We just had 3 inches of snow in Houston last week. Temps got down to 17. We had center fronds wrapped ( these  are giant palms). Is there anything to out in soil to make sure they survive? Prior to freezing, i did water the palms and gave them moon juice. Worried about my trees.

 

thank you

    You could do a preventative treatment of copper fungicide in the crown.  Sometime in March if we continue to have warm weather a palm fertilizer well help them grow out of their funk if they're in one.  That's about it I'd say.

    One other thing if the fronds start to brown off, don't cut them unless they are 100% dead including the petioles.  If the palms are damaged they will rely on the nutrients in those damaged and older leaves to help them recover.

    Agree here. A prophylaxis treatment is better than a wait and see.
