I planted out my 3-year old Sabal riverside seedling this past Sept. It had been a pretty fast grower as far as Sabals go until this calendar year. We hit a low temp of 20° this past January, but I covered him up and saw no foliage damage whatsoever until mid-March when I noticed the spear had turned brown and it pulled. I treated it with some hydrogen peroxide. There must have been some damage to the meristem because I now see a spear coming out the side. It did not show any growth or any
