked due to a fungal infection a couple years back. Too bad, it had started to flower too. Logic would suggest that rubra is the most cold sensitive one, although Dennis in Pt. Loma has a giant one, so it can't be that sensitive. Crinita & rouselii are comfortable with temps down to the occasional freezing point. Mine (the one listed above) is still kicking, although I've never been able to get it to grow like others have.
