Your garden looks great.
No damage on anything.
The Jubaea and chammie came through winter perfectly.

Josef- Is that a T. fortunei v. wagnerianus in the 2nd pic there? What was the winter low?

I am very jealous of your mild winters (winter is OVER for you!!!!) and beautiful garden!

Josef always nice to see your updates. They all look great. Do you still have photos of your winter protection that you use on your palms?

Great pics, Josef!! Did you protect your Jubaea? I saw a post on another forum recently which shows that a J. chilensis in Yorkshire survived -18 C this winter with very little damage!

Josef,
look great; -14.5 C is plenty cold for those palms!
I like the big Jubea. I know they can get much bigger with age, but right now they are a perfect size to enjoy. --Erik

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

To have a low of only -14.5C 5.9F is envious.
Makes all the difference.

Very nice Josef.
