WOW everything looks so awesome - especially the Butia! My bananas are black stumps at the ground, I wonder if I'll ever see pups!
Thanks for showing your updates Jim, it's always so inspiring!

Congrats on your overwintering Jim.
-2F for that Trachy is really something!
It'll be good to see that Trithrinax responding to 18" long roots!
Your basjoos are 6 inches ahead of mine...ah for some warm soil and nice temps.
Those pinkish colored areas on the cactus beside the flower...is that more buds?
or is it just bald?
