Re: Self care by growing a garden
They should recover @Determined. Cycads are dinosaur food plants, and if they can survive that much species extinction, they can survive a hailstorrm. The usual wisdom is to leave damaged leaves to protect the new growth, and remove them once the new stuff's hardened off.

*Correction.... Seems it's been discovered that modern cycads aren't quite a dino lunch snack after all, but they're still pretty impressive plants.

Re: Self care by growing a garden
I have seen some in pics that are trimmed so they have a trunk @Shaz51 but ours have fronds fro. Ground level. Well they used to. The lower ones are all dead at the moment.

Taking off the lower down dead ones wouldn't hurt it.

Re: Self care by growing a garden
Have been looking at the best location to install a rain water tank (we brought one with us from our previous home). Where we have decided to put it will require transplanting a palm tree 😬 hope I can manage that without it dieing.

Re: Self care by growing a garden
On a roll this morning. Another load of green waste to the dump. Pressure pump to the irrigation shop and 2 leaky taps fixed 😊
Hope to have another trailer loaded with green waste by this ave.
