Disappointed in my mules


Nicole Milner

Recommended Posts

I wanted so much for my mules to make it through the texas freeze but they look like there is no hope. A lot of money spent for 1 month of enjoyment. The green that is new growth has a lot of yellowing. I wish there was someone local that I could pay to guide me. So disappointed.40830A04-6F8C-4B1E-824B-9E00CB7BAEE3.thumb.jpeg.ebce2e871ea3b9911787462f8ee5bec2.jpeg

Part of the problem is that they were planted...during winter. They did not have nearly enough time to establish themselves before the freeze.

If they are still growing then they might be fine. What was your low temperature?

Hello again, it's your neighbor

Your mules are fine, will just look bad for a few months (just try to ignore the brown). Pushing any growth is a very good sign, the first new leaf or two might be damaged but the palms should be good to go from there. Mules grow fast once the heat returns. 

I think you posted in the main forum a few weeks ago...have some patience and faith 🙂

Where are these located and how low were the temps ?

Palms not just a tree also a state of mind

Hi y’all. Thank you. I’m very new to palms and only want the best for them. I have new growth on all 3 but the growth is coming out yellow. Any ideas? Is there something I can feed them to help nourish before I fertilize? See pic of yellow growth

I think my low temp was 14ish. I can’t really remember.

If the new growth is coming out, thats all the matters. Fertilizing now would increase new growth which is not what you want to do during winter. I would fertilize immediately as soon as we reach March, which is what i plan to do. My Queens look like trash right now!
