STATENISLANDpalm-i sadly lost my queen palm last Feb.on an unusually warm day i decide to take it out on of its protection.I had guess over and a couple of drinks ,got really late had to be out of town the next mourning((DIDNT PUT PROTECTION BACK ON)).Ironically that next day temps drop to the single digits ,me knowing this i figure it will be ok .Came home whatyaknow leaves start turning brown knew it was a lost cause when the young trunk start looking like southern fried chicken ! so my advice is DONT DRINK AND PLANT PALMS!! BUT P.S. MY WASHINGTONIA IS AWESOME

Well at least is was going good that long (if the protection went back on it would have probably made it). We all make mistakes, now you know to cover your palms before you have a party during the winter :)

Thanks for the update (happy to hear the washingtonia is alive and well). good luck!

thanks for the update but since you said in a previous post that it survived 2 winters I think I'll try one

Good personal lesson for you not to drink because next time a plant may not be the victim.

Sorry to be direct, but I seen what drinking like that did to my family. It starts small and gets worse.
