Hi, can you tell me about your overall winter conditions, like did it go below 25F many times during the nights but did it warm up during the day because I live in Hungary where the wheter might be a little colder during the night (lower 20s) but usually it is above freezing during the day and I am not sure if I can leave them outside all winter

[@zonehardypalms1188]

I've had them outside overnight around 24F, but it was a dry cold and brief. Mine are in pots, so they aren't as cold tolerant as if they were in the ground. Low 20's are borderline for these palms. If your winters stay cold and wet for extended periods of time then they would not do so well. Kind of a problem where I live, so I have to babysit them in the winter. If the overnight freezes are dry and brief, then they shouldn't have too much of an issue, but I would try and protect them if the temp is going to drop under 25F.

Hey just bought one of these and they are about 8-9 years of age, 2-3 feet tall in a 25 Gal pot, was wondering how many times would you water em in a zone 13? Tropical Climate

[@zonehardypalms1188]

They’re very drought tolerant, so depending on how much rain you get in your climate, I would say about once a week. Tropical climates usually have enough humidity. I’ll water mine about twice a week when it’s really hot and dry during summer, but usually no more than that.

Hi can you tell me how many spikes from a bismarkia till I get a proper frond please I have had four on both of mine.

[@zonehardypalms1188]

It can vary, but usually I’ll get 5 or 6 strap leaves before the fan fronds come in. Even then they might only be slightly divided until they grow a bit bigger, usually once they form a small trunk.

Thank you very much I will be more patient, regards Frank
