Starting to open the palms and bananas slowly. Winter seems to be dragging on this year but I am guessing all my palms will be open within the next 10 days. Here is a quick teaser video with some info on how I protected them.
Enjoy the show and more videos to come with the big palms

Nice mike. Just wondering if you are leaving the bananas uncovered. I'm sure we are not done with frost yet this year.

Hey guys. To answer your questions I have several loads of palms arriving this year . First load is the giant needle palms up to 10 feet tall. The Next load will also arrive end of April or early May and will be a big load full 53 foot tractor trailer. One weejk after that I will get my yuccas-agaves and tropical palm trees. Most of these items are already sold so place your order before mid-April if you can or see my March specials video on youtube to save money before March ends. To order send me an e-mail with your tel# and I will call you to take your order and help you choose the best plants for your area. As you saw in my video, the needle palms don't need to much help to get through the winter. About the bananas, the group in the corner has been there for almost 10 years so they are about 5 degrees more cold hardy but yeah I will still cover them up at night for the next 2 weeks just with the arbotex and tarp.
Happy Palming

Thanks for the welcome! im in zone 4

but my house has a hill and its south facing creating a micro climate so if i have heavy protection it could work, my best options are needle palms, trachycarpus fortunei and sabal minor. Any advise would be appreciated, thanks.

Your palms are looking good. Very nice job on the protection. And your bananas grew way more than mine did.

Thanks guys for the comments. My Bananas are looking good but usually look even better . Lucky(Barb) I wish I could say the palm capital of Canada, but the reality is I still have to protect mine unlike some locations in B.C . Probably the most amount of palms for sale and the most varieties for sale and at affordable prices for Canadians -that was my goal.

Good for you, Mike.
That's a nice distinction.
