Wow! John those are awesome!

Windmill .... looks like an CanaryIslandDatePalm or Phoenix to me. Knuckleheads

Love all those Washy's!

Wish my climate was a bit more mild. I'd plant some. -9 just a couple days ago and -3 this morning.
I can't imaging trying to protect some through that kind of cold.

Love your photos!
Mark

Nice palms.
How are you protecting the Sabal "Louisiana"?

Missing in the palm garage pics is the Queen...still dusting the ceiling?

The Needles look like they're growing already!

Your filiferas and robustas are going to get huge this year.
The troopers in GHs did great this winter.

Great job as always.
This is your earliest "opening" (or maybe just earliest picture posting).

Thanks for your comments. Wes I have so many Washy`s because when I first started out in this hobby 7 1/2 years ago they were the easiest to germinate and grow. I use to have a lot more ,but have sold many over the last few years. Erik the S.louisiana are normally with the Trachy`s under the palm hut . I had taken it off for the day when the pics were taken.
Mark you would be surprised at what you can grow and get through the winter. There are qiute a few here that are in colder zones than yourself. Barb one more month and we should be in the clear for any more killing cold temps. Bring on spring!

Don the garage stays about 8c-48f on average throughout the winter. Bill thanks for the reply. I`m sure we will be seeing updates from you soon?
