I saw you took a little hit

Whole yard unwrapped. A little gambling and being weather aware. Tougher to call with boxes. I can probably reprotect everything in a few hours for a couple days

@@tntropics You definitely hit spring much faster than I do. I do like your fast method. Hopefully I can get the Trachys free by the end of February.

Maybe if you get a tougher one

For sure

Yep

No goes in garage

@ looks really nice in a pot

Look for the short titled bye mule palm. I ended up cutting it

Thanks

Yep butia are pretty tough

@@tntropics They're also pretty fast growing I remember when you planted it it was not that big

@@house92537 ua-cam.com/video/zVPLL05Q6Ho/v-deo.html

Yes las few days have been bad

spectabilis and bissetii -10F ua-cam.com/video/do5iT9HUiI4/v-deo.html

I hear ya!

Yes thanks for the idea.

Wow we got 4F and so far my minors look ok.

@@tntropics Fingers crossed we both come out good... Your minors survived the negatives with some damage totally uncovered so at the end of the day I'm sure they will be ok. I might have to clip out some damaged fronds but I'll take that over totally losing the palm.

I was gonna add that I know your mainly a palm guy but I also have 3 Southern Live Oaks/Quercus Virginiana planted. They have been in the ground for over three years now and 2 of them are approaching 11 feet tall. .. They sailed through that arctic blast without a hiccup. They did drop all their leaves but leafed back out in Spring like nothing happened. Most arborist or tree experts will tell you that you can't grow coastal live oaks in TN, but I think they are wrong. Most literature says they are a zone 8A tree. There is a large one growing on MTSU's campus next to the Starks agricultural building. It looks like it was plucked off the coast of Florida with it's low spreading limbs. The only thing missing is the Spanish moss.

@@johnb2740 That's awesome and I thought about planting one a couple years ago but don't really have a good spot. I knew about the one at MTSU. If you're ever in the area give me a shout and stop by I'm pretty close to MTSU

@tntropics Thanks!... Will do... I'd love to see some of your palms in person.

It can be tricky wrapping them in a way they will stay dry when beginning. Rain getting in there and staying wet could cause a little issue. No sun is not much of a problem if temps are cool, lets say days generally under 70F. Without pictures I can only recommend how I would suggest beginners wrap for longer term similar to these 2 videos. ua-cam.com/users/shortsaDrn8UM2e0M ua-cam.com/video/iV3d1bg2wa0/v-deo.html

You are right to some degree although most cold hardy palms can take days below freezing with no ill effects if they don't hit minimum temps. We have had a week below freezing on needle palms and S. minors unprotected

@@tntropics Good to hear! I'm in Northern NJ USDA Zone 7a/7b (border runs in my town) and in 2023 I planted 5 palms to begin my 'zone pushing' palm hobby. 2 Sabal minors. 1. Saw palmetto (green var.) and 2 needles. They all sailed through their first winter. But last year we never had more than 3 days below freezing. This year we had 5 or 6 days in a row below 32F. So Im worried. Luckily the absolute low this winter was 5F... exactly like last year, which they all survived with absolutely no damage. But the sustained 20s and teens has me worried.

@@mickobrien3156 S. minor no worries from what you said, needle ua-cam.com/video/-zRcyYNrRNM/v-deo.html , saw palmetto can be prone to spear pull everywhere because of slow growth. My minors and needles have been through way worse than what you stated. Here is Nashville which is nearby but warmer than me. I don't have access to local week chart www.wunderground.com/history/weekly/us/tn/nashville/KBNA/date/2024-1-15

@@tntropics Thanks for the reply. I'm mostly worried about the Saw palmetto. I was least worried about the needle, so it's interesting you say they're prone to spear pull, especially when they're young. I'll keep you posted in spring how my 5 palms did.

And to think some places in Louisiana hit that as well

I’m in OH and we got -12, how come you guys stayed so warm?

@ I looked at tropical tidbits and the gfs model showed most of the cold went around. heck, some of western michigan up on lake michigan didn’t even fall below 10°F during it

Holy %#%#

@ Exactly what I was thinking when I saw the temperature

It definitely means it's reacting with something. So not 100% fungus for sure but if you have suspicion of fungus I would say it was likely.

4F here too.

My “micro climate” lol was a balmy 11f here in western nc last night. Very good info . The worst mishaps / mistakes I’ve made have been cold with moisture related. So I prepare best I can but I’m sure to most of those folks this was a rare occurrence. I hope it’s not to bad. Great info Allen as usual. !!

@@MikeSmith-ke8dg That's still pretty rough for you

Yes a tarp is fine for up to 1-2 weeks if you start dry. It can hold moisture and mold in there if not checked over a longer term.

Wow sorry

Thanks

Yep right now the temps stink

​@@tntropics Yep It looks like next week for us, Temperatures are going to go back to average, 40s in the days and 30s/high 20s in the Night

Sounds good

100 mini INCANDESCENT lights with frost cloth wrapped in mummy style with fronds tied up should do the trick on a 3-4 foot palm. During this rain event you could put a garbage bag over top to keep water out just don't leave it past Thursday. If you are worried get a wireless thermometer to stick in there www.walmart.com/ip/AcuRite-Wireless-Digital-Thermometer/45810751?classType=REGULAR&athbdg=L1102&adsRedirect=true ua-cam.com/video/5vP4ecPWkGE/v-deo.html

They can be wrapped for long periods 2-3 months if dry

Yep

-9F whew that's a tough one.

Yep

It was wrapped.

@ okay thats really sad 😔

Thanks for the support!

Even IF I could build a 25 foot box you can't bend upward fronds the size of your wrist

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Awesome take a look and my garden tour playlists

Yep

Thanks yep it did

Thanks

In the video are first Trachycarpus fortunei, then needle palms then Sabal Birmingham

Thanks

It's already cut. Took about a hour to cut it. too big to dig up and relocate without equipment

@tntropics ahh that's sad but understandable. I've got one indoors right now I'll be planting this spring in western kentucky. It will be right up by the house and im going to be boxing it every winter so fingers crossed I get some good years out of it! All my other palms just get frost cloth when severely cold (trachys/sabal minor varieties)

@@BEadventures71 When it gets big you can't tie up the fronds except middle ones already pointed up and the fronds are so tall it is hard to box.
