Hey Brooklands, welcome aboard PN!
Nice to see another west coaster Canuck.
Look forward to seeing your tropicals.

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

Thanks Barb,
Just got in from planting a 4 ft CIDP at the Cottage at Harrison Hot Springs. With the wicked arctic outflows we get out here, I may just be trying Jim's surgery technique next spring. Kinda hilarious that it's hot and sunny, and I am already back to thinking about styrofoam...lol.
Cheers,
Phil

Definitely something to have in the back of your mind at all times when planting palms. 8)

Brooklands.....what kind of winters do you experience there to plant a CIDP? and how will you protect it? what is your zone?
Picked up a couple small ones on my road trip to California and thought about planting in the ground as well.......

The zone here (Harrison) is a bit worse than Vancouver, but has horrible arctic blasts for a few days every few years, so the full styrofoam box, C9 or CFL routine will be needed. If that works for more than a few years, I am going to have a big problem.

Jim,
Curious to know more about the surgery. How do you know how far to cut without going too deep into the bud? I have tried the drilling thing before, but was always scared to go deep enough.
Did you just keep cutting till the mush was gone, or is it more of a planned operation.

Phil, many of the folks on PN are from the eastern half of US and Canada so they'll laugh at THAT comment after their winter. 😆 😆 😆
C-9s definitely.
The ones we BCers aren't allowed to buy any more. 🙄
Look forward to seeing your CIDP.
I planted mine last month after it lived in big garbage can for years and years.
Nothing but roots in the can, so it was time.

It has pushed out a little sawed off petiole and a tiny half leaf,should be a little "spear" come up next.
I saw a little at a time until I see(or don't see) live tissue....
