2 story outhouses can be problematic πŸ™„ 😯 πŸ‘Ώ 😳

I saw a photo of one not too long ago.
Voters got the first floor and politicians got the second. πŸ˜†

Cheers, Barrie.

Nowadays there are ladders which are foldable πŸ™‚ BTW the trachy looks great for an oldie πŸ˜† IΒ΄m starting with new trachy in late april when it is warm enough. It looks 10 times better than the one in bad- or dead condition originally looked and it has a rootball which is good for a while.

Will look forward to seeing your new Trachy, corrosion.

Is the other one really dead?
Might be too early to decide?

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Maybe but I guess it wonΒ΄t survive the next winter in such condition. I cut almost the whole trunk and the trunk is maybe 10 cm high now. I treated it with fungicide and despite warmth day temps (with bwhouse) hasnΒ΄t made any growth yet.

Corrosion,
I was really hoping your palm was going to pull through, don't give up though until it truly gets some warm temps for awhile.

Erik,
I promised myself at the end of this year I was done building ugly structures even though they are cheap and super affective!
This years huts will be Cadillac s of the palm hut world πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰

Well, probably not 90oF here (but likely in western OK), but certainly the 80soF, with nighttime lows well into the 50soF should warm up soil nicely.
The last plants indoors are Brugmansia, Ficus benjamina, Mandevilla, Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and W's olives. And oh yes she brought a Yucca back inside for no reason I can determine.

Barb your Trachy looks great. Watch it take off now that its`s getting past the sleep stage of sleep, creep, leap. That specialty palm fertilizer you have should wake it up to get growing! 8) How are those W. filifera doing?

Hey John,

As you know, temps have dropped again πŸ˜₯ so will hold off on the palm special fertilizer for another two weeks.
Epsom salts first!

sleep, creep, leap

that's a good one! Hope you're right!

Two of the three washies are planted out (yup...the poor buggers are BACK in the soil, only to be dug up again in Fall...sorry!).
I cover them overnight with extra garbage cans.
The third is still in its pot, sunny spot on the patio.

How are yours doing since I saw them last? They probably grew another two feet in height! (where is that JEALOUSY icon?) ha ha
