I appreciate your help, I am always welcome to whatever critisms others may have. The misrepresentation was just pure sloppiness on my behalf, for that i appologize. Yucca alofolia 'MARGINATA' is simply the terminology for vaiegated isn't it? I understant the zone map, I just think they could find a ...

St. Louis is right on the border of USDA zones 5 and 6, 5b/6a, the city and about a ten mile radius around it is in the new zone map as 6a. I have never fully understood how they come up with the zones, but it seems to be fairly reliable. Although being in zone 5 would a winter minimum average of ...

That looks more like it. I'll have to keep my eyes open next time i'm in the area. Yes, clayton and ladue do intersect, good memory! I made some progress with photobucket, apparently i was having trouble becuase i already had a photobucket account so when i could upload it would only take my new ...

I wrap some burlap around them when the cold is prolonged just to protect the wood ...

sorry for the delay, it took me a long time to figure out how to upload pictures. Then i had to set up a photobucket account so i could do so. I only grabbed a couple for now from years past. I will post more recent ones later. these are summer and winter photos. Hopefully this works! IMG]http ...

Thank you all so much. I agree with you that we have gotten spoiled here! I can remember the late 80's somewhat and i remember a lot of snow! I generally welcome the snow though with my palms, its the wind and freezing rain that gets me anxious. Barb, you are probably right about transplant shock ...

I have many palms in the ground here in St. Louis and every year i slightly decrease protection but stay ready to add more if needed. My favorite amongst them is my 8 year old Pindo which i moved this summer to a warmer more protected spot in the garden. We stayed in the mid 40's and up until late ...
