I wonder if it'd also work on members of the Strelitziaceae family, like White BOP's and Travelers Palm.
Freezepruf, is not nearly as effective on woody stem plants. I would imagine the Strelitziaceae family falls into that catagory eventually. But if 3 degrees is all you need then it's for you. The 7 degrees refers to soft tissue plants. I will have more details after my meeting at the end of the month. I will keep everyone here informed as soon as it becomes available.

I just got off a conference call the VC who is helping Dean Franco bring Freeze Pruf to market. Currently we are about a month out from the product being available for sale. The initial form it will be sold in a gallon (not concentrate). Price has still not been confirmed but I was assured it would be reasonable. Please indicate via PM if you are interested in purchasing some as I am forming a list and will be proactively selling it as soon as it's in production.
