Palma after - 15 ° C with strong wind

[Igor_Kii]

In January 2016 in the village of Lazarevskoye Russia. The temperature dropped to -15 C. killed many palms. But the old  Washingtonia received minor burns on the leaves.

I'm guessing no ice or snow?

I'm guessing that no ice or snow accompanied the cold temperatures?

[Igor_Kii]

Snow was also quite a lot of

[TexasColdHardyPalms]

Everything looks much better than it does when we experience those temperatures and precipitation.

I am so amazed by those palms. My butia spear pulled last year after a 2 in snow fall lol.

I made some new photos of palm trees in Lazarevkaya

Phoenix canariensis

Washingtonia

Trachycarpus

Chamerops

Sabal

Butia

Cordyline australis

Eucaliptus

Ur localization is knowed in europe for the palm growth, but -15°c (5°f) is very cold and if u add strong wind , plz post others pictures in april/may month.

I'm very suprised because all species of ur picutres are die at this temperature (without wind) except T.fort

Once again, it appears Washingtonia filifera has out performed Washingtonia robusta. With the health of the many other palms shown, my guess is the cold was of short duration?

Cheers, Barrie.

For several days the frost was night. During the day the temperature was above zero. The maximum cold peak -15 С lasted some time before sunrise

great photos!!!!

[JasminInYarpshire]

For -15c, it looks like most specimens survived remarkably well. I've seen far worse damage in the southern UK with cold-snaps much less severe (i.e. single digit negative figures)

Those pictures are sort of amazing after seeing -15 degrees.

What's their secret

I can propose.
High summer temperatures.

Winter frosts not stay for a long time.
In communist past, made the selection of the most frost-resistant plant species representatives. Also produced by experimentation planting palms to the city of Krasnodar.

Don't believe in Lazarevskoye was -15.
Can be -7?

[cm05]

-15C? I'm surprised the damage doesn't look severe. I've seen Windmills look beat up at temperatures warmer than that.

Do you know if those Phoenix Canariensis are brought indoors during the worst cold snaps since they are in large pots? 

It's amazing how well those Butias look after -15C. We had a low of -11C for only a few hours two years ago and a large Butia here in Montgomery was very beat up. 

[Palm crazy]

Really amazing how cold it gets but the palms keep growing back, large body of water really helps I bet!… Its like the riviera of Russia. 

What are your summer temperatures like?
