Don,
Maybe the golden can handle colder roots than the green mayan.
Fronds weren't touching the panels?

I bet it'll come back this summer on the patio with some serious heat, after all the growing point is tucked away in the center.
Those old leaves would've been cut off in a year or two anyway.

BoP new leaf is perfect, I cut off all my fried BoP leaves...forgot it would leave a big gaping hole in each stem

Thanks for the photos, Don!

Hey, let's try that garlic test...I'll start a new topic.
It certainly can't hurt.
Might make the house smell funny though

Garlic helps lots of plants. Your supposed to plant garlic by your roses to keep em healthy ( im assuming it keeps bugs away)..

Plus the smell is good.... no vampires LOL
