Conejov, you north of Houston or south? The northern portion of Houston itself and north of Houston is 8B. Pearland is 8B. But there is a 9A area south of Houston and in the SE part of Houston. I doubt it's much of a difference though when it gets into the mid 20s eh?

Cut yer fronds off and put sheets over 'em! Mulch at the bottom. Or do nothing. Unless it's rated for 10B or higher they usually come back without having to do anything to 'em.
