Has anyone on the board tried to over winter any of these out yet? I think they might be a decent one to try since they say on the small side for quite a long time. This means a small palm hut! If there kept dry they can take a good amount of cold too I think. If there's previous post on this I apologize. I want to try a few next winter.
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
I tried several years ago with a revoluta X taitungensis, came through okay but started to decline in the spring.
Also had some
Zamia floridana that were down near single digit temps. I ended up bringing everything back into the GH. ( Some of the
Zamias survived, but took until the end of August for any new growth)
My problem was too much moisture in the planting area. The cold & damp will eventually start a decline. If you can figure out a method to keep the soil dry during the winter months it should work.
Let me know too
Steve

Thanks Steve, I'm going to try and figure something out for next year. It would be awesome to have a few of them in the garden.
