Some after winter updates

Post by ttls1 »

Ultimate low i seen on my outdoor thermometer was 6 degrees but we did have almost 2 weeks where it barely got above freezing, no large snows this year maybe 6 inches was the biggest that i received at my house.


Picture of the cidp uncovered it about 2 weeks ago seen a low of around 22 degrees no damage at all.

Picture of windmill no protection just christmas lights around tunk

Med palms spent some time in the garage will plant them in the next week or two.

your CIDP is a BEAUTY! Too bad your Trachy got beat up. I hope it recovers for you.

Good results, considering the cold you had last month.
I'll be in Texas over the weekend and looking forward to seeing hardy palms first hand. --Erik

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.

Impressive job with the date palm. Makes me think I should try one. But I'll bet it loves the SLC 7A more than my humid 7A.

So your going to try and over winter your Pindo outside?

How do you protect your others outside, or do you just bring them in the garage each winter?
