    I can surely recommend Jubaea Chilensis , it survived a prolonged day and night freezing period of several days down to -9 degrees Celsius here in Belgium.

      Jubaea is my favorite palm. Unfortunately, it does not like the heat and humidity of Tennessee and the south/southeast in general. They grow much better in Europe and the northwest UnitedStates. I have lived and tried Jubaea in both areas- much better in Seattle, where the are some decent size specimens. The best in the US are in the San Francisco Bay Area of California

    Your palms look amazing. I have all the same palms as you in zone 7a also except my mule is still in a pot. Cold hardiness has so many variables like wet or dry, soil
    Drainage, sun or shade etc. I would recommend to protect all your palms the 1st 3 years so they get established well and to mount some of the palms to
    Help with drainage will help with their survival

    I have 2 pindo palms and love them they are very hardy. I live in east Texas and they both survived 2 degrees back in Feb of 21' when we had an artic blast for 5 days. They were both covered but still had a lot of damage from the cold. They both lost all their fronds / turned completely brown. Both went through spear pulls and I treated them with hydrogen peroxide for about 6 weeks or so. By Summer they completely recovered and were thriving again. I highly recommend it especially here in Texas.

      Thanks! That's a really great lineup for 7a. Check my videos for protection on the Trachy. The needles might need protecting if they are small for 1-2 years as they can spear pull until established. Try to beef them up this year with a good fertilizer in a month after planting. I have a fertilizer video soon

    • @tntropics
      @tntropics  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks. it goes in the garage under 32F and is watered every 2 weeks. I have 4' fluorescent tube grow lights in there but they can do somewhat ok without anything. it needs to be brought out early and possibly sun acclimated over a week or 2 or brought out when cloudy rainy to prevent sunburn in spring. I like the potted Trachy pretty good because they can stay out so much longer down to 25F or so which doesn't sound like much but end up being a month in fall and a month in spring.

      If it's the current usda zone 6a in IL you will probably have to protect both. Small needles need protection for a couple years till they can take down to -10F. S. minor will do better with spear pull but need protecting under 5F for best results. Both will need to be located within 3' of a south facing house wall for best outcome.

Other than that looked pretty good. With your summer heat you might consider planting in morning sun/afternoon shade if possible otherwise sun will be ok with ample water. Protect when small if temps look to go under 21F until the palm gets a full sized trunk and is growing 10+ fronds/year and you will be good. A winter like 2018/2019 would endanger a small palm and might hurt fronds on a larger one. Overall you are pretty good to go though if you use common sense.
