Hello from the Netherlands. This winter was very wet. Too wet. And quite early some frost. Even two of my trachycarpus had spear pull and unfortunately my phoenix theophrasti as well. My chamaerops vulcano looks undamaged though until now.
Did this survive mate? My cerifera spear pulled this year and I’m gutted about it, is it worth trying to save or shall i save my patience and buy a new one? 😂
I have two big ones In pots right up next to the house, I think I would actually cry if this happened 🫣 they have withstood snow last year, and a few days below freezing lately. Fingers crossed they will be ok, surprised yours took a hit. 😢
They grow from the main root just under soil level at the very date of the trunk. It is possible to remove the suckers and for them to grow on there own, but it risky. They don't always make it 50% chance depending on how much root are on the sucker .
I have a feeling this winter isn't done with us yet, with the SSW happening. Hopefully it will be kind to us.🤞
I think you may be right, all we can do is 🤞
Fortunately my Chamaerops have all survived up here in Newcastle upon Tyne however I lost a couple of Torbay Dazzlers.
I think lots of us have loses this winter. But for me it's an opportunity to try something different/new.👍

Hi, from uk we've had very similar weather hear, not been a good winter. Let's hope things recover in spring/summer 🤞
@@jimspalmsuk5098 no this weather is not good for palms. Last year I lost my Butia catarinensis because of all the rain. Totally rotten in the spring.
@@bardowesselius4121 That is disappointing, it's not just about the expense of replacing. Some palms are hard to get hold of. 😔

All my chamaerops made a full recovery. I used hydrogen peroxide once a week until the fizzing stopped. 👍

I'm surprised 🤨 but not to concerned. Time will tell, I'll be doing updates into spring on all the cold damage.
Look forward to the update 🤞🏻
Do the suckers have there own roots and can they be separated or are they growing from the main trunk?

Shocked they supposed to be tough as old boots.....
I am very surprised my self, can only put it down to the combination of cold and damp 😔
Ssw incoming... Lots of snow and Ice
At least the Netherlands
Not looking to bad where I am, let's hope it stays that way 🤞
Mine spear-pulled too, so disappointing
I was surprised, usually very hardy 🤔
What was the palm at 7:00? Lovely looking palm :)
That is a chamaerops humilis var volcano , a really hardy form with very stiff leaves👍
Thanks - will keep an eye for them :)
@@Knobblytyressoggysocks They are fairly easy to get hold of , can be a little pricey for a large one 👍
Surprising. As you'll know people often say they're supposed to be hardier than the standard. Think you've been unlucky with the spear pull
They are dry hardier, but standard chamaerops humilis is definitely more damp tolerant. 👍
