I was able to force this color with 23 degrees but i don't think I’ll be able to maintain this look.

By the looks of it,they'll probably revert back to that ugly blue color... 🤷‍♂️😆 Not necessarily a bad thing.👍

Looks like a paler version of freeze damaged Caryota obtusa at the Huntington botanic garden’s after the big freeze of January 2007. 15-17 degrees FF.

I knew what this post was going to be haha. I had the beige ones last year. 23 is rough on them but usually survivable.

@PalmBossTampa that seems like a lot of burn for 23F.  Do you have thermometers in your yard to check exact temps?  Usually my yard is 2 to 4F colder than the nearby airport, at least on still nights.  That's due to the Urban Heat Island effect.  It doesn't happen on windy nights.

Anyway, the reason I was asking is that my three Bizzies had 22.5F and not too much damage.  Maybe it's just varying degrees of hardiness due to genetics.  Mine are very silver white normally, so theoretically they have some waxy protection from the cold.  Are yours normally greenish, blue-green, or silver-blue?

The wind made the difference this time.  23F is one thing, but couple it with 30-40MPH winds... 🥶
