do i need to cover my pheonix palm and my ornamental grasses? we are expecting a cold snap down here.

there was an item on the television the other day about palms, grasses etc........you take one of the lower leaves off..and gather the trees together with your hands,and tie with the leaf you have taken off..so they are bound together,it stops the snow and frost getting down the middle of the tree.......the guy said it really does protect them....I hope this makes sense

Do as above and cover with fleece for extra protection & they should be fine
