    @DreaminAboutPalms How tall was the Washingtonia before it was cut to the ground? Did it have a clearly defined trunk?

    You mean Dallas had a handful of Washingtonia palms that survived February 2021 AND December 2022? Wow! Which kind of Washingtonia are the few survivors?

    I'm just a neurodivergent Middle Tennessean guy that's obsessively interested in native plants (especially evergreen trees/shrubs) from spruces to palms.

    These palms are post 2021, but there are a good amount of mature washingtonias that survived both freezes

    Were they California, Mexican or hybrid?

    Hybrid mostly. Pure filiferas are rare

    That's good! California fan palms are somewhat more cold-hardy than Mexican fan palms, but CFPs also need a hot climate to thrive that MFPs don't necessarily have to have. I'd imagine a hybrid would combine both strengths.
