All palms in for winter!
Move in my last 2 palms (Queens) last Saturday after a 31* morning. UGH!!
Here's some pics of their winter home. It's like winter here already with a high 42* today. WTF!
Bill,
Sorry I was sooo stressed about moving these I didn't get video or pics of the actual move.
Enjoy!

Thanks Guys!
So glad they're in.
Bill,
No wife. Got Divorced last year and shes been out for a few. The palms had nothing to do with it.
The palm move was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Rented a massive 4 wheel dolly for $9. Worked great with me and 2 other guys up the hill from the back to the front door and in horizontally.
Barrie,
Ah yes. The watering is a challenge on the 45 * angle but I get it done carefully. Can't really move them around now. 400lbs.

If they gave prizes for palm nuts, I think you would win. However...I'm getting an idea of where to put a large saguaro.

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 for all the wonderful comments guys!
Bill,
Large one leaning the opposite way from last year. My smaller one stood up straight against the ceiling last year but don't think that it will this year. I may try to stand it upright. My larger one grew a bit crooked last winter and has almost straightened out. Should correct itself leaning opposite this winter. We'll see.

Phil,
They were kind of sad and scrawny when I got them but large. I'd seen them at Flower shop in town in the summer. Then over the winter I kept trying to get a hold of the owner of them to see if he's sell them. Finally in May 2007 I got the 2 of them for $100. They've grown about 3.5 feet and many new fronds since then.
Here's a pic shortly after I got them.

Wow, Mark have they ever grown!
Hey, since you're a bachelor (and don't need to ask anyone) have you considered cutting a hole in your ceiling (= an atrium) that goes right up through your, say, master bedroom?
I've thought of it...and husband said NO. Twice!
Damn.
Nice job indeed!

One day...one day.
