Thank you all. I am sorry about the pics. I am going to uncover my pindo in two weeks or so I will post pics ill see if I can get them to go the right way.

came out really really well. did you buy it that big or have you grown it for awhile? does look a bit like a waggie to me as well..although it seems when waggies get that big they look like trash with small crowns and large trunks but that one looks fantastic.

Very nice looking palm. You did a really good job protecting it. I couldnt imagine the temps dropping low enough to hurt it now.

I got it about that size it is right now from chilly palm. I put in the ground 4-5-12. There was nothing for about 3 months probably the transfer shock. But the end of July to October there was some nice growth. I hated to wrap it up at the end of November. But uncovered yesterday and wow it looks great.

I don't see any Waggie genes...but?

So it's been in the ground about a year, Tony.
Great job of winter protection.
Don't change a thing for 2013/2014. 😀

Just ribbing you about the sideways photos, Tony.
Better sideways than no photo at all.

Look forward to seeing the Pindo...when the time is right.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. But what can I do about yellow tips on my windmill. Can I cut the tip off because I know Once there yellow they stay yellow. It's on almost all of my leafs. Thanks

Yeah, folks cut yellow tips off, but all it does is improve appearance.
Yellow tips can indicate too much--as well as too little--water.
So it's pretty common, but not a big deal in my opinion.

fertilize it if you can it worked for me. I used 15-5-15 make sure it has magnesium.

Is it to early for me to fertilize here in pennsylvania.

Yea I probloy should of wanted as well.

With the warm weather coming does anyone think its ok to uncover my pindo. I'm here in zone 5

Tony, I think you need to look at your 2 week f/cast for night time lows to guide your decision.

Or maybe anyone closer to you can advise.

The lowest I see for the 15 forecast is mid 30's night time lowes

Pindos are supposedly among the hardiest of feather-leafed palms.
Just guessing, but mid-30's is too cool unless it's been in the ground for many years.

But it depends on your protection...if it's getting moldy from lack of ventilation, uncovering now would help it.

Sorry, can't be more help.

It's been over 90-100f inside the hut even with me venting it during the day but with the sun beating on the hut. I'm going to take a chance and uncover it on Saturday.
