Last week I was in north FL and spotted this Phoenix canariensis growing at a house in a rural area near Rochelle. This is just south of Gainesville. Probably saw temperatures in the upper teens on multiple nights. Looks to be growing back strongly but looks so stunted right now.

Alot of them look like that here too, including mine. After they fry, they wilt over or break off anyway.

Although that looks bad, to me it's better than seeing the decaying fronds, and they are growing back quickly.

I would have painted it orange and charged people to come and admire my prize winning pineapple.

It looks like the local tree hackers (pruners) got to it. But I think that's even too drastic for them.

The green leaf to leaf base ratio is closer to a true pineapple than any other "pineapple palm" out there!
