As you can see the year before it was cut too far back and it was expose some as I got a bit careless and left it exposed to high 20's and frost and freezing water got it. Even though high 20's aren't lethal, the water freezing in it with a damaged crown from being cut back WAS lethal to it. I think this may have had a bit of filifera in it. Not sure, but that may be why it isn't as tolerant of moisture. It was nice palm as well, but it didn't grow like the other one I have.
