Palm trees do not get borers or sunburned trunks. Borer damage doesn’t happen much probably because they are monocots.
Chilling injury is due to cooler or cold weather (above freezing) temperatures to tropical plants growing outside of — or close to — the fringes of their normal range.
Lelia and Frank Friedlander host company and family gatherings at their home, and the big attraction often is the blazing 800-degree outdoor oven.
