Wxman nice to see your W.robusta survived.What temp did it endure in the eclosure. Have you thought of trying a pure W. filifera? I would try one myself but just can`t bring myself to spend the extra money on heating. My four in ground T. fortunei need little heat to make it through our winters her...

Yes it does, all I have left from that experience is the electric bill :lol: Great job with your winter protection! How did the Sago fare? (I remember the photo from your other post, any new growth yet?) Steve My robusta has put out 2 fronds since April. I have 3 in ground robustas now. Here is the...

That sucks that you lost your robusta. Mine went through its first winter outside. Minimum temp was -15F with most every day from late Nov through early March below freezing during the day.

Hey man, just wondering if your tree made it

I'm in Wisconsin, you?

Paul, I had five palm enclosures this winter, and the total cost for electrical for them per month was about $60 in Dec and Jan and $40 in Feb. The first two months were extremely cold and I wasn't able to take advantage of solar heating much due to cloudy days and cold temperatures. Next winter I m...

wxman I am in chicago and im heading down to florida did you need me to bring you a big palm back. I think I remeber seeing you wanted one on another board I don't think I'm getting anything right now. I think I'm gonna stick with what I have. By adding the mountain coconut, that'll be 6 palms to p...

Wx,you did such a good job overwintering,those palms are going to blast off into outer space this season (with that much green to sart out with),or at least upper space! WELL DONE! 8) I hope so. I want to add three feet of trunk on my robustas this year. Can't wait to put my mountain coconut in the...

Wow nice to see you overwintering W.robusta B.capitata T.fortunei Cycas rev. Are you using the the heat lamps for warmth? They look great. No worry about sunburn in the spring being in a opaque plastic cold frame. John Yeah I used 125 watt heat lamps in each cold frame and mini xmas lights around t...

All protection is now down unless we get significant cold (18 or lower for Trachy and Butia, 25 or lower for Washingtonia and Sago).

I ordered a parajubaea torallyi off Ebay 10 days ago and it came today!! I rolled the dice with the weather and hoped there would be no major arctic outbreaks in the country when I ordered it. It came from California. I just had to order it now because who knows if this palm will be on Ebay come sum...

Did the majesty every survive?

Everything looks well protected! I'm curious to see how your Sago does, are you using the same set up with it?


Steve

Yes I am using the same setup with it.

I have two washingtonia robustas, one trachycarpus fortunei, one butia capitata, and one cycas revoluta in the ground here in SE WI. We have seen it get as cold as -2F, and today at noon its only 4F outside! Here they are before protecting: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y255/wxman81/IMG_0870.jpg ...

Just wondering how your Robusta is doing on its third winter in the ground?
