Yeah, mom typically gets zone 8a winters. This year the lowest was 8F though, so that is barely into 7b range. However, there were some damage to windmills I didn't quite expect, but I think it was due to the heavy rains followed by the long duration of freezing temps. But I am fully expecting both palms to recover and have a good year of growth. This will be their third growing season.
And yeah, I will get on here with a report later next month and maybe a couple of pics. Got lots of things to show.
