Question

Answer
Hi sherry, unfortunately once a palm freezes, it is up to mother nature whether it makes it or not; there really isn't anything we can do to nurse it back except cut back on watering, or you will kill it for sure,by rotting the now inert root system. They don't go dormant, they slow down during the winter,but are still actively growing year around. Nick
