A tale of two coconut leaves

[Matt in OC]

We had several nights of mid and high 30's here. The first coconut leaf is under the overhang. 

This one is not. 

Here's the whole palm.

As a bonus, here is my bottle Palm which I've had for two winters and may not be long for this world.

Throw it away....

I think they will both pull through.  You probably should apply some Copper Fungicide as a foliar spray to both of them.  Bonide makes a good organic Copper Fungicide.  It needs to be a Copper one though and not any of the other fungicides, since the Copper helps prevent bud rot in palms and helps them to recover from cold injury.  I wouldn't throw either of them out, at least not until June or July.  I have seen palms worse than your Bottle recover.

Same thing happens with mine. My bottle palm is looking like it got more damage than I was expecting it to get. I think an unexpected cold night got it.

But wait...

Haha, well obviously I don't venture beyond my garden in such gauche attire!

My bottle at the Vista garden saw 7 nights right at 31-32 (short duration)and still looks good. Granted mine is 6' tall might had to do something with that but it was still a box chain buy last year.

My bottle is looking equally burnt, but I have no doubts that it will come back strong.  Maybe I should have given it a little protection.  Last winter it showed almost no winter damage at all, but the jaboticaba I have next to it, was a bit burnt.  This year the jaboticaba has shown no winter stress whatsoever but the bottle is pretty burnt (The leaves from last winter).

My coconut is looking a bit burnt too.  I will post some pictures when I resolve the problems with my Windows 10 photos. This Windows 10 is buggy as hell!.  I am a little uncertain how well my coconut will do, but I have resolved not to cut off any of the burnt leaves until well into the summer when it is growing well again.  I'm a little worried it might do the same thing as a couple of Cyrtostachys renda I tried a couple years back.  They made it through the winter -- looking pretty ragged -- then slowly died...  Boy I would love to get ahold of the hybrid if I ever could!  I am considering trying the seaweed fertilizer.

My bottle took more damage than I thought it would. I threw a few light blankets over them a few nights but I think the damage was done the night before I tried protecting them. I slacked it again

 

My coconut got a bit of damage on the frond tips
