I love the coconut palm. It is my facorite tree. Here in Texas, they can be grown in the lower part of the Rio Grande Valley, in Cameron County (Harlinge, Brownsville, and South Padre Island). There are two Mexican Tall coconut palms at a motel in the central part of Brownsville that are approximately 30 – 35ft. tall to the top of the crown, and there is one in someone’s front yard at South Padre Island that I have counted 47 coconuts on a few years ago.
On your site, you have some inaccurate information about the cold hardiness of the coconut palm. Your site says something about them being killed or damaged at 20F. Well established tall varieties, such as the Mexican Tall are cold hardy to approximately 27F, but a few older adult palms have been known to survive temperatures to about 24 to 25F. The Malayan Dwarf, though is only hardy to about 29F when well established.
Hi John. You are absolutely right, coconut palms will get damage or killed if the temperatures drop down to 20F for more than a few hours. The survival of the palm also depends on acclimatization. That is why you should always provide your palms with cold protection when cold snaps are coming. Coconut palms are warmth loving tree that grow best in tropical climates like Florida. ~Susan Brian
