DreaminAboutPalms Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Finally stopped past the quality inn in Waco to check out the Filiferas there. Starting to produce seed as well. Clearly loving the dry heat. Half a dozen mature Sabal Mexicanas on property as well and too many volunteers to count. Sabal Mexicanas and washingtonias are popping up everywhere around 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collectorpalms Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 I was under the impression that the True Date Palms on Nasa Road in Clear Lake survived. Well forget that. There were at one time dozens of them. Then on the furthest east of Nasa Road one near the Hilton ( Infamous for the Dentist that Ran over in the Park lot over and over, you can see the dates in July 2002) they started to die around 2017. The very old 1980s survivors of The Hilton died, due to Date Palm Lethal Decline to https://www.texasagriculture.gov/RegulatoryPrograms/PlantQuality/PestandDiseaseAlerts/DatePalmLethalDecline/DatePalmLethalDeclineInformation.aspx It didn't reach the ones on the west end, but the cold took them out. 1 30 Year Zone Average 20F.

I seriously doubt it but who knows. I have learned that Sylvestris Dates survived the cold slightly better than True Dates in general. Canaries are the hardiest by far. But with the disease I wouldn't risk planting any dates anywhere near Houston. I hope living 90 miles is far enough away.... 1 30 Year Zone Average 20F.

necturus Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 I think Sylvestris are the best date for Houston, but unfortunately nearly all trunking Sylvestris that initially recovered from the freeze are now dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Cold spot in Alief (WSW Houston) near SH 6, things look much better inside BW8 or south towards in-town Sugar Land. Didn't expect Sugar Land to fare as well as it did, guess latitude was really the biggest factor in that freeze. I see plenty of sylvestris and dactyfilera (smaller palms, not the specimen Medjool types) even in colder areas in west Houston suburbs. There's a parking lot full of dactyfilera-type dates at a South Asian strip mall in Alief next to an apartment complex with dozens of large dead robusta (with only a handful of survivors).

That area has always been a cold sink and runs colder than eastern Katy. Here's a rough graphic 2 Jonathan Katy, TX (Zone 9a) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Just got back from a trip to Huntsville on my way I took pictures of some of the palm trees. I was surprised to see 8-10 very large and healthy Washingtonia robustas in the woodlands downtown area I thought everything had died . Don’t have any pictures unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
