PalmTreeDude Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 So far we got down to 23 degrees F. All of the palms (of course) are fine. Some get pretty big over the summer, especially my needle palm, it was covered by the bananas, and now that I can see the while palm, it got really big, much bigger than it looks in the pictures. 6 PalmTreeDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmTreeDude Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) My pindos, one is really small and in the middle of the yard. (I know, it is not looking to good due to neglect, if it survives the winter I am digging it up and putting it somewhere else in the Spring) Edited November 23, 2018 by PalmTreeDude 4 PalmTreeDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmTreeDude Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Beat up Mediterranean Fan Palm. 2 PalmTreeDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmTreeDude Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 My large number of Sabal palmetto seedlings from a seed stalk. I basically threw them everywhere. This will be their second winter, some more popped up over the summer. 3 PalmTreeDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PalmTreeDude Posted November 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Protection: Needle Palm - None. Pindos - Only on the coldest nights. Sabal palmetto - None (also, there are simply far too many to protect). Mediterranean Fan Palm - Only on the coldest night, I am debating whether or not I should protect it at all this winter, if I don't and it dies, I will replace it with a Saw palmetto or Sabal minor. 1 PalmTreeDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henoh Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 Nice needle palm. Chamaerops will need some kind protection for recovery in next growing season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmatierMeg Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Needle looks great. All your palms will benefit if you remove all turf/weeds in an 18" to 24" circle around each plant and applying mulch 2-3" deep. Mulch will conserve moisture, stifle weeds and help insulate roots of all your palms. And they will look better, too. A few bags is all you need. 2 Meg Palms of Victory I shall wear Cape Coral (It's Just Paradise) Florida Zone 10A on the Isabelle Canal Elevation: 15 feetI'd like to be under the sea in an octopus' garden in the shade.

NC_Palms Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I would protect your med fan to strengthen it for the spring. It unfortunately looks weak. Zone 8a Greenville, NC Zone 8b/9a Bluffton, SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It unfortunately looks weak. This is a palm I was going to "let go," which is something that I really don't like doing but my yard is getting crowded and I have no room inside for it at the time. But I am not sure about it. It has been there for a long time and I did not protect it last winter. I may protect it this winter and dig it up next Spring, although I am not sure how well they transplant.
