Can anyone tell based on this picture which Washingtonia type this big boy is here? It survived the two time snow occurences here this past winter in Augusta, GA. I have also seen other Washingtonias that survived without issue also. I have 4 new robustas I bought here and want to plant them near the brick house also to help them survive.

Robusta. They are the least cold hardy of the species, and start to show damage in the low 20's. If not killed,they easily replace a frozen canopy in a year.

Robusta.

Unless you source seed from Moapa, it's not pure filifera.
