Beautiful.
Feel like I've been on a short vacation looking at those nice pics.
Love the palms!

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
Totally Awesome Job! Love what you've done with the place this year, you got the exotic bug for sure 😀 Be careful that bug spreads quickly.
I was just teasing you with the washy comment to try and get you to post faster 😆 😆 😆
Mine might be bigger 😉 Trust me I went through a ton of work to get them there though! You'll pass me for sure this year, unless I get nutty 😀
Killer work!

Thanks Bill. I've studied your winterproofing picks and will take heed next year after almost losing my Washys... They held up as well as could be expected for temps in the low single digits and little protection. The rootballs on mine weighed several hundred pounds but seemed to shrink once I got them in the ground. I had a backhoe for both the Washys and the sabal palmettos but we put the three new 6' windmills in ourselves. (see first pic above). My cousin owns a landscaping supply company with two branches on the Carolina Coast. We traded out work for him giving me three of the sabal palmettos and I got the three 6' windmills in SC for $145 each. There are several places selling them for three times that amount. I got the small washy Alexandro is planting in the picture for $30 at Home Depot. I couldn't believe they had them here locally. I also bought several others including the windmills and needle palm for $30 each while there. They had them marked half price for some reason. No queen plams this year after losing two beautiful 12 footers last year. Too much money for basically an annual palm....
Good luck to everyone. We're going on a cruise next week then taking the kids to Disney, Universal, etc for a few days.... No telling what I'm going to bring back tied to the top of the Sequoia. My wife gave me a firm no when I asked if I could pull behind the covered trailer. LOL.
Is that your Abyssinian in the last pic?
Have you checked for spider mites?
How long has it been planted?
