The Fatality List Is Ugly

The carnage from this past winter with our extreme cold temps (8 degrees F) is showing its ugly head. The dead include:
1. Two European Fan Palms, in semi-heated pavilions
2. One Saw Palm, in pavilion

The extensively damaged:

1. Mexican fan palm. Completely defoliated, but greenish in the central spear area.
2. Windmill palm: A lot of leaf damage, but continued to grow throughout the winter.

Not phased at all:

1. Sabal Birmingham
2. Sabal Minors
3. Sabal Palmetto
4. Needle palms.
