Q: During last winter's freeze my robellini palm's leaves turned brown. I cut the dead foliage off in hope the palm will sprout new ones, but it is almost August and there are still no new leaves. Does it mean my Robellini palm froze and I need to replace it? 
- Thank you in advance

A: Excellent question and yes, more than likely it is dead and needs to be replaced, if you haven't seen any sign of new growth to date. Typically robellinis and queen palms can handle the cold weather, but this past winter was a rarity with the duration and the extreme of the cold, many people lost theirs from Pasco, Hernando County and North.
