A parachute... 😆 😆
Are you digging up the potted Pachy for indoor haul?
The T ferns will explode next year...maybe trunking?

Your smaller palms have grown a lot wider...is the protection going to fit?

Found a faulty extension cord yesterday morning -2C 28F, C-9s were flickering.
At least I hope it was the cord, but replaced it so will have to watch.
Glad I saw that...better than in January when the Washy would be fried.

Once this Omega block in the west fizzles, you guys will warm up again.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

The Pachy is up stairs,wasn't to bad,the Cereus is over 6' in the ground
and has many arms that can bang into each other and cause damage....so,
it presents a different set of problems 😯 its going on the other side from the
Madagascar palm....hopefully 😀

Yea...I hope it does warm up,we will be running 10 to possibly 20F below normal
for a while but we have been quite warm before this,avg high now is 63F so even
normal will seem nice after this...if it returns.

Oh...also,your right about the T.ferns,they could be the size of the other ones
if they hang on,I was just looking at them today and thinking I want to protect more
leafage instead of cutting them down to fit rose cones..may have to scramble this week though.

Hope you increase protection size.
Is there any research on T ferns about cutting to produce branches (like other plants), and when does a trunk normally form?
For space constraints, you'd probably want branching to start a lot higher up.

Glad you've got your bike in the photo for scale.
That Pachypodium is massive! 😀

Your cooldown will be forgotten in a week. 😉

You cant cut them,the only one I know of the can return from the roots is D.Squarossa.
