It was to tall cover this past winter but i covered the base and thats what saved it this past winter. The top part died but it came back at base it got down in the 20 and even single didits here in zephyrhill, fl. But I never saw it bloom. It gets the morning sun then its in the shade after 1:00 is that why? Its been planted there for the last 5 yrs. I have a pony tail palm its 30 yrs old it was round 15′ tall.

The temperature often drops to 5 degrees celsius and it is thriving. Interesting to note that so far it has only flowerd once. I’ve had a “Pony Tail” on my south facing balcony for over twelve years.

The plants did experience so lower temperatures to around 24-25 for a brief period of time. I hope that helps!
