There's still.some green on the fronds but cant tell if its dead.
I only had it covered with plastic in -16f .

I don't have the most experience with palms, but I can imagine if the spear doesn't pull easily, your palm isn't dead...looks like a lot of green left on those petioles, best of luck to you!

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.

May-


if it doesnt pull after a few days of 60-70s you'll know its alright...............

Thanks we'll see what happens

I had two fronds pull. My main spear that never fully opened is still there and wont pull.and another frond is still there. I poured peroxide in it. Do I still have to do a trunk cut

Any ideas

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.

I have a sabal birmingham that only has a spear left but wont pull..its a pale grey color but solid so I hope it comes out of it.

Ok thanks

It's dead this sucks...
