Great Pics! will have to show my wife so she doesn't think I'm the only one hooked on a lot of palms at home.

Where do you over winter that big Queen Palm?

Hi Scott long time no talk. I keep it in my garage that has a 12 ft. ceiling. Just barely enough. Soon I will be putting it on it`s side soon to over winter. Still got the palm bug here 8)

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 Cam. I`ve seen the good work you are doing with palms as well. Canadian it is a date palm. It will be haet tape protected this winter. Mike thanks for your comment. I only wish I could have access to the palms you guys on the eastern side of our country are able to buy. More palms to plant soon.
