Palms just don't do too well in chilly conditions... Poor things... We had a King Palm that was damaged by a frost and it was never the same. Then six years later the temps dropped again and finished it off..

Wow, looks like the aspens in Colorado in fall.    I hope the tree will bounce back as the weather warms.

Our garden suffered a bit this year but the herbs came through our cold snap wonderfully. Thanks for visiting today.

That is so beautiful even damaged! I have to admit I can't see the damage since I'm not familiar with that tree so to me it is flawless Smile
