Cool picture in a hot summer-

Did it take much damage?

Yay for cool pictures! BOOOO for cold and snow! ;-)

I actually like the snow and last winter was not really too cold (min 14.00 F). I view winter as entertaining guests--pleasant as long as they don't overstay their welcome! Will post more summer trachy and Pindo pics soon though.

Very, very little damage last year. If you go to the posting, "Trachycarpus in Summer Humidity Oops", you'll see the ring-like margin of slightly discolored growth. But it quickly outgrows this. Those leaves you see in the snow mostly are still on the palm. I fully expect it to eventually screen the porch and shade the second floor bedroom above it. Microclimate factors really matter! There are two in the front (face South, near the house) Neither has ever suffered spear pull. One is more exposed to winter and summer sun and wind, the other more protected (two side walls, summer shading to some extent). The one in the photo is the one that somewhat more protected. I'll provide a photo of the second Trachy and the Pindo later on today if it not raining.--First rain I've seen in over a month!
