Palm Tree Catastrophe 🥶

[@alexpesina6773]

Are you sure the Chinese fan palms are done for ? They are one of the best palms that recover from spear pull in my experience! Never know they could make a comeback

[@palmsrkool9476]

i definitely think many will come back....problem is people dont like the recovery time on these smaller ones when you can just pop a new one in it's place

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Following you and your plams. Great videos.

[@charlieduke6393]

P. Canariensis are a lot stronger than people think.

[@jessicamolina428]

Thanks for the video update - although sad- good to know it happens - even to the best of us ! Glad those other ones are standing their grounds!

[@electro-gaming4808]

Upstate NY: wanted to see if my Pindo was doing good and this was back in November and I was just about to cover it up along with my other palms spear came right out. Really sad about it but I do have a healthy washingtonia inside going to plant it there in the spring.

Ohh wie Traurig,ich schaue mir deine Palmen Videos sehr gerne an.Dieses mal macht es mich sehr traurig 😢Ich hoffe es kommen viele Palmen wieder. Grüße aus Deutschland

Love the Cypress Hill intro, sorry to see the damage. Here on the Treasure coast of Florida, we had a relatively cold duration event during the Christmas weekend. We're in one now this weekend as well. Not much damage but certain young cultivars of coconut like Fiji Dwarf were bronzed. I had a Heterospathe intermedia take major damage and a Guanabana got blasted but should come back. Zone bending is all relative. Here's to recovery on your end!!

[@rogerdickinson9335]

Some of those palms may well come back if you treat the spear holes with hydrogen peroxide and/or copper fungicide. I’ve had several windmills and washingtonias pull through after severe spear pull.

[@palmplanet]

Ouch, that’s rough to see, but as mentioned a number of those should recover if treated with peroxide or fungicide. Those palmettos at the beginning are stunning, wow! Thanks for the update.

[@tntropics]

On the palmetto at 4:00 and 4:55 did they not wrap over the lights? Spray fungicide at least monthly till spring

[@palmsrkool9476]

LED lights which dont do much

[@Ghost-dz4fl]

awful. when its super cold I gather dry leaves and pile them on my trees like a foot or so around the entire plant then cover them in blankets. I didnt lose anyhting this time around. You should try that. A trash bag of leaves per mid sized tree isnt the hardest to do. a few days of that wont hurt the plant. Im in washington state.

[@jiafeiqueen]

ik a year late but im assuming you put the leaves just on the ground since you can’t build up the leaves 3 ft high 😭

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

Damn man that cold snap kicked a lot of ass. I do think a bunch of those palms will come back to life. Sending palmy vibes your way. 🌴

[@keijuhl]

Here in GA outside Athens the native palms seemed to all perform really well along with Trachycarpus. Established Butias got various levels of some damage but should all survive.

[@Rocketman0407]

How are the Livestonas now?

[@palmsrkool9476]

Livistona that was established over a few years are coming back....one year olds are dead

[@vincenzecalzone8666]

Superb dronage at the start with the footage. Sorry to see all the losses man. The simple truth this winter all over: Nature 1 - Palmage 0.

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

Definitely superb drone skills

[@Ghostpants.]

love the drone footage

[@randykoch1807]

How do sago palms do you're way I live in Florida but I've seen them in South Carolina

[@palmsrkool9476]

Sago got burnt yellow :(

[@sabalkingoftexas]

Don’t give up on those sabals. Peroxide peroxide or daconil down the hole. They’ve come back from worse!

[@joshualowe1903]

Spear pull definitely doesn't mean it is dead. I have 30 palms of many varieties and have had many recover after spear pulls. Give them time and maybe some hydroden peroxide.

[@АрменМизорян]

How much cold it was?

[@palmsrkool9476]

13 degrees fahrenheit :(

[@АрменМизорян]

​@@palmsrkool9476 It is surprising that Butia Odorata died, but the Canarian survived, although the Canarian is much larger, I wonder what would happen to Fortune's Trachycarpus, perhaps they would not even have suffered at such a temperature, what you think?

[@leemaharg3788]

It's so heartbreaking to watch this video if you are a palm tree lover like myself, so many people are going through this right now after being caught out by how low and long the temperatures got ,I I was growing palms in the last two big freezes in the UK where I live ,1983 and 2010 ,and I think this one is probably just as bad if not worse than them ,I've lost all my washies and pheonix palms and probably all my cordylines and maybe even my dicksonia antartica tree fern 😥😢😭

[@gunterschmid5981]

Ohh das ist schlimm,welche Temperatur war bei Dir??Ich bin aus Deutschland. Alle meine ausgepflanzten 27 Palmen haben es überlebt.

[@BlakWiseCracker]

@@gunterschmid5981 He’s from China, also the floods in China was really bad for Palms. 😢

[@craigeslim7212]

What fungicide will you spray them with?

[@palmsrkool9476]

Any fungicide seem to work and peroxide

[@jamesdepugh7163]

I have one Livestonea about 3 feet tall no spear pull but it fried gold

[@davidirwin1549]

If these are Chinese fan palms - mine looks pretty bad as well and (my) baby Sabal Palmetto as well. Oddly, the Chinese Fan Palms are the only one's (of the outdoor Palm Family that are available for sale here at a road side stand that sells flowers, pumpkins, etc. They are only $19 for a good 3 gallon pot. Sure wish I could find a place to buy the more hardier Sabal Palms - the one's that are hard to get (Birmingham, Louisiana, McCurtain, etc.) - at gallon's or better (rather than "seeds" that take years to grow ) !

[@Simonsaysnumber2]

one of my washingtonias have dies and it got 20 here in south ga ao far the rest have no spear pull but the fronds are toast my big 10 ft sabel did goot trantplanted a year and a half ago so only time wil tell with the palms also my bananas fell to the ground

[@palmsrkool9476]

Im sorry to hear that :( that cold was brutal

[@Simonsaysnumber2]

@@palmsrkool9476 its fine at least no pipes froze or any thing

[@frantiseknovotny2674]

Maybe next time you will be prepared for that frost. You don't live in coastal California.

[@garciamario5436]

Sorry about the Palms my Mediterranean palms all fried and spear pulled and 2 small Pindos my medium windmills on have some toasted fronds here in Greensboro 7b

[@Yellowbellytropics]

Those poor palms 😢

[@chocolatechipslime]

I covered my cidp and it looks the same way except mine spear pulled

[@ceaseanddesist8036]

Don't give up just yet. Livestonas are well known for pretty much always survive spear pull. Get out that hydrogen peroxide or copper fungicide and clean out those holes good once every 2 weeks from now on untill spring.

[@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849]

I know the feeling, sorry

[@rdemm05]

Don't give up on them yet! Pour hydrogen peroxide into the crown of each palm to make sure any fungus development is killed off
