Phoenix canariensis_CIDP potted left unprotected

[MikeC]

Although I covered my other palms and plants and moved some to my garage, I forgot about my Phoenix canariensis_CIDP that is a DIY shed sale item bought a couple of years ago.

Anyway, here's a couple of photos of it. Temps went down to around -3 and it was not protected in any way.

Looks unscathed but will be interesting to see how it fares if the pot froze.

i'd say it's dead already but it doesn't know it yet.

-3 is ok

if the roots freeze you wont know until spring when they try to suck up water again and choke

It looks ok to me, hope it survives Mike.

Surely It didn't freeze long enough to freeze the pot! Did it? I wouldn't do it to many times though.

I don't know for sure but I suspect the pot didn't freeze, but the palm did take a direct hit of about -3 on a couple of nights.

I suspect it will be fine, but it's interesting to see how it goes.

Mine was in the shed at -7 last year and the pot froze for a couple of days. It's alive but it only just scraped through, shouldn't think it will be around next year.

Here's the same palm, photo taken today.

Frost, snow and ice no probs.
