of here. If you are wanting to buy a palm tree to plant in your yard, you
should do some research first. Many retailers today are selling palm

that they have bought from major retailers. They were not told that the
tree they were buying would only survive our winters if brought indoors.
A few examples of some issues that we have come across are: A
customer came in that had bought a date palm from a major retailer,
thinking that it would survive year round. They asked us if we thought it
would survive and the answer is "no". Refer to our Date palm page.
Another customer had come in with a Bismarck Palm asking would the
palm tree live year round here. I said "No" Refer to our Bismarck Palm
page.
It's fine if you want to buy a palm tree as an annual. But to buy the palm
tree thinking it would grow in our area year round is another thing.

Know what palm tree to buy
Bringing your palm tree inside during the winter
Some people buy mixed palms or palms that are not cold hardy or even
palms that are cold hardy but would like to grow them indoors during
the winter months. In order to do this, you need a container which will
have good drainage and be large enough to support the palm tree.
You will need good topsoil and an area that offers plenty of sunlight.
Soil temperature is an important role when it comes to growing palm
trees. Being in the house, the soil temperature will remain in the upper
60's to 70's. Therefore, you will still want to fertilize your trees during
the winter months. You can use any all purpose fertilizer. Also, being in
a container and in warmer temperatures in the house, you will need to
check the water frequently.
Cold hardy palms in containers outside
Cold hardy palms being grown outside during the winter in decorative
pots, containers, etc. can survive winter temperatures for what the
palm tree is rated for. Example, A sago palm is rated to survive low
temperatures around 20F. Your sago palm should be fine in a
container outside at this temperature. But if it gets colder than that, we
recommend that you wrap the container with a heavy blanket or cloth
to keep the roots warmer during that cold period. When the
temperature rises you can remove the blanket.
Protecting your palm trees when temperatures fall lower than
what the palm tree is rated for
A pindo palm tree is rated between 5F and 10F. If the temperature falls
below this and your pindo is planted in the ground, you should protect
it by covering the fronds and trunk with blankets or heavy cloth. These
should be removed when the temperature rises.
Sago palm trees and cold temperatures
If your sago has brown leaves and appears to look dead after the
winter months, what usually happens is temperatures in the low 20's will
burn the leaves making it appear to look dead. What needs to be done
is, in early March, cut all the dead leaves off. You should be able to
see a new green flush starting to grow by the middle of May. The only
exception to this is that if the sago is starting to flower or bloom, you will
not see new growth until mid to late July.
