Hi Barb, I believe they probably heat CIDP during prolonged cold waves.

they probably heat CIDP during prolonged cold waves.

Approximately what's their low during winter?

Wonder what they'll do this winter now that the Trachies and CIDP have reached the top. 😯
I'm worried about my Trachy for the same reason.

Yes thank you for the pictures. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems pictures has been taken some years ago. Winters 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 has been long and cold in Europa. Do you have news of this palms? You can register very low temperature with no stop freeze for days or weeks.

Unfortunately I don't have any new information. This link is from April 23, 2012 (see responses in lower part). So, I believe that palms still a live.

Thanks Henoh for that thorough reply of their minimum temps.
I had guessed as much unfortunately.
And their duration of cold (far shorter than mine I would guess) is likely the most important factor to getting the Trachies and CIDP and Sabal to such size.

Zone 7 a and b are among the best zones worldwide for plant lovers.
