]]> Comment on Will Houston Palms pull through Blizzard ’09? by gary kennemer http://www.jenscapes.com/blog/will-houston-palms-pull-through-blizzard-09/comment-page-1/#comment-5765 gary kennemer Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:20:28 +0000 http://www.jenscapes.com/blog/?p=669#comment-5765 pygmy dates are always in question as well as foxtails during a harsh winter. the best thing for your palms is to be on the preventative side prior to the freeze. Fertilize regularly with a palm tree fertilizer, there are also antitranspirant sprays that help for winter ice...entering spring after the freeze you need to cut off any dead fronds and spray all cut petiole bases and center spear with a fungicide and liquid potassium. if the apex/ center spear pulls out than you have a very slim chance of reviving your tree. i have had customers that have had these types of trees here for years even though they are not recommended for this area. no promises though on survival as these trees are not recommended for this zone so gambling with these less than cold hardy trees is not for the faint hearted. pygmy dates are always in question as well as foxtails during a harsh winter. the best thing for your palms is to be on the preventative side prior to the freeze.

An easy fix for the starlings is Starling Resistant Entrance Holes or SREH.
