Yes, a palm can be sprayed -- under certain conditions -- with water during freezing temperatures.
Specifically, the trees in question (Arecaceae family) are susceptible to tissue damage and dehydration during freezes and frosts. The palm caregiver can spray the plant with anti-transpirants and copper fungicides -- as well as water the soil -- before predicted freezes and frosts. During freezes and frosts, it is helpful to run sprinklers -- non-stop between sunset and sunrise -- since moving water does not freeze and the moisture will keep the plant well-hydrated and prevent the damage from tissues drying up, freezing and thawing.

Can a crocodile live in a freezing lake?
The American alligator is able to survive in water temperatures approaching freezing during winter. Most crocodiles are tropical and would not survive long in freezing temperatures.
Water is sprayed in on orange grooves in very cold countries during winter why?
Spraying water on orange groves during very cold weather can help protect the fruit from freezing temperatures. As the water freezes on the surface of the oranges, it releases latent heat which helps to keep the fruit temperatures above the critical freezing point, preventing frost damage.
Does water have two freezing temperatures?
No just one.
Extreme temperatures freezing water and vegetation can cause whaT?
weathering
What is sub freezing temperature?
Sub-freezing temperatures refer to temperatures that are below the freezing point of water, which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). These temperatures can cause liquids to freeze and surfaces to become icy, posing risks for travel and outdoor activities. It is important to take precautions to stay warm and protect oneself from the cold when temperatures drop below freezing.
Why don't rivers run dry during long periods of freezing temperatures I understand that running water won't freeze but surely at the sources it would freeze and not enter the river?
Rivers are fed by groundwater and springs that are insulated by the earth, keeping them from freezing during cold temperatures. Additionally, the flow of water and mixing with warmer water prevents freezing at the source. It is normal for rivers to maintain some water flow even in freezing temperatures.
How can one prevent frozen pipes?
One can prevent pipes from freezing during cold temperatures by ensuring water runs through them. A good idea to do this is to let the tap drip. Draining the water system when going on vacation during cold spells can help pipes from freezing as well.
Can water boil at its freezing pointwhy or why not?
No. water cannot be at two different extreme temperatures simultaneously.
How does a snowmaking machine work?
Water is pumped at high pressure through a nozzle mixed with compressed air which results in a large mist. At well below freezing outside temperatures and with a mist sprayed high in the air, the mist freezes and falls to ground as snow.
What is the temperatures for freezing water in Celsius and Fahrenheit?
32 F or 0 C
Why the pipes broke during the freezing cold weather?
Pipes can burst in freezing temperatures because water inside them expands as it freezes, creating pressure that can cause the pipes to crack or burst. This is more likely to happen in uninsulated or exposed pipes. Insulating pipes and keeping a steady drip of water running during cold weather can help prevent them from freezing and bursting.
Would you find potholes in the roads of regions where temperatures are above freezing all the time Why?
Potholes can still form in regions with temperatures above freezing. When water seeps into cracks in the road and then freezes during the night, it expands, causing the pavement to crack and break. This process repeats and eventually creates potholes, regardless of the region's average temperature.
