Normally NOLA has a warmer Winter than Pensacola. The Pensacola 2013/2014 Winter was a 100 year event which was followed by a 25 year event. The back to back blows were devastating. I loved my P. sylvestris so much so I may put one back and hope for the best or maybe go with P. dactylifera which seems to have a higher frost tolerance. Also might install overhead sprayers just for frost relief and put on trunk wraps for hard freezes. I don't think a Mule can match the elegance and canopy thickness of the two Phoenix palms I'm considering.

Darkman in Pensacola - Looking for cold hardy palms and plants that make Pensacola look tropical

Life - Some assembly required, Side effects frequently experienced, Mileage may vary, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Opinions that analyst twist to support the insanity of those that pay them.

The 4 P. dactyliferas on the corner of the street mentioned in my first post on this thread are just now beginning to have significant trunk rot (canopies are healthy though). I think it may be from damage/stress incurred in the '13-'14 and '14-'15 winters.
