Going to take a day trip down to Jacksonville soon.

Anyone know of any nursuries that sell Acrocomia aculeata or Totai in the area?

[Las Palmas Norte]

Earth Works might have what you're looking for. They stock a large selection. Might be worth checking out if you're there anyway.

Let us know how the Queen palms sailed through the freeze. If I remember it got down to the low 20s.

Everytime I've been to Earth Work they only had the more popular landscape palms, nothing exotic.  Probably holds true for most of the other nurseries in Jville as well.  Orlando or further south might be another story...

Not even sure if @edbrown_III has this in his collection.  Maybe George Baker knows, not sure he's on here but I know he's in the FB group

Tried contacting Ed, never got a reply.

Here in downtown Sav most of the queens have visible damage, but are already showing green new growth.  The two planted right downtown on river street don't seem phased at all, neither do any of them that I've seen so far on Tybee island.  So I'd imagine the Jax queens are doing even better

My Uruguay  queen was not damaged by the 20F we had.

Thank you for the update.  I'm glad the Queens are doing well . It seems to be that they're pretty cold hardy in the Jacksonville area.

That's amazing !! Most Queens would look like a fried chicken at that temperature.

Does it ever produce viable seeds? Very interested in cold hardy palms that can make it in z8a/b in South Alabama

Do the Uruguay queens have thicker trunks?

[Laaz]

Not that I have seen.
