ScottyON

Thanks for the post Adam! I'm headed there on Tuesday! Going to hit up Vineland Nursey and I have ordered two American Hollies from Clint at Stevensville.

ScottyON

Looking forward to seeing them all tomorrow when I arrive.

Same in Kingston. 2 days around 80 and a beautiful stretch of weather. You can start to see a sea of green in the trees!

ScottyON

Snow is gone from Kingston except for piles by the curbs thanks to the warmth at the beginning of the week. Looks crappy here too until things start to warm up next saturday! Sounds like a similar trend all over the north east. Don't even remind me of last year! Remember though. Its not actually ...

Like Jim said. The spear and inner leaves look good! You'll probably lose all the outer leaves. I'm sure you'll protect that method!

Hey everyone. Thanks for the comments. It's just a heavy duty tarp I use to wrap the palms in. I bought it from an industrial supplier. I also have one layer of shirk wrap around it first. I have lots of videos on my YouTube channel and a couple before and after videos when I wrapped the palms in ...

ScottyON

You almost had a sneak peak at something else! Ill wear jeans and a belt next time

ScottyON

Hey Andy. Beautiful trachy you have there! It's amazing what will grow in the UK. Very similar to the wet coast of Canada. I follow a few English gardiners on YouTube and love seeing he palms you grow with ease. Thanks for the comment regarding the fronds. I hope the problem corrects its self next ...

ScottyON

Wow. 8.5! Bigger than mine! Hope it still fits in the palm hut!

ScottyON

Good for you Cameron!

ScottyON

Thanks Jim! Finally cooling off now there?

ScottyON

Holy smokes that palm has grown! How many feet tall is it now? I think the bamboo has gone to wild to try and contain it. Should have done that at the start.

ScottyON

Great to chat with you Barb! Your old trachy must be gettin pretty tall now eh? How tall is it!? If you were my neighbour I woul gladly share!

ScottyON

Thanks igor! It's good to be back. Hope you're well!

ScottyON

Hey everyone, It's been along time since I posted on the Palms North Board. I miss chatting with all the people here who are not connected to the North East Board or the Hardy Palms and Subtropical Board. Here is an update video on my yard in Kingston Ontario, zone 5b/6a. Enjoy! Thanks!! Scott ...

ScottyON

Great yard Doug! Love the two Trachys by the water! By the way. Have you even seen the videos of the two tall Trachys that guy has in Clarkston?

ScottyON

My BBB will keep some.. That's about it.. Too cold this winter!!

ScottyON

Bill's place is quite the sight!! Great palm! Hope it does well for you!! 82f at your place Jim!!?? That's nuts!! Enjoy it

ScottyON

Hey all, It's been a while since I posted here. Hope everyone is enjoying Spring! I made a video on the garden today if you didn't see it in the Northeast Board.. <object width="640" height="510"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rp8g3a_7xhE?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name ...

ScottyON

Cool pics Erik. How far away from your place is that???

ScottyON

I honestly nver would have thought that you could get that cold there! I really hope your plants pull through. I would definatly listen to the vets around here with there suggestions...

ScottyON

Hey Mike.. What an awesome deal man! I'll tell my dad for sure... Still not sure what do do this summer with regards to more palms. I know I dont have near as many as some on this board but I might be getting close to my personal maximum. The big 6.5 sucker I got from you seems to be happy in the ...

ScottyON

The still pretty much require the same protection in zone 6 if you want them to do well and grow larger. There are some that don't heat in the niagara area, but I know that those palms are from BC where most of the ones we get here are from California or Florida which are not as hardy.. If you wrap ...

ScottyON

I have the large c-9 bulbs and they are fine. No burn.. I only warp the trunk. The heat rises and fills the enclosure. They also don't run 24/7. They run for about 20 minutes then off for half an hour or so when the temps are around 20f outside. On a sunny day they don't run much at all.. I'll be ...

ScottyON

Glad to see that all is well for you Tim. Looks like your experiments are paying off. I wonder how our trachy's are doing (the ones unheated)?? Are you going to switch to the larger bulbs for next year?? I bet that large Trachy will start to look a whole lot better once the warmer weather comes ...

ScottyON

Brutal winter eh Tim?! Though your plants are looking good! Let's hope the coldest is behind us now. How's the mag looking. Probably doesn't mind the cold weather too much eh?

ScottyON

Looking great Barb!!!

ScottyON

I feel like pulling a Bill, grabing a u-haul and heading down!! I do think they would like me at the border though!

ScottyON

Your videos kick mines ass with those cool graphics plus the added bonus at the end! Your palm hut looks great! Looks like you'll need to give me some tips in how to make them look nice. Too bad about the huge sable! Man it's cold where you are!!!

ScottyON

Mike in Montreal does ship. He shipped some to Jordan in Newfoundland... Paul, he actually can get HC palmettos. he tried to see me one last year. He'll pretty much get you anyone you want. Paul is right about Coles too! Tony is great to deal with and also has a good selection of other hardy ...

ScottyON

Things are looking good Jim! Not too bad so far. What a huge melt you guys have had. We hit 50f today for a bit!! No snow here as well and I'm loving it.. Thanks for posting the pics.. Happy New Year..

ScottyON

Thanks for the inside scoop Barb!!

ScottyON

Wow, over wintering a Queen! I hope it makes it!

ScottyON

You guys don't need to convince me! Try telling my wife that!!haha

ScottyON

I wish I could but some needles along the fence but I've been told I'm taking up too much of the grass!! haha...
