Chinese fan palm in its feelings. With pics

[Jtee]

Planted 3 weeks ago. Seen below freezing 4 times. I believe lowest was 28. Do you think it’s just in shock in its new hole?  What would y’all do?

I envy your soil... looks like maybe you had a frost combined with a freeze and a not hardened off plant. They will fry in the sun as young plants as well.

Looks good to me.  Mine used to get that type of damage. Always recovered. You "should" have protected it, seeing that it is a new planting..These rebound after exposure to 28F.

When i first planted my livistona, I considered it temporary while my surrounding sabal minors grew.  It was cold hardier than i thought it would be.  Now it has gotten kinda large.

 

(I'm not sure if it survived, ice. snow. 9F, thaw, freeze,

I agree with you.  Livistona chinensis is often called "Chinese Fan (or Fountain) Palm" and Trachycarpus fortunei is often called "Chinese Windmill Palm" so it can get a bit confusing.  For future reference, Trachycarpus fortunei does not have thorns on the leaf petiole but Livistona chinensis does.

Here is my Livistona chinensis after consecutive nights of 9°F and 13°F.  Looks pretty dead, right?

 

 

But from this angle you can see one leaf somehow escaped with minimal damage and there is still some green in the main spear which is solid and intact, so it will come back.

they can come back like a perirenal if the trunk dies

Palms don't like being planted in winter.  It's sulking a bit.
