I had placed all my palms outside last weekend, because I thought we’d were in the clear for weather (it was 101F on Tuesday!) and they were just too big to move back inside. Lists a bottle palm to the wind and rain, it was on our upper deck and the rain was so heavy at one point that it overfilled the container and the wind came along and uprooted the tree and it severed it cleanly at the base. A hibiscus tree that was also up there that I had moved against the house was thrown off the deck.
My bananas, including the red banana all looked okay, a couple leaves on one are torn up (do I cut them off?) but they had more protection being on the mid and lowest tier of our backyard.
