Great news. Washingtonias are still alive. I lost two of the Pindos but the one in the pic above still looks good. I also lost one European Palm and had some damage to another. Pics to come. I'm excited because I just planted 3 additional Sabal Palmettos last weekend that are about 12 feet tall each. All the needle palms look great as well.......

Thanks for the update. Great about the Washy.
I just planted 3 needle palms; glad to hear how well they did for you.
There are Sabal palmetto in 30 gallon pots for sale nearby. About 8' tall w/ minimal trunk.
How hardy are they? --Erik

Rub the rock,
Sorry for your loses man, time to move on to bigger and better things like you did. I can't wait to see those palmettos you planted. Are they HC?
As for the washies I'm glad they are coming back too. Mine took a pretty good beating in late Jan when my power went off for 10 days while I was away. After having zero fronds left and just some green petioles it's coming back like a bat outta hell. It pumped out 5 full leaves so far with one giant spear and two others coming. They are awesome palms, yours will look killer again in no time.

Erik,
You will be surprised on how tough sabal palmettos really are. There only really week point is heavy snow on them, other then arctic air. They handle moisture pretty well too. There would most likely be only 10 days or so on a regular winter that would really be worrisome in your location if you had a good micro climate to put one. I guess it all depends on how you protect it for your scary nights.

What like Halloween are when your unk's forget to check
if the lights in your palm protection are on?

Oh! -snap 😯

That's not nice Jim 🙁 Just wait til you see what they look like
when I get back from Florida in two weeks. The only thing scary
will be seeing how many fronds they grew in that short time :bootyshake:

Bill

Looking forward to it buddy 😆

I know you are, I was just messing with ya. The uncle
thing is old news. Plus I already turned them into fertilizer 😈

Bill

I already turned them into fertilizer

the uncs or the palms? 😯 😆 😆

Can't wait to see what you're bringing back this time.
You folks are so lucky to be able to zip down to Florida for a few houseplants.
I'm so jealous as I look over my pots of dead and drying, brown and crunchies.
Sounds like oatmeal

😆

All I'll say is it will be a very interesting post when I get back with this load.

That's really lousy news about your plants Barb. Do I dare ask about how
nani-tal is doing. I hope it rebounds good for you this year, this might call
for the miricle grow 20 20 20 treatment every week for a month or so.

Bill

Thanks Bill.

Ah...the Naini Tal (poor bugger)
If the 20-20-20 works, it'll be "dead coming back to life".
But, what the heck, if it's dead, a good blast of 20-20-20 wouldn't hurt 😈 😈

I'm gonna do it!

We all wish we could go plant shopping with you to Florida . 😀
