Will Houston Palms pull through Blizzard ’09?

February 22, 2010 - Posted by Jen

Hi Jen, These are my sick palms we talked about from the freeze.  See you in kickboxing class on Wed.

Hey Jen,

Hope all is good with you.

My buddy bought some fox tail palms last year (approx. 20 foot tall) and this winter has them brown.  Will they come back or are the toast?

Let me know please when you get some time to answer.

Hi Bernadette and Tommy,

We recommend waiting until March to see if their is any new  “green” growth before you cut the brown frowns and do not cut into the green. 

 Jeff River Law, Houston Xeriscape expert,  says as long as your palms are not leaning over or mooshy they should be fine. 

Grant Stevenson, Houston Palm  and Tropical expert  says if you can pull the frowns out from the top then it is dead.  Horticultural Consultants, Inc. has become a leader in providing Palms, Cycads and Bamboo to professional clients nationwide.
