Default Re: Washingtonia robusta growth in the Little Rock suburbs

Sounds great. I will cover my Filifera palm with a tarp after I cut back the leaves. As of today the leaves still look great. I understand that when the temp drops below about 23 the leaves will be damaged. I sprayed the leaves with freeze pruf which is supposed to add about 5 degrees of cold tolerance so maybe the leaves will last until it gets down to 18 degrees. I already have the truck wraped with pipe heat cables and I have landscape fabric covered with burlap. I am also going to try wraping some christmas lights around the truck, thats supposed to add a couple degrees as well.
