U guys dont have a lowes? Wow lol ... We have Home Depot. I prefer Home Depot. However our home improvement stores up here in WA dont stock those palm. Just majesty and Sago Palms. I have to go to a garden center to get mine. They are ordered from Monrovia in Azusa,CA

Nope, no Lowes; maybe some back East where population is larger.
We've got HD but same as yours, they only have Majesty palms and now and then a few Sagos.
Rare when they have something noteworthy.
Found my big Foxtail there...couldn't believe my luck that day. :bounce:

The Washies look wonderful in snow, Mario.
When a lot of wet/cold is expected, try to keep the spear area dry, even though the rest is unprotected.
You'd prevent spear pull from fungus by keeping it dry.

Excellent spot as long as it's the same temp as California 😀
And a fan for airflow is a benefit.
Have a good trip!
Look forward to seeing your photos.
