Needle Palm spear pull
Comments (7)I think your windmill will be fine. Mine don't get protected either but are near the south side of the house in full sun. They did not suffer bud loss last winter either which was also very wet. So far this winter has been unusually snowy early in the year but like last winter is not too cold (minimum 18 above F--like last year). The year before that they went down to 4.0 F. and there was some sun scald but no bud loss--but is was drier. I do think you are right though about the problems this winter going to do on many palms in the deep South and milder portions of the East. But I expect the damage more of an issue for Butias (Pindo palms)--windmills seem to tolerate cold/wet better than Pindos. I know Needles are rated cold hardiest but I've also read that young ones may not be as cold hardy as windmills. But also remember, spear pull is NOT necessarily a death sentence for these palms.--Still, better not to have to deal with spear pull. Good luck!...See MoreSpear pull recovery
Comments (11)Youngest leaves are open and in relatively good shape. I will try to get pics up within a day or two. If they make it I will probably lose most of the crown. Leaf is green at the trunk all the way up the stem. Leaves are burned a little at the ends. My Butia Capitata still looks great however....See MoreOld windmill palm, spear pull, deep cut
Comments (15)We have a pindo palm in NC that was hit for a second winter while we were out of town, ice storm :/ about a month ago we pulled the inside out, poured hydrogen peroxide down the center and waited...nothing. Just yesterday I pulled again at the center and more came the bottom looking mushy and white like bread pudding. We have only had it three years but it's at least ten years old. Should we continue to wait or trunk cut it? It's beautiful, or was. The trunk is probably three feet tall and almost two feet wide. We are devastated...thoughts, opinions?...See MoreNeedle Palm looks healthy but spear pulled?
Comments (3)Any containerized plant is not going to be as hardy as one planted in the ground. It could be due to cold in combination with wet or poorly draining soil. But there was a problem. It may rebud and/or send up new suckers from around the base. (Don't know where you are so, don't know how practical Spring planting in the ground would be for you.)...See MoreRelated Professionals
