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.

Wow, still having 1 Trachycarpus without protection
...never seen that before. We still are over 10-20 F above average temp. here near Montreal. The forecaster said the temp. will reach 16c or 60 F on Thursday Christmas eve
. The normal temp in the day is -3c or near 24F.

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
Ben
around Montreal !
