Do you still have those T. wagnerianus? How are they doing?

[tropicman]

Hey Mike,yes I planted them back in April,and they have grown quite well.
They might have grown 4 to 6 inches overall in height,in fact they have grown more than the T. fortunia,which has been in the ground for over a year.They defineatly like the cooler weather and have put more leaves on since September than all summer long.
I also planted a pindo palm same time as the waggies and it has doubled in size,I was surprised for I heard this was a slow grower.I will cover it like a greenhouse,with a sheet of plastic over a wire gage,and hope it makes it thru the winter.
I read that you had to get a smaller greenhouse,have you got it set up yet?

I dont have any protection up yet its been in the 60's these past few weeks. If it gets cold this week like they say I will put stuff up this weekend and next weekend.

But here it has been few days in the 50's but they sayin 40;s next week maybe!

Hey Tropicman, Hey buddy I need your address so I can send you some Butia seed that Laaz gave to me to disperse.
