For example, we know that there are surviving royals in the area circled in red.  Where would you draw the lines for queen palms, bismark palms, etc?

Royals extend much further west into the southern third of the neighboring county (Hidalgo, most of the McAlleen metro along US-83). Same with foxtails. Survival as far north as southern Edinburg 

Queens extend into coastal Corpus, a few stragglers further up the coast 

Quite a few Bismarckia in Galveston and the bay adjacent suburbs of Houston (Clear Lake Area)

There's a giant 20 or 30 page thread about this in the Cold Hardy Palms subforum, complete with pictures. 

 

Edit: it's 47 pages.

Yeah, it's a biggie.  Here is the link for anyone interested: https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/topic/67385-palmageddon-aftermath-photo-thread/

The bulk of the contents were also added to the latest version of the Cold Hardiness Master Data:

https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/topic/61358-0000-cold-hardiness-observation-master-data/

With the spreadsheet, it is easy to filter by event, Genus, species, location, etc.
