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.

The Sequoia was 7' at the start of spring 2013 and finished @ 11' even in a drought year,again!
I did paint the house,I did not pick the colors although I did choose how it's accented.

I almost moved over there this summer Mike...
top floor though,not interested in carrying plants up there
and no point in moving unless I have too at this time.
-10F here and -17F at the airport the other night.

Jim, you have a pretty harsh winter this year. Wish your plants to be survive anyway! It should be a great case for all of us freezing every winter in our places.... Take care!

I have been caught out a few times early in the season...mostly because the smaller palms cannot take the cold like the larger ones can.
This year I was much quicker to react and cover stuff although one night was 10F at the airport and 18F here,this did
singe all the Martianus leaves but last time I checked the spear was still opening.
