Salut Ben!, I think the Queens are hardier than most may think. If it's a mild Winter like they are saying, you may be able to succeed. I'm looking forward to your progress, you have great techniques.

Thx Andym, yes, there s a few people who grow palms here, but me and coconutmike are the only one who sale and offer the winterizing service in Quebec. Many people protect themselve their palms after i sold them the winter protection kit. For me, i count at least 40-50 palms around Montreal i planted since 5 years. And the majority looks fine despite the cold winter we had last year ...This year its another history, well above average temp. will be the warmest december never measured
