After deciding to cheap out on the wood this year, the new large 8ft tall palm box during a wind storm decided to tip over during a whole night in the single digits but thankfully we put the box backup. Unfortunately I did not wrap the palm with anything this year except 300 mini lights which i thought was overkill but i think it might save the palm. Anyhoo, im not sure if i lost it or not but the spear temp levels read 12f so hopefully it will survive? Any insight?

Probably ok.  The minis in calm air will create quite a bit of heat around palm
