Will look forward to seeing your new Trachy, corrosion. Is the other one really dead? Might be too early to decide? Barb Maybe but I guess it won´t survive the next winter in such condition. I cut almost the whole trunk and the trunk is maybe 10 cm high now. I treated it with fungicide and despite ...

Nice to see such rarities in Finland too :) I think we had at least the same amount snow this winter than Finland, but I think Finland holds the record due the northern location.

Here it is: http://www.butia.co.uk/Palmbooster.html
I know it may sound a bit commercial reading all of this but I´ve read from different forums about it and it seems to be worth its price.
I´ve seen it also on ebay but I guess the shipping to US would cost another fortune
