Rising from the ashes

It is impossible for a cold hardy palm gardener not to push the zone occasionally, and just as impossible not to get bitten by the cold. I got away with it for many years, then in 2010 got bitten by 15 year record lows. Among the 20 to 30 palms that were lost was a pair of gorgeous triple trunked P. robellinis, they were under Live Oak cover, but the cold, 3 nights in a row at 20,19,21 was too much. Now, over 2 years after their death, it appears that one is indeed rising from the ashes. I was shocked to see this today. My robellini is rising from the ashes.

LOL, WOW, now that is truly rising from the ashes! Or the dust anyway... I had some completely defoliated in 2007 come back, but not with the juvenile strap leaves... I am amazed.... Is it possible that this is from a seed?

Never, say never, but to my knowledge they never flowered.

Moose, you just might be right. Decomposing mulch does generate a little bit of heat. And in a cold front, a little bit can mean all the difference in the world.

This is really awesome! I know I've had other plants die and come back from the roots, but I wouldn't have guessed a fried to the ground palm tree could do it as well! Very impressive! Thanks for sharing

Looks like there might be two there.

Good eye Tom, there are indeed two.

Mine did the same thing. But it was because the mother put out seeds that sprouted. It was a triple that died over two winters, but it had a nice 10 year run, right up on the side of the house until it got too tall and hit 15F in 2011. Now there is a little seedling that is going pinnate.
