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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

I would protect your med fan to strengthen it for the spring. 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.
