growing the impossible in my zone 5b?
Thanks. I think if it survives I will never have to worry about it dying . I only had plastic covering the spear so it wouldn't receive moisture. The ground around the trunk did get wet and solid frozen so thats why I was worried. If its still alive when can i expect to see some growth?. My temps are in the upper 40s and low thirtys at night.

Try not to overthink it. I think you did the right first aid treatment. If it's not pulled, leave it alone. By May/June, it'l take off. I have the same situation with a Sabal minor. Spear is solid and fronds are burnt, but alive. Alive is all that matters.
