south side of house. However, because of sun angle and the dam neighbors house the sun does not reach this palm. lowest temp is probably around 0F (-17C) over the past 5-6 years. I will add that I did an experiment 2-3 years ago where I put a remote thermometer in the bottom of a leaf pile that was ...

I, too was surprised when the Livistonia chinensis grew back this year. who woulda thunk it? put Trachy #1 to sleep for the winter last weekend. This is the first trachy I planted in ground in 2006. It was a 1 year old seedling at the time I planted it. It has never received supplemental heat during...

Outside protection Zone 6 - 2011
I am getting ready to protect my outdoor inground palms before wintertime 2011. Thought first I would show you some little trachycarpus fortuneis I planted on the north side of my house in 2009 (probably during summer months but not absolutely certain when they went in ground). I had a bunch of seed...

mine stays outside as soon as it's warm enough in spring time and comes inside when it gets cold in the fall. This year it was outside in late March and came inside last weekend, about 7 months outside. It spends the winter in an east facing room that has a large picture window and is very bright. I...

I have split up washingtonias before with no problem. Mine were about half that size. I'd wait until your weather warms up and do it in early summer if possible. Gently tease the roots apart as best you can, plant in good well drained potting mixture and place in a shaded spot for several weeks unti...

my guess is that the palm kept warmer will have a much bigger and healthier root system and in the long term (beyond two years) will be a much bigger palm. I base this on my experience with sabal minors that I kept inside in a well lit basement bedroom versus 2 that were kept in an unheated garage w...
