Protecting Queen Anne Palms in Severe Cold

Cold Hardiness

Queen Anne palms tolerate upper 20s°F. Below that, take action.

Pre-Freeze Prep

1. Water the base deeply the afternoon before the freeze—moist soil holds heat better.
2. Wrap the "heart" (just below the lowest fronds) with a heavy blanket or frost fabric.

Don't Overcomplicate

No need to wrap the whole trunk. Protecting the bud is the priority. Remove coverings once temperatures rise above freezing.
