My neighbor’s palm tree after the deep freeze

Everyone in the neighborhood is waiting to see if some new green fronds appear!

Awwwww! I was going to ask if you thought it would come back. Poor thing looks pitiful right now.

[Lou Ann]

@grammyn it’s been through 4 owners in the last 20 years. Palm trees are not native to North Texas. I’ve always called this tree a real survivor because not one of the owners has paid it any real attention.

[Diana]

Oh what a pity, it does not look as if it will survive.

[Lin]

It looks sad now, but it could make a comeback...nicely captured and keep us posted!

[summerfield]

you've posted this before, if i'm not mistaken. and so sad it had be so badly ravaged by the icestorm. it doesn't look like it's going to make it and may need to be cut off before rot totally sets in and injure anyone. but sometimes, mother nature always has surprises. aces, law. aces!

Poor tree. It still looks good, though, against the blue sky.

The cold certainly took its toll

[Carole Sandford]

I seem to recall that this tree had problems before - definitely a survivor! Love the blue sky too!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Ooh , poor thing - do you think it will ever survive ! - only time will tell !

[Peter]

Lovely detail standing out well against the blue. well spotted Lou Ann:)

[Monique]

Perfect blue sky

[Babs]

It is in a bad way, hope it survives. It looks lovely against the blue sky though.

[Kerri Michaels]

very nice

[Islandgirl]

Oh Wow looks dead!

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh, I so hope they do appear.

[Ingrid]

Oh poor tree... keeping my fingers crossed that some green does appear!

[Lou Ann]

@summerfield I did post it, all green and healthy. My neighbor said all the tree experts say to just wait for the new green fronds, till the end of April, so I’m guessing that’s what he will do.
