That is a wire mesh that I use to also protect palms. I wrap the mesh once it's around the palm with industrial strength shrink wrap that I also get from work. The beauty of using that is I can easily make the cage any height that I want by simply adding 5 ft sections. http://s14.postimg.org/o3k66wi...

Syanno, Stop at car washes as the soap comes in those barrels, or just about any place that has floor scrubbing machine. I get mine from work and we re-manufacture transmission and the empty barrels are stacked for some company to take and re cycle. I try and get the semi clear ones so some sunlight...

I used these very same plastic drums last winter much like you described. I didn't stack them. Some I left the bottom and just turned them upside down. Others I did cut top and bottom off and used tinted plexiglass over the top. For the palm that were more exposed to windy conditions I used 5ft piec...

At one time they were almost impossible to find as I looked after I saw Jim with one in a pic of his. Now, Ebay, Amazon or direct they are all over and in different sizes. Dome type and now pop up round cylinder type...(although those don't seem to have a way to vent heat) I went ahead and ordered t...

Canary Island Date Palm in zones 5-7?
Anyone have any luck....and their success story in getting these to survive winters in those zones? Picked up 3 (two smaller ones) on a road trip to California this spring. Going to just keep them in pots in garage this winter, but would sure like to plant one of the smaller ones in the spring if th...

I have almost no luck with palms that prefer dry climates. While in California th...

My garage, even on coldest nights wont drop below freezing because of extra insulation I have. Also have a wall mounted propane garage heater I fired up last winter when it got super cold here just to keep it in the 40 range. Also, before I move CIDP's inside or any palm for that matter that has spi...

I should clarify, the garage doors DO have windows in them, but not nearly enough light comes through and they face West so only late in the day. Looking into having a solar tube light installed in the 3rd car garage when palms are over wintered. Roof angle slopes to the South, so would get a fair a...

I'd put up with a lot of heaviness just to move it. Remember a guy on here that had 5/6? Queen palms in 25 gallon containers in Chicago and he over wintered his in the garage and had to use a furniture mover dolly, and two other buddies twice a year to move them...but he did. He had a pool that he p...

Went ahead and bought a small Butia Eriospatha from Steve Anderson and planted it in the ground. Will get a lot of sun here, and should be easy to protect. Hopefully planted early enough in the season(6/28/14) where it can root in a bit before cold weather hits. Is right next to one of my ponds, so ...

This new location it will get 1/2 day sun. Before the one that died was planted just to the right of the down spout in picture which is pretty much full sun, and was closer to the house and the eve of the roof kept it from getting some rain. New one is planted further away from house so will benefit...

Keep in mind the heat tape has it's own built in thermostat(at least the ones I use do) and it's located just a few inches from where it plugs in so it is inside the protecting itself(in most of my in the ground palms) so really, as long as the christmas lights inside keep temps in the say upper 30'...
