Uncovered Everything Today
except the CIDP, 200 feet away.
12C 54F today, finally sunshine
Trachy looks unscathed, door has been open for weeks.

I absolutely love Brahea armatas (this is one of the twins...the other one is in the cold building, potted).
It seems bulletproof, not a hint of fungus, yet it had the same covers as the Washies.
CIDP still has a whack of snow holding down the cover.
Thanks folks!
When the East warms up, our temps will tank again.

Come on Barb, let's switch weather for now... Just lots of snow here, not super cold, but no hint of even a distant spring, yet.

Snowmageddon memory is still fresh here.
We had 2 feet of snow in 2 days.
Hoping the East's arctic blast ends quickly.
Poor Massachusetts, huh?
Kitimat (in our province's north coast) had 109 cm (43 inches) of snow in one day, with 700+ people evacuated because the power was out.

Barb nice to see everything doing good. Are you going to spray that Washy with some hydrogen peroxide? I`m going to try planting one more larger W.filifera this spring. You have done well with them since planted. Your Y. rostrata`s have grown a lot since I remember them last as well as the Brahea armata. Is it spring already Got to love El Nino since Jan.

Thanks Aaron!
Have you ever had that pink mold/fungus?
It looks frothy, kinda like pink insulation!
Yes I'm sooooooo glad mild weather has arrived.
Nice to get feet on terra firma.
The older I get the more I hate winter.

Yup, once I find where I stashed it.Are you going to spray that Washy with some hydrogen peroxide?

Hi Barb. I have had some mold issues not pink but I`m sure they are just as bad no matter what color. I`ve lost a few palms because I didn`t treat them right away. The mold killed the newest spear and then it was off to a happier place I`m going to check all mine again for mold.

Probably not necessary with your large amount of airspace around palms under the plastic.I`m going to check all mine again for mold.
Or maybe if you have a leaking eavestrough nearby... like mine.
Had a few drops left of 10% hydrogen peroxide, hope that was enough until I pick up more 3%.
Thanks

Damn old light string! All bulbs were working in October when I closed it.
Oh well, thinning the herd...again.

Hope you're still warm out there, here in T.O. we've got the coldest absolute temps we've had for years and years forecast for tonight. It's supposed to hit -23C (-9F) tonight, then -24C (-11F) on Friday night. I think I'll stay home! The extreme minimum (since Jan 1. 2001) is -23.3 °C, which occurred on Mar.3 2003.
One good thing is that my place near Kingston is 'only' supposed to hit -26C, which is mild given our lows in the -30C range the past few years!

Yeah Paul, I hear ya. Although it was -14C today, stuff was melting. Sun is warmer for sure, it's just the cold air.

Figured out that I used an old string of INDOOR lights for the CIDP.
Probably why all the bulbs died except 4.
Jeez, I'm an idiot.
That wasn't snow, Jay.
The inside of plastic cover looks like snow.
Dog poop replaced the snow.
Some birds have returned.
Crazy early.

You're always so positive, Aaron, thanks.still kind of looks green in the pic? Maybe it will come back as it warms up?
But I think it's toast.
Thanks folks!
We have a brief cooldown coming after the weekend.
Once it warms up again, I'll take the entire cover off and unwrap the fronds for a close up look.

So I assume when the palms get larger they become more established thereby eliminating the need to cover them in the winter; or will you still have to provide some sort of protection for them even when they are large?

Mike, yeah, that was the plan.when the palms get larger they become more established thereby eliminating the need to cover them in the winter; or will you still have to provide some sort of protection for them even when they are large?
But reality about my zone finally kicked in.
You're correct. In 7 or 7A they can survive once larger.
Not in my zone, despite winters becoming milder.
Next winter will be quite the challenge, as the Trachy will no longer fit into the palm hut.
Fronds are touching the plastic roof now.

Mike, thanks!
My place may eventually become yucca-only.
The rostratas are bulletproof if kept totally dry from September to end March.
No fungus, no mold, no rot, no problem.

Hi Barb! your rostratas are looking great! I hope my little ones make it through this rough winter and put on some decent size this summer. sorry about your CIDP
Do you remember the distance between your "triplets" when you planted them? thanks for sharing

Thanks Edmar,
H thinks the CIDP is alive.
Hope he's not in charge when I'm in a nursing home.
The 3 rostratas are approx 4 feet apart, and 2 feet from the house.
5 feet and 4 feet would've been a bit smarter as the "pineapple" bases have grown to 1 foot across.

Hi Barb,
Great to hear that your CIPD might be alive!!!
I drove 2 hours east of Vancouver to the cottage on the weekend to check on the place and to peak at the palms.
Looks like after 3 months in it's Styrofoam box the CIPD is fine. Not a mark on it despite being 5' tall and jammed in a 4' tall box. I rather expected bent or broken fronds and some mold with the well sealed box combined with the warm temps we had this winter.

I put the box back on for another month which should be no problem.
