Extreme winter blast came through Oklahoma

Year 6 for the sabal Mexicana. The smaller is sabal palmetto 4 year seedling (trap cylinder) all were wrapped this past Friday 1/23
OKC 7b. Not to often do we get 8-9” of snow and rarely does the snow stick around for days. Hoping to unbox the sabal Mexicana in a few days

That's a lot of work. Do you just leave it until March at this point?

Those C7 bulbs kick out some heat and can burn plant material when they come in contact, but I'm sure you know that. Curious about the PVC plumbing and what it's for?

for the robusta, yes. The sabals and windmills will be opened up in a couple days. Unless we get another extreme swing then they will just get frost cloth at times until March

yes, they do get warm for sure. Haven't had issues yet, and I try to keep them off the frost cloth. The PVC is just a drainpipe for the pool, that is hooked to the pool pup behind the palm tree
