Nothing to see here..........

Post by hardyjim » Sat Feb 27, 2016 12:38 pm

Nainital was let go due to the shade it
casts on the cactus bed & because it would
not be moved if I find a house around here.

I did try trunk cutting it in an effort to cover
it if it was still alive after January but...no go.

Same here,with the Fortunei on the left.

2 unprotected S.Lou and the Waggie(uncovered already) behind.

S.Lou

still alive after winter-their cold hardiness
is amazing even at(especially) this size...

S.Brazoria still green..

Little McCurtain unprotected for 3 years- amazing.

This Fortunei had a cover but no heat or ventilation
it was covered in mold but the spears are not ready
to pull,all these uncovered/unheated palms saw -4F
twice and a normal(which is cold) January.

Back of the cactus enclosure...Variegated Aloifolia has
a suspicious lean to it.....cactus enclosure was not heated
this year and I believe saw 7F...

Amazingly the Trichocereus still looks solid!

Princeps


Little crunchy but looks good.

Last time I uncovered the C.Cooperi it started growing
and has had its new crozier bonked when the cover goes
back on...nice to see this one ready to blast off already.

Trifoliate orange seems to have made it through...

Yucca Pallida seems to have made it through easily..

<a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/user/orbea6 ... l.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm22 ... hadevl.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo DSCF0532_zps7ihadevl.jpg"/></a>

Probably the last time the Washy trunk can be sawed down to
accommodate the small cover.

Jim- You need to buy another house just to have the extra space! Shame so many good ones are so badly injured this year.

Sad for some, but amazed by others. I love the cactus house. 8)

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.

Thanks guys...the ones that are dead/damaged
would not be moved so I saw no point in covering them...

Thinking of replacing the larger Nainital and Fortunei
that bit it with the big variegated Aloifolia and my
other larger Aloifolia,easier to protect if needed and
much more hardy...maybe. :D
