Kathryn Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Chris - Was it wet or dry with the 18°F weather you got? How have the large Acrocomia palms done since the summer of 2008 - any lasting effect? Click Here to Join the IPS Today! Click Here to Renew Your IPS Membership!

tank Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Seed purchased as A. totai from RPS. Low of 14F. 14 days straight of below freezing temps. 50% overhead protection. ~15 Plants in 3 gal pots with multiple character leaves had 100% leaf damage. Thought ALL were toast as they had the look of melting candles. Luckily I've had 0 time to work on my plants or else I would have tossed these in the compost. All but one are coming back and most are putting up their first undamaged leaf. I'm sorta excited about this one as it took a lot of work (cracking seeds, 2 to germinate) to get these to sprout.
