Nice new S.Lou leaf,this palm was left uncovered
over winter and saw at least -10F (-23C) and probably
over a months worth of lows under 10F (-12C)
there were a few other Sabal(Brazoria,McCurtain) and Needle palms,
all the Sabal came back amazingly!

Jim, do you mean that you didn't protect the Sabal Louisiana at all?

TerdalFarm · Post by **TerdalFarm** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 1:46 pm

Yeah, my question. Do let us know more about Sabal.

Hoping KrisK listens in about 'Lou" but I'm excited about McCurtain especially.

7 Sabal 2 Needle

1 Needle had a cover(no heat)

Wow. If you had asked me, I'd have said the Sabal would be dead if uncovered And likely if covered and not heated.

I'm guessing the McCurtain would have survived too if uncovered. I'm going to have to get me a S. Louisiana.

I'm pretty unimpressed with needle palms in this area. I've started protecting mine from moisture as soon as freezing precipitation starts.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 10:51 am

Yea,they all survived.
McCurtain having its best year.

I just put mine in the ground this year.

Hey Jim,

do you think the Lou would've survived if it had had a trunk? It seems like my Yucca Gloriosas do fine in the winter until they get a trunk.

Funny you ask,NO WAY.

That is what saved them,the Needle palms
all had growth point above ground.

Lol I just had to ask.

hardyjim · Post by **hardyjim** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 9:57 pm

Theres a stretch in Jan/15 with 4 days not
above 25F and an avg low of -9F.

TerdalFarm · Post by **TerdalFarm** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 9:51 am

Wow. Was there at least a snow layer to insulate themn during that long cold stretch?
