Low temperature recorded in the garden was 34f this Winter. Nearby more tropical palms and plants show no damage. This Butiagrus has shown some damage to cold before, but is otherwise healthy and grows good.

That's crazy!  I thought my juvenile Butyagrus spear-pull at 27°F was bad!

Hmm. Two thoughts.

1. It's not the species you think it is.

2. This is not cold damage.

That's a major red flag. I'd be very very scared of Fusarium

This tree was personally raised by me, and I do know who the parents are. This is the second time the cold damage has been noticed on this Butiagrus over the years.

At least it's not an annual event!  :) Did you do the cross yourself or just grow it up?
