Winter Care for In‑Ground Majesty Palms in Texas After a Hard Freeze

Three Majesty palms planted around a pool 30 miles NW of Houston looked sad after an unusually cold winter.

Immediate Care

• Trim only the outermost dead fronds.
• Do nothing more until hard freezes are past.
• If severe frost returns, wrap each palm with heavy blankets secured by spring clamps to protect the growing point.

Spring Recovery

Fertilize with palm fertilizer in spring to stimulate new growth. If no green tissue remains by spring, the palm is likely dead.
