Will Palm Trees Come Back After a Freeze

If a freeze is only partial, some palm material may survive and be able to grow, but the damaged areas will never recover. Brown, drooping fronds can be removed or left to fall on their own. If a palm survives, new fronds will grow, but it will take time for them to grow to the size of the mature fronds.

How do you revive a palm tree after freezing?

Wait for the affected palm to produce new growth, and do not remove the affected fronds until the danger of additional hard freezes is over. Affected palms should not be irrigated or fertilized now. Fertilize palms during the active growing season from as early as late spring to early fall.

Can palm trees survive freezing weather?

While most palms can tolerate cold only to 40°F, there are hundreds types of cold hardy palms that can easily withstand 20°F (-7°C) freeze and surprisingly even cold temperatures below 0°F (-18°C). Some of the cold tolerant palms can grow in places like Texas, California, Georgia, Virginia, and much further north.
