Needle Palm<\/b> \u2013 Rhapidophyllum hystrix<\/i> \u2013 Bush type palm cold hardy to -10 degrees, zones 5-10.<\/p>\n

Canary Island Date Palm<\/b> \u2013 Phoenix canariensis<\/i> – Canary Island Palms are cold hardy to 15 – 18 degrees.<\/p>\n

Texas Sabal Palm <\/b>\u2013 Sabal texana, mexicana<\/i> \u2013 Texas Sabal Palms are cold hardy to 16 – 18 degrees<\/p>\n

\nMediterranean (European) Fan Palm (left), California Fan Palm<\/p>\n

Mediterranean (European) Fan Palm<\/b> \u2013 Chamaerops humilis<\/i> \u2013 Mediterranean Fan Palms are cold hardy to 5 – 15 degrees<\/p>\n

California Fan Palm<\/b> \u2013 Washingtonia filifera<\/i> \u2013 California Fan Palms are cold hardy to 15 degrees<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"
\nWindmill Palm (left), Pindo Palm<\/p>\n

Windmill Palm<\/b> \u2013 Trachycarpus fortunei<\/i> \u2013 Windmill Palms are cold hardy to 5 degrees<\/p>\n

Pindo Palm<\/b> \u2013 Butia capitata<\/em> \u2013 Beautiful blue-green palms are cold hardy to 12 – 15 degrees<\/p>\n

\nMexican Fan Palm (left), Queen Palm<\/p>\n

Mexican Fan Palm<\/b> \u2013 Washingtonia robusta<\/i> \u2013 Mexican Fan Palms are cold hardy to 18 degrees Don’t plant above zone 9 without special protection. W. filifera<\/i> (California Fan Palm, above) is more cold hardy.<\/p>\n

Queen Palm<\/b> \u2013 Syagrus romanzoffiana<\/i> \u2013 Queen Palms are cold hardy to 20 degrees<\/p>\n

The temperatures listed above are estimates.The organic program gives plants 4-5 degrees additional protection in many cases, plus preventative measures for cold protection can be used giving palms and other trees more cold protection.<\/p>\n

\n

Q<\/b>: I have a variety of palms and they took a hard hit with the hard freezes recently. I had the trunks wrapped before the first hard freeze and they are still wrapped. When should they be unwrapped and what about pruning and fertilizer to bring them back?<\/p>\n

A<\/b>: The hardy palms don’t have to be wrapped at all. In your case, I would probably remove the wrapping because it really doesn’t protect the tropical palms anyway.<\/p>\n

March is the time to apply organic fertilizer and any of the locally available choices will be fine. Cut the brown leaves off, they are dead and won’t come back. Hopefully your plants aren’t damaged too much. If you have to replant, the choices that didn’t even have cosmetic damage include sabal, Pindo, needle, Japanese windmill and Mediterranean palms.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
