Outside...if you can find something like a thermocube there(turns on heat/power @35F/on,turns power off @45F)...these make it really easy to overwinter if you need supplemental heat as I do here,the only other thing is to watch it doesn't overheat but even that is tough with a Washy,I saw the temp 1...

The size of the palms matters too in regard to when they can be uncovered,Trachys(Fortunei) with 2'+ to 3' trunks can be outside for 3 to 7 days in temps in the20F (lows) 35F (highs) range.. .smaller Trachys should not be left out in temps that are much below freezing at first. My Waggie has been un...

Nainital was let go due to the shade it casts on the cactus bed & because it would not be moved if I find a house around here. <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea641/media/orbea641096/DSCF0529_zpscxot3359.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photob...

It's probably not practical at heir size to keep them someplace warm like inside the house but thats what the roots need. When I got my first 3 Fortunei Nov ...
