nice looking trachy. Good luck with your winter protection. Looks to me like you got it goin' on.
Maybe someday I will have a trachy that big.

Nice set up! Are you using any supplemental heat inside the box? (bulbs, heater, etc)

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.

I bought water pipe heater wire. Wrapped it around the trunk from top to bottom. Then wrapped that with some burlap.
Only turn it on when the temps are below 20 degrees.

Very nice pictures, Palmmandan.
How old is your Windmill palm and how many years (or winters 😉 ) does it grow in you yard?
