The bit that disappointing is your killing rare palms, having seeds that are so hard to find in cultivation, you finally find them and then you kill them in the cold.

That’s palm growing they are one of the most climate sensitive plants around, so tempermental!!!

Those of us here in Central Florida empathize - especially after this February cold blast. 🤦‍♂️

Better luck on the next go-round, Richard.

Thanks one can only try. I have found far more palms tolerant of the cool conditions, just by giving it a try. Research I guess into cool tolerant new varieties available now. With unknown varieties of palms, being tested for cool tolerant conditions.

The odds for giving it a try are pretty good and in the growers favour. Finding new varieties for the garden pushing boundaries.

Doing my bit for palm conservation!
