Just beautiful!

How often should I fertilize my windmill palms and needle palm? They are still not big yet so I don't want to give them too much. What fertilizer should I use? Is there a fertilizer that I can buy here in Ontario Canada?

Hi everyone! Here are a couple of pictures of my windmill palms. To me, it looks like they are going to make it. I took a picture of the needle palm but I didn't like the way the picture turned out. I'll take another picture soon. Any tips on how to take care of my palms?... fertilizers, watering, e...

I uncovered my two windmill palms and my needle palm. So far, they look pretty good. The needle palm has no damage at all. My banana plants didn't make it. They were all mushy. I'll try and take some pictures soon. Is there something I should do to help my palms transition well from being covered to...

Your palm looks amazing!

Temperatures around here are going to be in the 40s and 50s for the next week. The lowest temperature for night time low in the next week will be 30 on Saturday night, 34 on Sunday night and 36 on Monday night. Night time temps for other nights this week will be in the 40s.

I live in Windsor, Ontario Canada. I have a windmill palm, a needle palm and 3 musa basjoo. I still have them in their winter protection. Can I start to uncover them? I'm a bit concerned because there is still a possibility of below zero C nights. I hope I have better luck than last year.

How do I add heat? ... wrap Christmas lights around the palm and plugging the string of lights to an extention cord to the house?

I'm discouraged. The windmill palm that I thought might make it is dead also. So both of the 2 that I had are gone. The needle palm in the front still looks like it has some life in it but I'm not sure for how long. Should I cut off the dry fronds? I plan on buying a couple windmills and try this ag...

I'll see how the needle palm and the one Trachie do after this cold spell. The other Trachie is officially dead. The center of it pulled out very easily a few days ago. If they all go, I will try again with new plants one more time. Hopefully, the place where I bought them last time will sell them a...

Barb, there is a town called Essex that is very close to Windsor Ontario. I am assuming that that is where Lance is. I hope it's not the Essex in England. Well, I had to cover the palms again. It has become cold and we got some snow last night. I hope that this cold spell doesn't kill the needle pal...

Hi Lance, I'll give you my e-mail address and we can go from there. If you got a windmill to 6 feet you've had more luck than I have had. I got one to survive winter last year but that windmill didn't make it through this winter. If Colasanti's sells windmills this spring, I'll buy a couple more and...

I hope this works. The first two should be...

Well, I'm pretty sure one of my windmill palms is dead. The trunk feels soft. The other one... maybe, maybe! It looks a bit better after I put the fungicide on it. The needle palm does look promising. Should I be doing something to help them now? Fertilize? or something else?

I called around to different garden centers and no one heard of the term frost cloth or row cover... I was surprised. There is one place that might have something to put over plants to avoid frost but I'm not sure if it's frost cloth. I'll go to Canadian Tire to see what they have. Now I'm waiting f...

I bought the fungicide today so the next day it is around 10C and sunny I'll spray the palms I'm worried about. I am wondering if I could still get frost cloth this time of year... or is that something that is only available in the fall? I covered the palms with tarp again. It is supposed to rain in...

Where do I get frost cloth? I have tarp covering the top of the palms now and burlap around the sides.

Should I cover them if it rains or gets a bit below freezing?

I uncovered my two windmill palms today here in Windsor, Ontario. The leaves were dark green and moist. One one the centre looked ok on the other, it was dark green like the other leaves. There was also a bit of a white mildewy substance on them. I did my best to protect them. I tied the leaves up, ...

I started with 2 windmill palms last year. Both of them made it through the winter but one died after a late spring frost. I replaced it with another windmill palm. I also bought a needle palm this year and 2 pindo palms that I transplanted in larger pots. I am looking for ideas on how to properly c...
