Best to keep Washys above freezing during winter as the condensation in a plastic cover will
produce a constant supply of moisture that will find it's way into the crown and with
the combo of heat build up(accelerates fungal growth)on sunny days and freezing temps.....
it won't last long.
This is probably the issue with the heat tape-to much moisture inside.

Actually the winters here are quite mild. Cuz i knw idaho is COLDDD. Even spokane is pretty cold compared to here.
Yes you are, I belive you are like a zone 7/7b, Boise is a 6b/7, Spokane WA 6b/7, Lewiston Idaho same as you 7/7b.

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.

That 15-foot Washy is probably a filifera? robusta?
I can never tell them apart. (Aaron's nodding 😆 😆 😆 )Barb
Slender trunk, green leaves, leaves are close at the crown=robusta :read2:

Yea i had heat tape on. And it hasnt been that cold. Its been usually 40f at night maybe 37f max. And i hat openings in the tarp to allow ventalation. But youre right it was condensation because even the my palms wer warm from the heat tale they were really moist. I guess ill have to find a new way. I think my other robusta is still alive. Ill have new pix tomorrow

Try and copy and past this in your signature part of your profile? Worth a try? The below weather sticker
