Geoff Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Have 6 of these seedling in various locations about the yard in San Fernando Valley... some totally unprotected, some well protected. Despite probably deaths of nearby Dypsis baroniis (two very healthy well established multiple trunked seedlings- one 2' tall, and one 6' tall overall), none of these 6 seedlings (tallest 2') was even damaged one bit... totally surprised me. Temps down to 27F for 5 hours plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quaman58 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Small plant in ground. Very sad at 26F. Spear is still green, so I'm hopeful. This IS a pretty tough plant, not bothered by blazing sun either. Even if this one croaks, I'm a believer.

BS Man about Palms Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have a small 5 gal one that hit 26F twice, only covered by sheet, looks fine. Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

JD in the OC Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Have several small 1-gallon plants. All were next to a wall but showed no damage whatsoever after 28-30 F temps. This one could be a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
