Garden in Markham, Ontario
Hi,
First I'd like to thank all of you here. I learned a lot from this site.
I started with some 'ordinary' plants then by the time I started running out of room in the garden I started looking for something different. That's how I got to palms and nanas. Unfortunatelly I can not remove any of the existing ones, I still like them all.
So many plants not enough garden.
First what I consider the centerpiece: the newly aquired palm from soutcoast gardens. It's in the ground for more than two weeks now and it's doing well.
This is a 'takil'. Is it? I'm not sure but to be honest, I don't care, i like it:
Some growth on Washingtonia hybrid;
And a little wagnerianus that is now in the ground as well:
Cactus garden:
Plumeria:
Musa Basjoo:
Lemon tree:
musella lasiocarpa:
Southern magnolia edith bogue:
cactus flower:
Fishes:
Waterfall:
Red hardy climbing roses:
An other cactus flower:
Poppy flower:
Eveninig primrose:
I hope you like them,
Tavi

Takil is a rare palm(rarest by far of the Trachys),reliable seeds have
JUST come on to the market from Europalms,
we will still need to wait to see for sure but every
indication is.....they ARE finally the real deal!

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.

Bill,
I did not overwinter neither musella nor basjoo outside. Musella was in a pot last year, and I cut it down to 6" over the winter and kept it in the garage. This year they are in the ground for good and I intend to keep them there over the winter.
Yes, I plan to give the palm the best protection possible, still reading about options. Is the hut the best one? Is any protection available that does not include extra heat?

Hey Tavi, what a nice garden visit those pictures provided.
Ontario sure has hot weather now! Send some west please.
Great plants, very healthy looking.
That Plumeria looks like it's a few years old judging from stem size.
Nothing beats plumeria flower fragrance.
I've never seen them in the nurseries here.
And a lemon tree! Wonderful picture.
Yippeeeeeeee! one more palm hut coming
Lots of winter protection ideas on this site, maybe go back in the Outdoor Palms topics for everyones' pictures of how overwintering was accomplished.
We all get a little panicky in winter, wondering if everything will be all right if the power/heaters go out.
Well done!

very nice!
Great selection of plants. Your little Waggie is great. Love to see all those koi!
Tavi,
I like the heated huts because you have access to your palms anytime and if something goes wrong you have a better chance of fixing it.
I've heard people using oak leaves all around there palms and then covering, to me that just seems like a moisture problem waiting to happen. People do it that way and have no problems I just like the access. Christmas lights are cheap to use anyways, only draw back is glowing palm huts. At least you know if there working right
