Great to see you got them covered in time.
At some point do you think you will start to hurricane cut them(to a degree) to limit growth?

Something else you might try to maintain height is to hurricane cut them. By necessity I've had to do that with 3 of my windmill palms for various reasons the palm will have to spend the whole next season growing new fronds not adding height. I have 7 of them around my yard now (among other species ...

Just a quick update, pulled everything out this past weekend. The three palms around my deck/pergola came out great but the one that is out by my shed lost all of it's fronds again (happened two years ago) Only thing I can figure is that it's out in the open with only the shed to it's northeast for...

They tend to grow thicker rather than higher in the first few years. Once they hit their max base diameter, up they go. Yours looks nice and wide at ground level so up she will go. With adequate water, you will soon see a foot of trunk growth a year. It's a nice looking Palm. Nice to know since I h...

I'm no expert but I too have one about that size that also faces SW, but is partially blocked by extension of the garage on the South side. Throws spear after spear but doesn't seem to grow all that much in over all height. While I wish it was 4/5 ft taller..that would mean it would take more to pro...

You must have a warm garage with sunlight? Attached garage is well insulated and even at 0F doesn't get to freezing in there. I do have a propane wall mounted heater that I can turn on when temps drop below 0f for extended time which doesn't happen often. I also had installed 12 can lights so can k...

Well have two barrels done now for winter 2015/2016 Foam lined all the way around and sticking nicely. One thing about these two barrels is how they stack, so something to keep in mind if anyone else is looking for this type of set up when looking for barrels. Ends are tapered enough to where they a...

Sun Tubes themselves aren't that expensive. They come in 10inch and 14inch sizes. Without ever seeing one in some body else's garage I opted for the larger size. The real expense is if you have to have it installed by someone..which I did. When it comes to cutting holes in the roof of your home, I d...

John, my garage never drops below freezing. I have newer insulated garage doors, and I've added insulation to the attic above the garage. Years ago I added a wall mounted propane wall heater so if outside temps are predicted to drop below 0F I will turn it on LOW and let it run all the time. Doesn't...
