nice looking trachy. Good luck with your winter protection. Looks to me like you got it goin' on.
Maybe someday I will have a trachy that big.

Nice set up! Are you using any supplemental heat inside the box? (bulbs, heater, etc)

I bought water pipe heater wire. Wrapped it around the trunk from top to bottom. Then wrapped that with some burlap.
Only turn it on when the temps are below 20 degrees.
