Good thing it was in the pot...
pulling palms and storing them in a
cool place can be a death sentence as
the cool damaged roots can rot out.
If all my palms die again this year I'm gonna find a new hobby! 😛
Here's an update on my Filibusta fan palm, decided to take the mini greenhouse off early, since I started protecting it kind of early, in late October. Therefore it hasn't really experienced anything below 35'F. I should add too that even though I took the cover off on 2/16 I still cover the leaves with a little piece of burlap and surround the trunk with a couple gallons of warm water once the sun goes down, I also decided to move it to my back yard (to give it more sun), had roots growing out of the bottom again which surprised me since it went from a five gallon pot, to a 20g trashcan just seven months ago in July. Anyways i trimmed up the roots and fronds a little bit prettying it up a little bit and hopefully not hurting it too badly. I guess we'll see what happens, we're not out of the woods yet! I will update again when things are blazing hot again around June or July. Take care everybody! 😀
Well I'm done posting on palms north (too hard to post pics on here) I tried creating an account with postimage.org but still nothing. So if you want to see my palms and their progress check out palm trees in Grand Junction on city data forum WAY easier IMO to work with. Take care everybody!
