what about those palm wraps?
anybody care to discuss their experience with wrapping larger palm trees during winter. I think last year a number of people experimented with wrapping your trees like a burrito. How did everything turn out and what will you do differently this year? I have a trachy fortunei that's 10 foot tall (with fronds straight up) and I need to think about alternative protection methods this year. THANKS in advance.

Hi, i posted a few post regarding wrapping in the last 2 years. It works well but this year i will put the arbotex between the heat tape and palm cause it burned few leaves last winter. In a normal winter,i don t have this problem. But last winter was horrible ...You can see more info on my Youtube channel Under expressiontropicale. And check my last post, it was last spring. Im to busy during the summer to post update. I will start to protect palms at my home and at my Customer in 3-4 weeks. I will post pics and videos.
