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.

Looking great Tim!
It looks like your nanas are already ahead of last year at this time. Isn't it fun to watch established trachys grow! They are my favorite palm for sure, there so forgiving too.
Keep us updated.

Here is a picture of my orinoco from 7/23/09 (so about 2 weeks later in the season than we are now).
Here's the trachy in the first pic from end of June last year.

Thanks for the comments.
Palms will get heated huts and the bananas will get stored bare root in the basement.
