Doesn’t look like it got below freezing here. None of my freeze/frost indicator plants look like it got that cold. When I took my kids to school on Friday morning the car said 37 to 38 F there and back around sunrise. I know the car thermometers aren’t of the best scientific value but nothing looks froze around here so far. I guess bring on Monday night.1 point

My trachycarpus nainital has survived outside for many years since 2005 in freezing cold zone 6 Woodbury CT with heavier protection; I bought it in 2005 when it was mistakenly marketed as a TAKIL now that it is above the roof though, it has lost the house as a protection, and was severely defoliated last winter, but came back strong [this photo] this winter though, i have resorted to C9 lights so i dont lose it

I've got my potted plants in the garage. I will be losing my papaya tree and my fishtail palm, but they were always intended to be annuals. Nothing else in my landscape has me worried with 28F as the forecast low.1 point

Palermo was a bit of mixed bag. Still pockets of stunning ancient heritage, but unfortunately the city in general does appear to have lost its way. The botanical garden on the other hand was a pleasant surprise, with a fantastic variety of palm species. Also the most comprehensive collection of citrus trees I've ever seen, the majority of which were full of ripe fruit. Well worth a visit. Washingtonia robusta Church of St. Dionisio 14th century ruins Phoenix sylvestris Washingtonia robusta Not 100%, but I think this is Trachycarpus takil. Labelled Trachycarpus fortunei. Brahea armata Butia sp. Brahea edulis Trachycarpus martianus Jubaea chilensis Trithrinax campestris Rhopalostylis sapida Chamaedorea metallica Archontophoenix maxima Roystonea regia Chrysalidocarpus baronii Brahea decumbens Brahea brandegeei Brahea armata Chrysalidocarpus decaryi Trithrinax campestris Brahea aculeata Nannorrhops ritchiana Parajubaea torallyi Sabal maritima Dioon spinulosum Encephalartos lehmanni Chamaerops humilis var. argentea Howea forsteriana

Phoenix Roebelini love water and good drainage . As long as the pot is draining well and it gets protected during winter , it should be fine . It will take a while to rebound this time of year . I would not let it dry out completely , keep it watered regularly until just the top of the soil dries. Harry1 point

That does sound like classic transplant shock, especially if it was badly root-bound before. Palms really feel repotting stress, and moving it indoors adds another adjustment with light and humidity changes. As long as you keep watering steady but not excessive, skip fertilizer for now, and give it bright, indirect light, it should settle in. These things just take time with palms—sometimes a couple of months—while the roots recover and start working properly again.1 point

Picked this up at sale. It's a Maypan (no talls were available). Easily the biggest coconut I've ever seen. The basketball next to it is a full size, official 29.5" basketball.
