Coconutty hybrid

[Tropicdoc]

I thought my bp x pjc was (though burnt) still looking extra coconutty this evening

Frost burnt? A long ways down (latitude) to take a hit. Will this outgrow the damage this year?

[Tropicdoc]

We had a 100 year record snowfall this winter…..

[Tropicdoc]

Yes it should outgrow this. It’s put on 4 new fronds this spring

Lookin good despite the snow!

Amazing! How cold did it get?

[Tropicdoc]

18 F

Most likely an ephemeral event? Too much of that would have outright killed it.

[Tropicdoc]

It’s seen 18 before but that snow was crazy.

We will NEVER see snow like that again in my lifetime.

weve had it rough here in supposed 9a/9b

in the past 4 years we have taken a direct hit from 2 major hurricanes and have had 2 8b winters

Looks like 20f the following night nearby. 

So not too ephemeral. 

Amazing!

Haha. What has you so convinced. If one lives long enough, the reality of "never" becomes apparent.

[Tropicdoc]

I know right? Never say never. I’m almost 50 and we get a dusting of snow once every 10 years maybe. This was almost a foot!

We need a good closeup of the trunk 😎

[Tropicdoc]

Here you go.

orchid in the boots for tropical effect.

it hasn’t gone to a smooth trunk yet 

[Las Palmas Norte]

A smaller palm may not have survived that event. Do these ever achieve a boot free trunk?

[Tropicdoc]

I think so 

see “Alberto” in Brazil’s posts

I live near Atlanta. Pretty amazing that the I10 corridor got hit worse than us. To make matters worse, it didn't head straight east out to sea. It tracked up I95, too!

[Tropicdoc]

Recovery as of today

Looking good!
