St george is only 300 miles south from me that's where i get most of my palms. We have family that lives there so we spend a couple weeks a year down there. If you get around some more there are some larger butias and cidp as well as some very large true dates. At the crystal inn there is a cidp wit...

Great yard! Love the Pheonix!! The Yucca is great......must be one of those rostrata x rigida types since it has 'U' shaped leaves. Let us know if that form is hardy in your area. Rigida is less hardy than rostrata (rigida is more of a zone 8 plant where rostrata is more like a zone 6 plant). I hop...

Mine seem to grow best with highs in the 70s to low 80s we never got that this year it went from 40s 50s to 90 it snowed may 31st here. Worst spring of my life.

It really slowed the trachys recovery this spring and now its too hot to grow we will see how it looks come october i guess, i may have to protect it this year.

Well it's not hot everywhere we had the coldest and wettest spring ever recorded here in slc. We have only hit the 80's 3 or 4 times all year. Most miserable start to a year I have ever seen here.

Ultimate low i seen on my outdoor thermometer was 6 degrees but we did have almost 2 weeks where it barely got above freezing, no large snows this year maybe 6 inches was the biggest that i received at my house. Picture of the cidp uncovered it about 2 weeks ago seen a low of around 22 degrees no da...

[quote="lucky1"]Hi ttls1, thanks for posting the link to your album. That's it!!!!! I'm moving to Northern UTAH. Might be easier to clad my entire house in brick to give off warmth. I had no idea that palms would grow at your elevation(s) ... having enough trouble with mine at 1200 feet. F...

Are you in SLC? If I recall correctly from other posters in that area it is generally 6b or 7a depending on elevation and proximity to the lake. I've not seen a CIDP from that area before, that's impressive. Do you happen to know if that really old, really rough looking T. fortunei in SLC is still ...

No there is not really many desert plants around here, there are some at peoples homes and slc has a very big joshua tree. They are usually in specific planters with pretty much gravel as soil they survive the cold here but must have excellent drainage to do so. In st george joshua trees are everywh...

According to usda we are 6b but in reality we havent hit temps that cold where i live in 10 years we are generally 7a/7b borderline arbor day map shows us as a zone 7. Canary gets boxed up i use 2" foam insulation with a flourecent light inside. Eventually it will probably get to big but ill en...
