Well, I got some info on my Foxtail Palm, and found out it is indeed hardy to 27 deg F. This is one tough and beautiful palm. But I do have another question. I'm thinking I'll need to pull off the old layers of trunk to make certain there are no pests that can accumilate there. Any thoughts on this?

I got this palm on 70% sale at one of our local upscale nurseries because it had frost damage and black spot disease. I just know it wants to live.

Should I peel off the old layers?
