arbotex?? Never heard of it, but did wonder about any kind of cloth wrapped around the plant and if it got wet if it would encourage fungus, or cause freeze damage to the plant if the cloth got too cold.
Will have to stop and see if I can find the Arbotex or frost cloth...
Still record temps here, good weather for at least another week...or more. Wish this was all winter ever was.
Mike? Guess I missed it. What is your method for your pindo's?

Wholesale fabric stores have lots of fabrics for plant protection, purchased cheaper by the entire bolt, rather than a few meters/yards packaged for "frost cloth" purpose. They also stock bolts of "batting", the lightweight stuff sewn into bedding/comforters.
What also works great on larger palms is old blankets from moving companies...they'll sell torn/ripped ones dirt cheap.
They're just heavier so it works great on larger plants.

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