WOW! ... truly amazing the lengths you hardy growers go to in the east. Hey ... shoot another vid in spring or summer as a comparison. Hope you guys get an early spring.

Cheers, Barrie.

Scotty,
Thanks for posting that great video.
Adds another element to see the yard and where everything is.
Palm hut is in a nice sheltered area, those palms will do soooooo well this year.

Your palms look great inside the enclosure, so does the magnolia (wow).
I think brown tips on palms are pretty standard for all of us :lol:

Re that plant you "can't pronounce", could it be the one that rhymes with "anonymous"? just call it YOU-NI-MUSS, the nurseries will know!

Great looking yuccas too, especially that elata.

Have you peeked inside the Musa cover? Mine inside the cold building looks thrashed.
Hope yours fares better.

Barb

Is "BLE" (broad leaf evergreen) a common moniker in the east. No one here ever uses that term, always is botanical or sometimes common name.

Cheers, Barrle.

That phrase is used down here in gardening circles.

Great job Scotty


Looking good as we've turned the corner now.

I wouldn't worry to much about your Washy hut overheating,the higher sun angle should balance that out.
Good to keep an eye on it though,as you know!
