Hi Barb and Cameron, thank you very much!
Butia was planted in spring 2008 as a small 1-2-year old seedling.
It doesn't grow rapidly as declared but last year the first pinnate leaves are appeared.
This winter we have much snow again. And frosts also. But daytime is slowly growing and next spring (I sure) will bring many happy moments.

The snow is your plants warm blanket.
You do such a good job of protecting yours, you'll probably never need heating cables. 😀

Very very nice, antti.
That brick wall is perfect as a backdrop to your specimens.
How big they've grown, especially the 4 year old Trachy!!!
And to have a crop of Figs in Finland is phenomenal. 😯
Well done!
Thanks for the new photos!

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.
