I have 3 of these and while the newest fronds remain green, the older ones quickly brown. Never look as attractive as yours. Sad. I think they are too exposed, not enough shade?

I contacted them a few months ago and they responded that they are wholesale and only sell to the trade 😔 -

I am too. Mines look ok and my neightbors do too, he didnt cover. I think their cellular structures can withstand to our lowest we've had so far. Last year when we had 18 I lost one of em. So 20s is really their limit.

Those should be pretty common at your local nurseries when late spring summer gets here? -

My queens are still mostly green. Most of the small queens I've seen around town are still mostly green too 😝 I'm looking forward to the repopulation of queen palms. It's looking way too much like Myrtle Beach around here lately

many nights low to mid 20s. No freezing precipitation though. Minimal spotting.

Those are done. I had some that grew from small $10 palms to that size in one year that had had 3x the fronds so they were somewhat established. I protected and they looked better than these after the cold and they died. As far as I'm concerned unless we get 3-4 warm years (ie average) than they aren't worth even trying.

So. FL. Micro climate created by proximity to GulfStream
SubTropicRay replied to bubba's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATE
Agree that this event closely resembled December 1989. It resembled 1989 in that the focus of the cold was eastern Florida. In 2010, the focus was Florida's west coast. The overall severity was more 2010 than 1989. Had this been 1989 severity, you would have fallen below freezing on a boat offshore Your example points out how limited the Gulf stream's effects can be in more severe events. Even though it's not right on the beach, I wouldn't call PBI (2 miles from the beach) an inland location. PBI would typically be spared the coldest temps as much for its coastal location as its southern latitude. Not so this time. In these types of events, the strip of landscaping spared by the Gulfstream can be breached by standing at the beach and throwing a rock back towards land. If you weren't seaside or blocks from the Atlantic, you likely experienced temperatures closer to the PBI reality. -

That is what I like about most palm folks . Quite easy to transplant in my experience . @iDesign , that is a nice gesture. Harry -
Out and about in the garden
Harry’s Palms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
A very nice stroll . I had a friend that lived there years ago . When I asked how he liked it , he said “ lovely , except most of the critters can kill ya” . It seems you are having no problem cohabitating. Thank you ,Harry -
ID Ptychosperma multi trunker?
Harry’s Palms replied to DoomsDave's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
Dave , that is a beauty. I planted one in my courtyard when I move here . It didn’t last the winter here, of course there was no canopy at that time. Harry Edit: they were much more common in nurseries in the 90’s . I got mine at a nursery and kept it in my green house for years until I moved here. It seems they were as common as C. Lutescens back then . I don’t see them at all any more. -
2026 2026 Florida Palmageddon Observations and Damage Photo Thread
Hombre de Palmas replied to idontknowhatnametuse's topic in FREEZE DAMAGE DATA
I am definitely going for super hardy and scaling way back. I also will stop irrigating to save money as city water has gotten increasingly expensive and I do not want to put in a well. I'm getting on now and had begun to think how I might scale back because when I sell the house most people would not be interested in maintaining a jungle. I was out yesterday hauling out corpses and was struck by the fact that my zone 9 plants suffered greatly and unfortunately the damage seems to grow by the day. Along with the lack of rain, possible hurricanes, and cold outbreaks (far beyond what I thought was probable in my lifetime) I sadly have decided less is more. -
