It's not the cold alone that costs palm trees the winter, but rather wetness in the root area and frost at the heart. Here you will find the right protection for both – in the size that suits your plant.
Buy palm winter protection – for potted palms and planted specimens
Our range covers every situation in the garden: trunk protection and root protection for planted palm trees, potted plant bags for complete crowns, walk-in winter tents for large or multiple plants as well as self-limiting heating cables for harsh nights. All sizes are in stock to ensure protection against the first permanent frost at the location.
Palm tree winter protection that reliably insulates the heart, trunk and root ball
Breathable fleece keeps frost out without trapping the plant: moisture can escape instead of freezing at the growing point. The dimensions are tailored to common trunk heights and bale sizes, so you don't have to improvise.
Choose the right model
The decisive factors are the location, size of the palm tree and how low the temperatures fall in your area:
- Planted in the garden: Trunk protection for the trunk and heart, combined with root protection over the bale.
- In the bucket on the terrace or balcony: Potted plant bag over the entire plant, optionally with a viewing window for inspection without opening.
- Check dimensions: Trunk protection for heights up to 150 cm and trunk diameters up to 35 cm, root protection for areas up to 100 cm in diameter.
- Large or multiple plants: Winter tents around 150 to 300 cm high, walk-in and with ventilation openings.
- Additional warmth: Self-limiting heating cable with 10 W per meter for the root area or inside the tent.
TipBefore purchasing, measure the trunk circumference and total height including the fronds. This then determines whether trunk protection plus root protection is sufficient or whether a potted plant bag is the better choice.
Buy palm trees winter protection for planted specimens
With palm trees in the bed, the root ball cannot be carried into the house - that's why the combination of two components is important: the root protection insulates the ground area, the trunk protection encloses the trunk and heart and drains away precipitation. In rough locations or for particularly valuable specimens, you can also place a winter tent over the plant.
Heated palm tree winter protection for harsh nights
If the insulation alone is not sufficient, it is heated: A self-limiting heating cable with 10 W per meter automatically adjusts its output to the ambient temperature, is weather-resistant and is laid on the trunk or in the root area under the fleece. In winter tents, a frost monitor with a thermostat performs the same task for the entire interior.
InfoWinter hardiness varies greatly depending on the species: hemp palms are considered comparatively robust, Washingtonia or Phoenix are sensitive to even light frost and need protection earlier - if in doubt, plan one size warmer.
How to properly protect palm trees in winter?
Four steps that determine success:
- Cover the root area: mulch, leaves or root protection over the ball. Additionally insulate the bucket and place it on a Styrofoam or wooden plate.
- Bunch the fronds loosely upwards and cover the heart dry - moisture in the heart is the most common cause of frost damage.
- Cover the trunk and crown with fleece or a potted plant bag, secure it loosely at the bottom and never tie it off to make it airtight.
- On mild, dry days, ventilate and water sparingly: the bale should not dry out, but should never be wet and frozen.
Frequently asked questions about palm tree winter protection
The most important points about timing, selection and ordering at a glance:
When should you apply winter protection to palm trees?
In Germany, the root area is usually covered from the end of October to mid-November, the trunk and crown at the latest before the first nights of persistent frost. Packed up permanently too early, there is a risk of rot - so order in good time and then put on depending on the weather. The protection is removed when severe night frost is no longer expected, usually in March or April.
Which products are suitable for winter protection of palm trees in the garden?
For planted palms the combination of root protection and trunk protection, for potted palms a potted plant bag over the entire plant. For large crowns or several plants in one place, an overwintering tent makes sense, supplemented by a heating cable if longer periods of permanent frost are expected.
Can I use the winter protection for several winters?
Yes, the fleeces and tarpaulins are designed for use over several years. It is important to store them in a dry place in the spring and not to fold them up when they are damp. You get a 24 month guarantee on BioGreen products.
