Are you sure? It wasn't growing last summer at all.
Do you see this small Euphorbia in the Joshua pot? Unbelievable but this sucker takes below zero temperature too. I'm not sure if it would be able survive after long time being below 0 but so far so good.

Would've thought the snow slid off... :| Barb Look at the ceiling of the GH and you may see how much snow is on a roof. :lol: Snow keeps a temperature inside in reasonable minimum comparing with tne minimum outside.

In London (UK) I've seen some good size Brahea but no Washy.

Must be wonderful to work in there on a sunny winter day. So...does that mean the table in your house is empty? :lol: Barb It's hard to believe but there is much colder inside of the GH than outside in a sunny day. GH covered with a good layer of snow. No, the table is not empty. I have enough plan...

Oh, well.

Very nice either the plants or work ben done to protect them!!! Should post a few of my yucca plants pics...

igor.glukhovtsev

Awesome, Chad! What's a name of the grass with the purple inflorescences? Do you think Agave bracteosa will be doing fine without winter protection?

Holly Smoke! Very nice but this ice made the plants too fragile! Hope it gonna melt this weekend making the stems having less weight....

igor.glukhovtsev

Jim, you have a pretty harsh winter this year. Wish your plants to be survive anyway! It should be a great case for all of us freezing every winter in our places.... Take care!

igor.glukhovtsev

Well... Chad, it is funny: our minus 16C this morning is a good chance talking about agaves :lol: Since I have no enough room for overwintering the agaves. I have some which were left in my very bright 10-15 C temp library in my house. I put some into a deep cellar with a temperature 0 - minus 5 C. ...

I'll watch yours with interest, Igor. Is yours planted sheltered against the house or out in the open covered with snow? Barb Mine is under snow cover now.
