My palm got torched on the leaflets but there’s no spear pull and the actual frawnds are still green. The little palm however looks fine. I protected with blankets and frost cloth on both although I ordered more for the upcoming cold, also found out on radiational cooling nights I’m on the bottom of a hill on my road so it gets a lot colder mainly where the big one is. Planning to wrap the big one which heating blanket. I still cut off the useless completely fried tips off some of the frawnds
