I am probably going to move from the Palm Springs Ca, Desert area, where our normal winter lows rarely get into the 30's, and don't go below 30 with out a rare cold snap coming through. Our lows are for very short periods in the early morning as it warms up quickly when the sun comes up ( winter Nov/Dec day time temps in the 70's, and higher through rest of year ). Its possible I will move to an area where winter lows are lower, and last longer through the night with lower winter day time highs. Soooo... My question is... I have in 15G, and a couple in 24" box.... 5 L. Alfredii, 1 L. Inermis, 4 L. Nasmophyla, and still want L. Victoriae. What kinda lows are realistic for these 4 species ? :unsure:

I appreciate any help !

Thanks

Dave

The only one I have experience with is L. victoriae. I had a few in Melbourne, Australia, where the temp went right down to freezing occasionally; they didn't seem to be affected aside from a little spotting.

Anyone.... help..?

Dave,

you need a copy of 'Palms for Southern California'. It lists minumum lows that each species will take before frying from the cold. Livistona australis, chinensis & decipiens are rated down to 20 degrees F. I think you can obtain a copy of the book from the PSSC website- www.palmssc.org/. Perry
