Most of my palms were planted in 1999 from small mail-order plants.
Thus, my Med Palms and Pindos largely got fried. I don’t have the energy to cover them like I used to. I did treat them with Copper Fungicide in March. Just this week, the emerging spears are beginning to exhibit green, so I have reason for optimism. My Sagos got fried, and I am hopeful they’ll put out new flushes around June. My Needles, Dwarf Palmettos, and Windmill Palms all fared well (though many of my Trachys had a brown emerging spear). S. Birmingham, S. Brazoria, S. Louisiana and S. Tamaulipas were all untouched.
My tangerine tree “Changsha” completely defoliated, but has been leafing out nicely over the past 10 days. My fig tree leafed out in mid-March, got zapped by a freeze, and is now leafing out again. A friend gave me a juvenile Jubea-Butia cross a few years ago; it has not yet shown any life but I have not given up on it.
I have a Camellia Sasanqua that completely defoliated; I am unsure if it will rebound.
All in all, I accept that I live at the confluence of 8a/7b.
