I don't remember which was a topic we were discussing the Donov's palms surviving this winter. Anyway here is a picture ( ) showing a Trachy after 500 hours of subzero T ( ).

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.

I don't know how you did that, Aaron, but I have more links to the guy's pics.

By the way, there was minus 23.6 C at that north-western part of Bulgaria on the February 9th.

CIDP with no active or passive protection at all - just snow cover:

CIDP with active protection. A damage occurred due to some blackouts:

Butia - plastic and snow cover:

Washy with some heat inside of protection:

That Trachy is spectacular, Igor.

A CIDP!!! Wow.
Would have thought those results were impossible, even with snow as insulation.

Amazing!

Thanks for the photos! 😯

Considering those temps, all of the palms seem to be in pretty good condition!

Igor it is incredible these palms survived. More and more people will start growing palms with a little protection because of what they see is possible. Thank you for sharing these photos! 8)

Tim, yes, they seems to be OK, but those palms are not mine! They grow in Bulgaria that is 4 000 km west of my town.... The guy posted pictures of his palms on one Ukrainian forum. I'm just sharing with you 'cos you are not able reading the Russian. 😳

Both gorgeous specimens, Damir and Jim.

How old is yours Jim?
