Every palm that is in the ground-z5 Iowa
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:28 am
Forecast is for temps running 30-40F(night) 55-65F and dry the next ten days.
You just saw some of these but here is the complete list,Cordyline in there too deserves(after returning 4 years in a row) some acknowledgment.
Here-
I will try and keep the center alive this year-it already came close!

The Trachys
The 2 that I started with in November 2007,both along
with the smaller of the 2 Fortunei pulled in 2010 and were cut (nearly)to the ground and recovered.
Earliest picture-probably April 2007-the one in front had been dead for months.

I cut a dozen leaves off this year cold/drought-
"If it one thing its another"
T.Fortunei

This Tesan is 6 years old and has probably pulled
at least 6-10 times,combination of bug spray and cold.This will be the make or break year I suppose...I don't put anything past it though(happy)

Smaller lighter colored and slower T.Nainital-already pulled....small palms can have it rough.
Only looks green because it is still around freezing...

T.Takil 1

T.Takil 2-spear pulled again in fall(this year and last)-just to much warmth before the cold hit.
It grew back 4 leaves this year=hope it is up for it again!
