Good result Tim, you did have any heat for that Trachy ? I know that you don t really need where you are.
Don t worry Henoh, you are not alone, still at leat 30 cm here north of Montreal, plus snow bank of 3-4 feets. But its melting quite fast now, days between +6 to +8c and night near freezing point. We are finally in the normal .

thanks everyone.
Beny, I did have a string of mini lights around the trunk which were kept on most of the winter....except when we lost power for 35 hours......and that night dropped to -2.9F (-19.3C).

Well done Tim I'm very impressed with the growth rate of your plant.

it appears many of the upper fronds did get a little damage. The fronds aren't opening up fully.

Mine fold up like that when they're thirsty.
But with all your rain, doubt that's it.
Gorgeous nevertheless, Tim.

Any tunnels around it in the soil, Tim?

So there are tunnels?
Mousetraps (like we discussed in another post that seemed to work), baited with peanut butter.
Covered with a bucket with a rock on top so cats/dogs/kids don't get hurt.

I haven't killed one vole yet with mouse traps! What else works?
PS, I didn't see any obvious vole destruction near the T. nainintal.

Hawks, owls and a catWhat else works?
But I don't think that's vole damage.
Are the fronds opening up more each day, or still the same?

last time I looked at the nainital the leaves looked the same (slightly folded). Do you think they will open up more as time goes by?

Wait until you get some rain and 70s(next month the way things are going )and see how they respond....
my Trachys are not looking great either as it has not been very good palm weather lately-they are still sleeping.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

How's the spear, Tim? My plain fortunei look real similar to yours - freezer burnt, but I expect a recovery. I had heavy protection - r13 from the ground to the crown, and covered with plastic. I kinda half-@$$ed the top, and think the cold infiltrated there. We had 2-3 low single digit nights and 2 72+hr freezes. Of all the damaged trachies I've seen posted on the HP&SB, the nainital have looked the best.
How is your inground citrus - I think it was a thomasville citrangequat or citrumelo?

My Nainital croaked its first winter in the ground.
All while a regular Trachy did fine in a pot for the first 2 months of winter in an alcove!
Not impressed with Nainitals, but hope yours bounces back as it was a good size.

Looks like it has taken a beating for sure with repeated damage from cold.
Yours looks like one of the more cold hardy Naintal judging by its structure-
hopefully the crown is a little better insulated then those leaves .
