Thanks folks.
Yup you're probably right John...I waited too long to cut them down to live tissue before total rot set in.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
Once the leaves start to die below where the spear pulls it's a good idea to take a look/cut.
That was the reason I cut mine in the first place,the leaves were starting to fold up.

Jim,
That is simply amazing my friend! Who other then you could save palms that where that far gone, great work. They are going to be some stumpy little buggers by the end of the season too, they should be very unique.
Nice yard update too.
Barb,
Sorry to here about your palms 🙁

Hey Bill!
I think it will surprise most that the trunks will probably regrow to there former size by
later in the year or next year,you know-counting the petioles that had their leaves removed when it was cut,
they have put out the equivalent of four leaves,this is right on pace with the fastest Trachys I have-
like the Naini Tal !
As you said though,they may be stumpy for a while.
Dude-my Black Thai bananas and Itinerans are going ca-razy!!

I didn't tug the spears hard enough earlier...was afraid to find that out 😆 😆
BTW, I love those somewhat contorted, twisted fronds, Jim.
I kinda hope they don't outgrow that...very cool looking.
Your Naini Tal is such a trooper! and remember last year you were betting yours was not going to grow as fast as mine? 😥 😥

The leaves are already starting to shape up.
What happened to the Naini Tal Barb?

What happened to the Naini Tal?

Did the spear pull as well,or was it turned into a fine powder by(the obvious)nuclear fall-out in your area.

Spear pulled only during exacto knife surgery a few days ago.
Total mush.
So yours wins...in more ways than one 😆 😆

Freeze Pruf = Life Proof 🙄
I may wash my car with it instead.

Barb,
I'm sorry. That was a good -looking palm.
As for Freeze-Pruf, is there a thread (here or on EPS) dedicated to how it did this winter? --Erik
