Post Freeze Palm Care

Hello Houston 

It seems like the cold weather has finally come to an end 

with warmer temperature's spring seems right around the corner 

the big question on the minds of Houstonian's that have palm tree in their yards are what to do now

First - cut the old dead leaves away in the next two weeks - if you have storm broken leaves cut them ASAP - do not over trim leaves close to the very heart of the palm - you can destabilize the crown 

Second - if the center leaves look dead - [wearing gloves] give a steady pull - if the leaf spear or central leader comes up - dont worry - its still not a dead palm yet! Part I - if you smell a rotten soggy smell - you have fungus and possibly crown rot - Part II - if you see little white worms that look like maggots - you have palm beetles. Both are curable  

If the central leader stays - even better - 

We suggest spraying the heart of the palm two times with a fungicide and insecticide even if you do not see either condition. 

We always suggest having a 1 or 2 gallon tank sprayer dedicated to your palms - NEVER use a sprayer that has sprayed Round Up or lawn fertilizer - its worth the 15 -22 bucks to get a new one - label it palms and use it only for your palm trees. Its ok to tank mix both the fungicide and insecticide - always use common sense - water proof gloves -  long sleeves - long pants - work shoes - a hat - spray in the cooler part of the morning or on a windless and / or cloudy day is even better. mix the fungicide and insecticide according to manufactures' instructions. 1 gallon should teat 6- 8 nice sized palms. 

Spray what I call the neck - its the outside of where the leaves come out - get it also on to the new growth and down into the crown - if you had rot - make sure to pull out all of the old dead leaves and cut ALL of the rest of the palm leaves - get the chemicals  down into the hole - and treat again in about 2 weeks 

we always suggest a 2nd application about 2 weeks after the 1st - but most fungicides are photo toxic / binding and overuse will cause damage to new growth or even palm mortality 

for fungicide we recommend Cleary's 3336 - its systemic - available from many fine retailers on line 
another two suggestions are Copper Based Fungicide  [all big box retail stores] or 20/20/20 Triple Action [Consan] available on line and many retailers - 

For an insecticide we prefer Merit 2F by Bayer or Bifenthrin - Talstar or Bifen - are probably the most effective - being available for purchase on line - most poison's available at big box stores are not effect for this kind of treatment 

Trees that have lost their heads should not be considered a lost cause until June - if they stink - break - or you see indications of insect infestation - remove at once - BAG and dispose of waste - treating the palm waste one more time to reduce insect populations 

Trees that are just trimmed back should start pushing out new growth as soon as the year heats up 

Sometimes after a drastic trim back the palm may take a little extra time to recover - keep on the look out for fungus and bugs - any rotten smell or holes / oozing from trunk is an indication of both 

We hope this blog helps guide you to accurately treat and prevent fungus and insect mortality on your cold stressed palms.

Freeze Coming to Houston TX - Post Freeze Palm Tree Care

Heights Hauling and Landscape Offers Tips to Help Palm Tree Owners
Recover from the Winter Blast

Palm Tree Owners Need to Act Now to Ensure Proper Long-Term Health and Care of Their Tree


HOUSTON TX– With a new winter cold blast heading towards Houston, palm tree owners need
to take steps now to ensure their trees are beautiful again this summer.

Heights Hauling and Landscape is offering local palm tree owners a few tips to ensure their palms recover from the recent cold snap.“Taking steps now immediately after the cold weather will help your palm tree recover faster,” said Jeremy Goldstein with Heights Hauling and Landscape. “This will ensure you have a beautiful tree for the upcoming summer season.”

The first step to protecting the tree is to apply a copper fungicide to the frost damaged fronds once the
weather warms up. Follow up with a repeat application within seven to ten days. Do not apply more than
twice, or you may actually damage the tree further. “The fungicide helps kill bacteria that can kill the tree during this vulnerable time,” Goldstein said. “It’s very important for the future ongoing health of the tree.”

After the weather warms, it’s also important to remove the brown fronds from the tree. A gentle tug should
remove the frond. If the cold damage is severe and even the youngest leaf in the center comes out easily,
don’t give up. Once the spear leaf is removed, slit or puncture the collar of sheathing leaf bases to allow
water to drain away from the bud. However, if it is hard to remove, it should not be removed.

If the center does come out, we suggest treating it with not only the fungicide, but also a systemic insecticide both directly to the crow and around the base of the tree.

However, if the future growth of the tree is brown, the tree does not provide any new growth or the crown
collapses, the dead tree should be removed. Beware, the damage may not show up in the tree until six
months or a year after the freeze.

“Palm trees can provide years and years of easy maintenance and beauty,” Goldstein said. “Most mature
trees will be able the handle the occasional cold snap we get in Houston with proper care when the weather
warms up.”

Heights Hauling and Landscape is a farm direct provider of high quality palm trees throughout the Houston
area. They can handle the delivery and installation of palm trees for less. For more information about the
