Default Re: Palms for zone 6

Thanks for sharing your experiences on the Chamaerops humilis var cerifera. The problems we have in the southeast is not so much the cold as it is more the cold in combination with our normal wet winters. The cold doesn't actually kill it. It is more the moisture getting into the growth spear and then freezing. If one can keep a marginal palm dry in the winter, they are alot more likely to have success with it, in the southeast at least....
