Cover the roots with straw or a layer of mulch to insulate and keep warm. 2. Wrap the trunk with straw mats. The trunks of silver date palms and Washingtonia palms can be completely wrapped with straw mats. 3. After tightening the crown, secure it with four thin bamboo sticks and then wrap it with straw mats, ensuring no branches or leaves are exposed. Crown protection for small-sized Canada date palms: After tightening the crown, wrap the entire plant with straw mats, ensuring no branches or leaves are exposed. 4. Regarding water and fertilizer management, pay attention to proper fertilizer and water management two months before winter to ensure the palm leaves turn a sallow color and improve their cold resistance. 7.
