Ugly but alive
I picked up all my palms today out of the unheated storage.of 9 I have 4 left..not a good ratio but what can you do.
Silver med fan..as stated ugly but alive spear is solid
7 gallon cape hat..pulled
Sabal " birmingham" spear is ok fronds are fried
Windmill looks best of them all some leaf tip browning but ok
Sabal Minor "blue pot special" 2 in this pot one pulled the other did not
RIP to a green med fan, needle in the ground, the cape Hat, Butia and a Waggie. I will replace the Waggie the rest are compost..might get another Cape Hat. All might spear pull later on but there alive for now.

Oh Mike, that hurts. How awful, especially losing the green Med.
Fingers crossed the rest don't pull.

Had two Blue pot Needle Palms both died after first year in the ground, where the 3rd one I had from Jungle Music lived on.

2 years ago I had a smaller 5 gal blue pot Trachy and Pindo (Monrovia I believe). Both toast... Not a big fan of Monrovia in general, even for zone friendly plants.

Not that I've bought 100's of palms but seem to have much better luck buying from independents where palms were germinated and grew from seedlings in somewhat of a colder climate close to what I experience.
Stuff from Steve Anderson has been rock solid, as well as Jungle Music.
Just ordered from Chilly Palm Tree for the first time, so will see what that product is like.

Thats the sad part I got the cape hat and the waggie from steve and I know he sells top notch palms. The birmingham I got from him is the only one alive. I also agree that getting the palms from someone who grows in a colder area is best. no cold hardy palm that has lived its life in south Florida is going to make it in my winter no matter what color pot its in.sashaeffer wrote:Not that I've bought 100's of palms but seem to have much better luck buying from independents where palms were germinated and grew from seedlings in somewhat of a colder climate close to what I experience.

All of potted palms died except the one my Brazoria Palmetto was the only survivor. All windmills died outside except for one lucky one. All sabal palms lived but still waiting on the Brazoria and other cabban palms.
Nobody panics when people plant normal trees because its part of the plan... if someone plants a Palm EVERYONE LOSES THERE MINDS!
