Thx Guy's for your comments :D ...the LED rope heat a bit when you put your hand on and wait few minutes, you ll feel the heat. But i think i will continue to use the Easyheat tape, all the palms i wrapped (except the one at my house with the LED) had that tape and i had good result with that. Cost ...

I tried on a Butia and it had almost no damage, but mine at my home had a bit more burned tips. I ve had a probe Inside 2 wrapping and the lowest temp. i monitorized was -6c even at -28c outside. So i think this technique can work for Windmill, Butia, Needle and Chamaerops. But for smaller palms i w...

I never had problem with the 2x2 box, even if the roots goes outside the larger of the box. Maybe because we have 1-2 feets of snow every year over it. Im doing the same protection with the wrapping as for the box. 9-12 feets heatcable Easyheat with their own thermostat around the base on the ground...

I thought LED gave off next to no heat... are you thinking that that strand gives off enough heat to keep the fronds from burning? I though the samething about the LED, but when the strand is on, it take 3-4 min to feel the heat. So, if our finger feel the heat, its because that heat is over 37c . ...

Ca fait plaisir ....and im agree, i like the Sabal too...but in Kansas, they have better climate than here. But with adding 2-3 inches insulation, we should have the same result.
