coast crab

I had to trash a queen palm too. I thought it would be protected enough under the live oaks. I was wrong.

Ironically, I have 2 young Bismarckias that made it through this past terrible winter in the ground, their second winter actually. But they're in a bed that's really protected from the wind with lots of sun on brick and concrete all day long. All the fronds were burned but they're coming out now. Clumps of large, old Rhaphis were killed to the ground too.
