Hi Ken. I've got a Japanese Blueberry tree ( Elaeocarpus decipiens) in San Antonio. Leaves are brown. Parts of the trunk bark are black. These trees are about three years old. Can they be saved? What should I do? Thanx.
We went a week below freezing in Central Texas, and got down to 5F. 200 year old + Live oak branches (4"+) are now brown throughout and starting to fall. Lots of dead brittle wood. Is it better to prune the "worst" of the branches and spray the cuts to keep out oak wilt... or should things be left alone?
We are seeing the leaves falling off the live oaks here in Dallas but those are the old leaves that they would have shed anyway. My guess is they will leaf out and be fine. I haven't seen any live oak branches falling. I would suggest you call an arborist to take a look - especially with a tree that old and valuable.
We ave almost 50 large Mexican fan palms on our property. All of them look to be in bad condition. It went down to about 18 degrees here in south Texas. Do you think they survived? Also, should we trim them or leave them how they are?
I don't plant a lot of palms so I'm not an expert on them but around here in DFW windmill palms are the ones that usually survive our winters the best. My understanding is that sabal palms and dwarf palmettos do well too. All other palms are at risk of not surviving but we'll know better in a few weeks when we have warm weather.
Hi, great video! I am in Houston TX, where the temperature reached 12 degrees felt like 1 (According to media). I have a Pindo Palm (I believe, don't know much about plants) and now it turned yellow/brown-ish... Would i need to trim the leaves? or leave it as it is. Can it be saved? if so, what would i need to do?
Hi Ivonne, thanks for reaching out regarding your palm. The windmill palm is the most cold hardy with pindo palms being a little less so. That said, yours probably will survive. I would trim the fronds off of it and wait and see. Around here we would know by late April, you might be able to tell a little earlier in Houston. I'm glad you like the video - be sure to share it with your friends and family. - Ken, Owner and Founder
I’m doubtful about the hawthorns. Giant liriope and yaupons are tough. My guess is if you cut the giant liriope back it will come back again in later spring. The yaupon might lose some foliage but it’s probably okay too
Good video 👍
Thanks 👍
What about bottlebrush plant?
Sagos should come back
They might but they usually aren't happy in Dallas with freezing weather.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with Japanese Blueberry trees. I'm not aware of those being grown in Dallas

@@VillageGreenLawnHealth great! Thanks for the advice!
@@ivonnetenorio7521 You’re welcome
All my giant liriope look dead along with one 25’ yaupon all hawthorns, any additional thought on liriope and yaupon ?

@@VillageGreenLawnHealth All my hawthorns have new green growth at the bottom. Not sure how long I should wait till start trimming the top.
@@whom382 I haven’t found any hawthorns that have any green on them. I’m glad yours seem to have life in them
