Here is a pic from yesterday. I did not protect it this year.  

 

A bit off topic, but do you rent this out as a short term when your not there?

We don't rent it out.  We just use if for family.  My daughter and her family live nearby.

18F shouldn't hurt it.  More like 10F-12F or less

Huh, I should try one in that case.

Looks really good. Now just keep the trimmers away. Seems like 9 out of ten N.C. landscape companies insist on taking most of the leaves off when trimming.

Thanks! I won't be trimming it.  I'll let it naturally shed leaves.  That should work, right?

That's the natural way. Any green left in any leaf is food the palm uses for itself.

Here is the palm in September 2024. 

 

 

This is how palmettos should look imo.  Nice and full. 

Not a fan how many places will trim these down to only allowing the plant to have a few leaves. It restricts the plant’s ability to photosynthesize
