Hope so, Tim, thanks.

Hey Tavi, thanks for digging up that link again (I've gotta bookmark it...love it!).

I'm no expert on Washies (got mine from John...okanagan desert palms).
But I do know that it needs MORE help than Trachy.

I just don't know how much more.

Barb

Much more root sensitive than Trachys and I would advise a
thermocube to keep it 35F/45F inside protect- and heavy mulching.

I don't think Washys would fair well with constant freezing temps in an enclosed cover for long.

I think Mike in Montreal had some washies as well. They looked burned in the spring, but on the other hand they are growing faster during the summer, so...

Tavi

Barb the W.filibusta should make it. What were the low temps it saw last winter? Tavi I believe those large Washy`s are from Pensylvania. A little warmer than Chicago in the winter. http://home.ptd.net/~mishele/webpage/index.htm

Lowest temps were +1.9C Nov19 and +2.0C Feb.27.

Might've been even lower during some days when that remote puked out and showed "--".

Do you ever try moving the receiver closer to the transmitter?

It works well if you tape them together,then you will have 2 readouts..............

but you will have to move into the Trachy hut :pale:

Hi Jim, have moved it around lots.
The other remote works like a charm in the Trachy hut.

I think it's just a case of NEVER buying the first item on a hardware store's shelf...always select the third or fourth.
The first one was likely dropped a few times.

Barb

Yea, how big of a pain is that once everything is really sealed up.......

I get angry whe I see the cactus readout is off and it's as easy to get too.............

easy to get to

Or not...sheesh, I would've had to dig through all that foam, and insulation, and plastic, and wire cage.

It occurred to me once or twice to take my blow dryer out there :bigsmurf:
