Comment: Planted in my yard from a 15 gallon in 1994 and turned completely brown after a 6 degree F ( 9°F at New Bern NC (N. Carolina) airport ) freeze in Feb. 1996. The bud pulled out and it was necessary to cut the trunk back to solid tissue. By late summer 1996 it had completely recovered. In 1999 the palm is producing a bumper crop of seed.

Comment: Update to my previous post. The palm survived winter, and accidental pulling of healthy spear but this proved to be its undoing. Though was recovering well, apparently latter injury opened it up to infection, entire crown suddenly rotted & pulled late June. Due to recovery had stopped fungicide use. Will try again with new plant in better site.
