Thanks guys . Most palms away from the buiding have some form of heat except needles and sabal minor. All palms near foundation have no heat at all, so we do loose some palm fronds but they regenerate quickly
thanks

Thanks guys . The ones away from the building had some form of heat and most of the stuff near the foundation did not have any heat. No heat in Montreal means we will loose some leaves but they are quick to regenerate
thanks

Thanks guys for the comments. My Bananas are looking good but usually look even better . Lucky(Barb) I wish I could say the palm capital of Canada, but the reality is I still have to protect mine unlike some locations in B.C . Probably the most amount of palms for sale and the most varieties for sal...

Hi Barb your palm looks Great!! I love the slight lean it has, must be windy there. Wxman- Does Not get any better than that absolutely beautiful Beny- Palm looks alright -it will be like new by the end of May for us here in Montreal. We had a brutal winter here in Montreal this year. We will improv...

The Next load will also arrive end of April or early May and will be a big load full 53 foot tractor trailer. One weejk after that I will get my yuccas-agave...

Starting to open the palms and bananas slowly. Winter seems to be dragging on this year but I am guessing all my palms will be open within the next 10 days. Here is a quick teaser video with some info on how I protected them. Enjoy the show and more videos to come with the big palms mike http://yout...

coconutmike

Yes Barb. 10 years ago they used to sell the roof heating cables also for use in raised garden beds and if the wire intersects at any point they either melt or in my case send the arbotex into flames. I remember that year all the palms and bananas on that side of my house turned black from the fire ...

coconutmike

I had thermocubes fail in the past. I also had those type of heating cables catch on fire so I am nervous about using this type of heat cable. I am using a commercial type of heating and so far so good. We will soon see. That last dumping of snow here has delayed us for about 2 weeks.

coconutmike

I unwrapped my plants between March 11-15 even here in Montreal last year.

coconutmike

Plants look good as usual -I love that bubble protection in the first image. Reminds me of that movie Bubble Boy.
Awesome Dude!

coconutmike

Hey Scott-looks really good and I am sure way easier to construct than those old enclosures
Good Job

coconutmike

Yeah the mummy wrap so far appears to be a good method -it requires more energy and costs more to have heat cables plugged in, but the convenience and storage aspect may balance the additional cost

coconutmike

Here is an update for my trachy with the mummy wrap technique. It looks pretty good even though it has not been this cold in Montreal for more than a decade.

Looks good Ben -keep it up. Here is my muumy wrapped palm and seedlings mid-January before the cold snap

My Needle palms get mulch at the base and some get a styrofoam bos and others get bubble wrap tarps or 4 foot flower pots. My biggest is 6+ feet and the best method so far is the box. For you you could get away with wrapping it tight mulch base, wrap with frost cloth and then use the bubble wrap ins...

coconutmike

Palms look Great!! Jeff. Hope our cold snap does not last too much longer we have down to -32C with the windchill so -25.6F

Sabal Minor is a very tough type of palm does very well in Montreal even with not too much care. I got them- even up to 7 feet this year. But not allowed to ship that out of Canada. What size you looking for I could point you in the right direction. I got a friend in North Caroline who could Pick th...

coconutmike

Looks good Jeff -Great protection and way more solid then what I make. Send posts come spring I liked your summer pics

Hey Barb Chamaerops Humilis Cerifera is native to Morrocco and is tender but proving to be just as hardy as the regular Chamaerops but the light is for heat -1-23w energy saver flourescent is enough to keep it great
cheers

coconutmike

Thanks Barb-try to feed your palm more often -try different types to see what work best
have fun

coconutmike

Thanks Adam. I got those hollow rocks from the same guy that makes my fibreglass ponds/waterfalls .

Hey guys this new palm protection may replace our faithfull palm boxes in the future. Also tried the mummy wrap tent method on 1 palm check out the video this method is the closest thing to keeping a natural look to your palm at least until Christmas or after New Years in zone 5. A little risky but ...

coconutmike

I have not posted for a bit and I see that your trachy's reaaly gave a push this year good job
mike

coconutmike

I agree with the soil being too damp and I am not sure about planting chamaerops in the shade -this works for trachycarpus but the one at my dad's place has been in the part shade for 4 years and is still only about 6-7 feet tall. It is however suckering quite a bit now. The other chamaerops that I ...

Hey Barb-thanks for that link. I actually have found several of these on-line. It's a fun hobby for sure. I plan to make 1 of those slide show videos soon with the latin music. It seems to help me forget about winter
