Hello guys! The spring is coming despite some freezes at night. It was a fine weather today and i opened my palm cover. Here is pic of my cordyline australis. It's looking fine after winter. It was -19 C this winter once.
Serj,
I couldn't open the photo.
Last winter (2009-2010), I left my Cordyline in the ground and assumed it would die. We got to -18C. Amazing, it came back from the roots in Spring. But was killed by Summer heat.
You also had a hot Summer in 2010. No problems with it?
I don't plan to try again; Phormium is also killed by my summer heat. I'll stick with Yucca (etc.) for that look. --Erik
The link has been replaced 8) Erik, my summer was not hot. I'm isn't far off from Europe.
Serj,
that is beautiful! Congratulations. --Erik
Great job, Serj!

Are very root hardy but not so much above the ground.
The fronds are killed off at about -7C.

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.

Yes, wow. Please share your winter protection tips, now and (especially) in September.
At first i have to say my plants grow near my fathers house. It means two things: warm ground in winter and good microclimate. My shelter is box that built from the styrofoam 2-inch panels. It has size 1x1x0,5 meters. I took 4 panels and spliced it with glue. After this i excavated trench with box-size, installed the box into the trench. The time when i did it was october (15-20 of october). On top i put 4 styrofoam panels. In such method i have 2-inch cover above box that easy opened when i needed it. Outside box i put some leaves and snow.
Sorry for my bad English. I'm ready to answer your questions.:wink:
