Suprise frost got my spindle palms

Post by Cali-wanna-b » Fri May 11, 2007 3:38 pm

Hi all!

I had my two 6' Spindle palms on my deck and we had a suprise frost. All of the new fronds are burnt, fried, gone. The older ones are OK, but damaged. Any hope for these guys to recover?

Has there been any growth since?

Yes, a new spear is starting to push up on one of them. The other had just opened a new frond when it got cooked so it might be a bit early to see another spear on it. We are expecting another frost tonight so I have put them into the intensive care unit in my greenhouse for the near future. They look like crap, but i think they are going to make it.
