    I live in Missouri and last year my uncle dug up a small palm tree from southern Florida and brought it back for me. The tree was very small and didnt look so well after the trip up to me. The tree came back with no problems and grew really well. During this past winter it sat by a window, and although its growth slowed, it looked really healthy.

    We have had a really early spring where I am, and as soon as temps hit the 60s and
    70s (in early March), I put it back outside. It started growing again and looking really healthy.

    We had cooler weather move in about two weeks ago. I assumed the temps would be too cold so I had to bring it in for about a week in a half. During that time it sat in the same window it had been in all winter long.

    now after that week and a half, it looks like its dying. Its very brown, and the leaves just dont look good. Its been outside for about a week with no improvement.


    Im wondering what I can do to save it? Any ideas would be gratefull.

    Here is a pic taken today.
