Myra Canyon Trestle Winter Hike

An excellent place to visit all times of the year. Myra Canyon is located just outside Kelowna BC Canada. https://palmsnorth.com/pics/myra/20230121_150610.jpg Originally built by hand at the turn of the last century. There are 2 tunnels and 18 trestle bridges. https://palmsnorth.com/pics/myra/202301...

Re: Anyone growing cold hardy palms etc?

I haven't posted in a long time. My Oklahoma cold-hardy palm, I drove to Oregon with a decade ago, and added some new ones at 45oN. No protection at all. Doing well, esp. the Trachy "waggies." I haven't been since August 2021 so rely on my brother for pictures. My SW Florida collection is...

Re: Hooray it's spring again! How was everybody's winter?

Well I didn't protect anything as usual this winter. I have about four rostratas that didn't make it. My trunking rostrata looks great and my other trunking yucca recurvifolia looks like it will pull through. My baccatas look great as well. I guess I will have to wait and see. All my cacti look good...

Re: Hooray it's spring again! How was everybody's winter?

Sorry to hear about your Washingtonia palms! I had a colder winter than usual. Plus lot's more snow.
I'm pretty sure most of my Yucca rostratas are fried. :( My biggest one survived so I'm happy about that.
