QuestionHi, I was wondering if there's anything I should do to my foxtail palms after our very unusual cold winter in Brevard county FL. I have three that are about 5'-6.5' each. They've been in the ground for over 1 year, and all three are "crispy brown" there's very little to no green at all in the trunks. Thanks!
AnswerJason, at this point in time I am still advising questioners to take a "wait and see" position, for the weather is just now starting to warm up to the point where new growth should commence; tug on the center spear , if it is holding fast then there is still a chance but if it pulls out, then the Palm has succumbed. Spray the fronds with a Copper fungicide, this will deter any fungal problems from developing, if it is still alive. Nick
