Ajo is a very cool place. I think they only got down in the teens F not near as cold as the other places. 😉
Barb, you might want to use the url from the link on the left of the pic. That way it wont load a whole page. Almost to many pages for my browser to open. 🙂

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Just think, even that place seen temps...I think down to 12f that winter, and the plants still look good. 😯

2011 map view of El Paso,
-5f and much colder than southern AZ, 3 days below freezing and yes some palms survived!
Tim what yucca is this? (could be schottii?) So far this street is the only one I found with the 2011 date.

Here is a good example of CIDP showing signs of better cold hardiness over W. robusta.

That's good to know.
Not many examples of that.
But it looks like he's pruning them with a meat cleaver 😯 😆

Interesting pictures. I'm curious if you have visited these in person before or if you are just typing in random addresses searching for plants?
I did not even recognize the turnks on the Champerops at first in the last picture. It apears to have a few basal suckers sprouting at least.

I've never been to El Paso, we just use our mouse to scroll down the streets and look for plants that are of interest and lived through the 2011 "big freeze" 😉
Champerops "med fan" in the pic may even have some that might recover from the crown. A bit of green pushing up from the one on the left. 😀

Nice! I don't think I have found a dead CIDP in El Paso yet. Some dead Robustas and almost dead med fans. Makes me question what palms are hardy and what's not. 😕

Tim, look at the size of these Yucca faxoniana. Look how much bigger they are than the entrance to the building.
