Uncovered my windmill palm last weekend

Post by wxman » Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:50 pm

Finally getting around to posting pics, but I uncovered my windmill palm last weekend. Here's how it looks after the 3rd coldest winter ever. Its pushing 10' tall and looks better than some windmill palms in Atlanta :)

very nice. Those magnolias will be great. I tried to plant one but was too small, just a twig. It's still alive, but half of the trunk is dry.

Always enjoy your new growing season pics every spring, Wxman. Looks better than mine for sure! How does the other trachy look?

Now, you'll have those atlanta boys in an uproar over that statement, sir !

Barely tell it's been through winter. Great job with the protection.
