Leave them until next spring.
: Thank you for the advice Bill
:
: I live in Fort Worth, Texas and the
: palm was potted when I had it planted.
: The fronds started turning brown after
: this last cold spell. Should I cut the
: fronds or leave them until spring?
: Thank you, I appreciate your help on
: this.

: Not sure where you are located but if
: you
: normally only experience a few days
: below freezing each winter.... i would
: take the blanket off and place it back
: on the next cold spell.
: As far as the older palms fronds
: turning brown, if it is the lower
: fronds that is normal and you can cut
: them off. If they have browned due to
: burning because of the freeze, i would
: leave them on until next spring before
: trimming them. You know i just realized
: that you said you planted the palm in
: September, was it balled and burlapped
: or was it a potted palm? If it was
: balled and burlapped you should cut
: most of the fronds off anyway, in order
: to facilitate the formation of a new
: root system. Good luck.

: I have a palm that is approx. 5 ft.
: tall
: that was planted in mid Sept. We just
: went through a cold spell where the
: temps reached 22 degrees. I wrapped
: the trunk really good with an old heavy
: blanket. Now that it has warmed up
: again should I remove the blanket?
: Also, I have noticed that some of the
: older palms branches are turningg
: brown. Should I cut them or leave them
: alone?
: Any help will be much appreciated.
