I guess not everyone is a fan of google maps.

Barb, now you got me looking all over the palm desert. 😀

I did find some frostbite plants, mostly queen palms.
They did have 2 bad cold spells that winter, of which would be a normal winter low for my place in AZ. 🙄

Even the palms in Austin TX got hit hard that winter.

A bit too far north for Queen palms, IMO.

would be a normal winter low for my place in AZ

But what you'd plant would sail through those two lows.

Ugh...those Austin palms look so sad, despite a tiny sign of life.
Look petrified. 😆

I'm going back to Palm Desert. 😉

The frost burnt queens were in the Palm Desert, just minor leaf burn. if I see them again, I will post a pic.

Even the Palm Desert it is not rare to see lows in the upper teens and low 20's,
but does not last long and has no real effects that I have seen...well a papaya tree did sad after 18f.

My place in AZ would normally see lows in the low to upper teens, but not rare for temps to spike into the singles digits.
So long term palms, that I have seen come back with flying colors, even though the leaves fell off (only took a season for the palms to look like it never happened)
Filifera, CIDP, Robusta, Majool date, Med fans, trachies, Sables, and Butiacapitata.
Some Queens might live through a normal winter low, butt they would always die back in winter there. I seen none planted comeback there after the 2011 freeze.

Me too, headed back to the Palm Desert. 😉

Here's a yard that came back from -4F in Las Cruses NM
I want seed from that big Trichocereus tersheckii

Is this a sabal louisiana? It's looking well.

Filifera, CIDP, Robusta, Majool date, Med fans, trachies, Sables, and Butiacapitata.

That's all the species anyone who loves palms would probably want anyway.
Me especially.
The aerials of golf course properties show a lot of date palms, which is wonderful.
Their blue color looks so good in the desert, same with the Butias.

Nice to see properties that mix it up with Agaves too.

Surprised at the low temps they can get but it's obviously not for 3 or 4 months 😉

Jeff, I think your links bombed, didn't see agave or sabal?
