This will be the third growing season in the ground for this Butia x Jubea and I wrapped it last year, provided the same type of protection.. basic C9 around the trunk and growth point, frost cloth on top, and hoping for the best.  Last year, it had very little damage but we had a shorter duration.  This year, we had a nearly 90 hour freeze, and 9.9f ultimate low... 

The growth point is perfect (minus some damage from me putting a C9 too close to a petiole) but the rest is spotless.  Some damage on outer fronds, and likely wind damage, or dryness... It's raining now, so if it acts like my other palms in the ground, it will look much better by tomorrow.  Overall.. this is a HUGE success!

hah!  I just am happy i don't lose 100% of last seasons growth.  This palm grew so much this last year, put on so much size and I was going to be heartbroken to lose that... I'd say I accomplished my mission, and learned some things along the way.... like not to leave the lights on for too long when there is a good sun, and could fry the one side lol..
