Houston Christmas freeze casualties and surviors

[Little Tex]

Ill start with the non-palms

For warning I wass out of town so nothing was protected.

This elephant ear kicked it as expected

Gwbop is toast, good thing they're cheap.

Meyer lemon is still out, no new growth

Persian lime is doing great

Ok now palms,

The spear pulled on the queen, golfball for size.

Pygmy dates are done for. The only hope was a little bit of green

robusta #1 did ok, i just marked it.

Robusta 2 is dead

Livistona is ok too so are her nieces and nephews

I'm amazed your lime is still going. My 2 m tall sour orange froze back to the base and its in the ground.

Been there, earned the right to cry?

So sad to see.

Both of these should come back - give them some time.  I had both recover unprotected in February 2021 from 9°F.  Phoenix roebelenii also might come back - I had a neighbor who had one out of a triple like yours come back from 9°F but it didn't show any life until June or July 2021.  If your lemon was seed-grown it might recover although chances are less in a container.  If it's grafted you'll probably get new growth from the root stock if anything.  Just treat them as if alive for a few more months until you know for sure.

Same I thought the Meyer was hardier then Persian limes, I wasn't even planning on planting it bc I thought it wouldn't make it!, Maybe Ill plant it in the spring.

I think the elephant ear will, The GWBOP rotted out, and had a fungal infection, ill just leave it, I also forgot to mention my maurelli banana turned to literal mush.
