Wes looks like that Trachy weathered the resent wind storms very well.The fronds don`t look tatered at all, must have something to do with that tall fence you have protecting it.

All of my trachies faired well. The two large ones in the front have a bit more frond damage but not to bad. They stand up to the wind better than I thought. I can hardly wait from my waggies to grow and to see how they do in the wind.
The chamaerops humilis palms have no wind damage at all.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Wes, I saw a couple of Trachys that flanked a driveway. They where about double your size and had a flashing white light string of lights on them around the trunks. It really caught my attention and likely a few others as well.

Cheers, Barrie.
