Mature, well-established foxtail palms can tolerate light frosts and short bursts of temperatures down to 27 degrees Fahrenheit without significant damage. Prolonged cold temperatures or freezes cause discoloration or death of the leaves and sometimes the entire canopy of the tree. New growth in the next six months to a year may appear discolored or misshapen, but the palm should grow out of this in a year. Some palms lose the ability to take up water.
Even hardy cold weather palms can suffer from a cold winter. Many owners of these palm trees protect them from winter winds with a greenhouse or a wire cage lined in plastic. The peacock palm is a cold-weather palm, but can only survive 24 degrees and warmer. It may need to be protected during the coldest winter months.
