Mike, thanks!
My place may eventually become yucca-only.
The rostratas are bulletproof if kept totally dry from September to end March.
No fungus, no mold, no rot, no problem.

when the palms get larger they become more established thereby eliminating the need to cover them in the winter; or will you still have to provide some sort of protection for them even when they are large? Mike, yeah, that was the plan. But reality about my zone finally kicked in. You're correct. I...

still kind of looks green in the pic? Maybe it will come back as it warms up? You're always so positive, Aaron, thanks. But I think it's toast. Thanks folks! We have a brief cooldown coming after the weekend. Once it warms up again, I'll take the entire cover off and unwrap the fronds for a close u...

I`m going to check all mine again for mold. Probably not necessary with your large amount of airspace around palms under the plastic. Or maybe if you have a leaking eavestrough nearby... like mine. :wink: Had a few drops left of 10% hydrogen peroxide, hope that was enough until I pick up more 3%. T...

Thanks Aaron! Are you going to spray that Washy with some hydrogen peroxide? Yup, once I find where I stashed it. Have you ever had that pink mold/fungus? It looks frothy, kinda like pink insulation! :shock: Yes I'm sooooooo glad mild weather has arrived. Nice to get feet on terra firma. The older I...

Snowmageddon memory is still fresh here. We had 2 feet of snow in 2 days. Hoping the East's arctic blast ends quickly. Poor Massachusetts, huh? Kitimat (in our province's north coast) had 109 cm (43 inches) of snow in one day, with 700+ people evacuated because the power was out. http://www.cbc.ca/n...

I absolutely love Brahea armatas (this is one of the twins...the other one is in the cold building, potted). It seems bulletproof, not a hint of fungus, yet it had the same covers as the Washies. CIDP still has a whack of snow holding down the cover. Thanks folks! When the East warms up, our temps w...

Thanks Scott.
Think I've totally screwed up posting topics (again) .
Can't remember if you've seen these pics I just posted today on John's topic: http://www.palmsnorth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5728
I had better not get my hopes up too high.
There's a 50/50 chance the CIDP is toast.

Hey John, what happened with your CIDP? Your plastic covers are clear (versus my blue ones) so it would've been happy with the daylight. CIDP don't need a whole heck of a lot more heat than T.fortunei, so I'm puzzled. But maybe I'll take my protection off in March and mine will be toast. :( Glad you...

Gosh Erik, that's a nice temperature! Yeah, hope to hear from those guys soon. Oregon? Heck, do they EVER get freezing temps? :lol: After 2 weeks of looking at our snowpiles--and very little sun to melt it--our mild-ish temperatures aren't that great. It'll be good to walk on terra firma again. Barb

How's the palm now Barb? Once planted, did it grow quicker than in a pot? Planted it last summer as it was going into serious decline from having been in pots for eons. :lol: It put out 3 or 4 new--but small--spears by the end of summer. Didn't do bugger all until then. Probably recovering from its...
