I left some  lights on  for that festive look . Once it fills out this summer it should look pretty cool .

Thanks , 

I had a mild winter but for 23rd of December with a low of 11F , and the 24th with a High of 28F and a Low    of 6F . The next 2 nights had Lows of 17F and 15F .

To sum it up ,  those 4 night's Lows and 1 day's low High were the only really cold period all winter . There were no other teens all winter .

Usually it looks somewhat full enough to be respectable in May . 

Thanks

Thanks 

It's frond hardy to 23F so that 6F on Christmas Eve was going to zap all the green on the fronds and petioles . All that green you see is mainly new growth from a mild February and early March .

Thanks , it's a pretty easy protection method , and it's worked well for 6 out of the 11 years I've needed to use that protection method .

That’s about the same as Dallas this winter. Hit 11 twice, but only 17 days below freezing in total. 
 

and since December 1st have had 38 days about 70, and 65 days above 60
