Had a great weekend in S. Ontario. The palm hut came off (finally)! Also planted/expanded one of the gardens.
Bamboo donated from Paul!
Recently planted Trachy, Holly and Yucca.
Crepe Myrtles really starting to leaf!
Newly planted Pindo's and Med fan palm.
The three palms in the middle are the ones that overwintered in the palm hut. Looking pretty good. Empty space on the left to be filled with a 35gal Trachy in May!
Looks great!
So good I'll be embarrassed to finally post my Spring photos
Crape myrtles: fantastic. All three of mine are coming back from above-ground wood but are behind yours.
Pindo palms: look great. Mine are alive but not growing yet.
Trachy: should be perfect for you; mine is coming back strong.
Bamboo: Paul knows his stuff. Mine may be dead. I'll seek his advice before choosing another.
Keep us updated with photos (or another neat YouTube video) as the Summer goes on.

Looks good Scotty! Hope that bamboo send up some new shoots soon.
You're taking this exotic gardening thing to a whole new level for the Kingston area! Can't wait for those palms to hit 10 feet, that'll really turn some heads!
Scott,
Very nicely done! Your yard is looking great along with all your palms, looks like your palm hut did a excellent job. That washy is going to go nuts once our regular lows are in the 50-60f range. Great new additions to your garden those palms will be fun to watch grow. I can't wait to see your 35 gallon trachy when you get it. Nice bamboo from Paul too, that was nice of him. He really has figured them out in his location.
Thanks for all the complements! The good work should go to all of you for inspiring these ideas! As for the Wilt Pruf. I do spray all my BLE's a few times before the winter arrives. It really helped with my Rhodos!
Penny,
I bet the use of wilt-proof or other similar products would really benefit you much more then it would most of us since we tend to protect the majority of our palms from the harsh weather. Being in SC Keeping the plant protected with one of those products when the North jet stream dips down would really do wonders since your duration of cold is most of the time short lived, followed by much warmer temps. I bet my unprotected Lil Gems would have had zero damage as opposed to the very little they received, 10%. Not bad for first year tree's from Florida.
I will use it next year. I had some wilt-proof to I just never used it
Just bought some Wilt-Pruf the other day to use on transplants (hot weather protection). Most of my winter damage during "bad" winters is to spears of potted palms. Will try it this winter just on growing points and see if it helps.
Hey Scotty, great pics.
Good to see the palm hut come off.
I'm still looking for a spot (other than the front porch) to store my hut sections.
Everything looks good, I like the path through the garden bed.
That wooden fence backdrop will soon be hidden by green green green.
Great size and healthy looking bamboo from Paul.
Those pindos are really nice...they'll be touching by end of this summer.
Your overwintered palms look so good, you'd think they've been in the house all winter.
I have been trying to get rid of bamboo for the past three years now! It is insane here and all over the place! it scares me! Any tips!???? I'm expecting to go out back at any moment and see a family of pandas living out there when i go to take out the trash!
I'll seek his advice before choosing another.
