OH, you’re asking us to get involved in a domestic dispute? That’s dangerous territory! But hopefully your husband’s not big and mean and can’t find me – so I will side with you. As ugly as it is, the dried fronds may provide some protection for stem and roots until spring when you can clean it all up and watch those beautiful green new leaves appear.
