Hey everyone,

It's been along time since I posted on the Palms North Board. I miss chatting with all the people here who are not connected to the North East Board or the Hardy Palms and Subtropical Board. Here is an update video on my yard in Kingston Ontario, zone 5b/6a.

Enjoy!

Thanks!!

Scott

Scotty, great to see you back!!!! :bounce:

Holy crow, has stuff ever grown in your garden!
You'll be protecting those trachies off your roofline soon.

Everything looks good.

I think I saw some of your bamboo come up IN MY YARD.... 😆 😆

Don't be a stranger!

Have you considered sinking metal "walls" into the ground to prevent bamboo creep?

Holy smokes that palm has grown! How many feet tall is it now? I think the bamboo has gone to wild to try and contain it. Should have done that at the start.

Can't find the tape measure 👿 + too hot to be out now 😆
Just hope it fits into the palm hut this Fall.

Running bamboo will make your neighbour mad... 😕
But it sure looks nice in your yard...such a nice backdrop to the other plants.

Great video, Scotty! I have not been posting much on ANY board this summer; NS has actually been having a warm summer this year, and I am trying to take full advantage of it! 😆

8.5 feet, thanks for asking.

Yeah, a cooldown will be appreciated by everyone.
Enjoy it.
