I like them , but I'm not worrying about a plant and not crawling out in the cold to cover it.

We have three quite large robellini palms--beautiful plants that fit our landscaping so well--and initially tried to protect them. I think we've reached the point of accepting that they may have been the wrong palm for the potential in our climate zone. If they make it, they make it, and if not, they'll be replaced with something more suitable for the frosts we do get from time to time. As we drive around TV, we see lots of palms that look perfect in spite of the frost. Much to learn....
