It was probably a very brief event too,couple hours at most.
Whats up with freeze pruf? Did it not arrive in time, or did you not think you needed it/didn't get around to it?

Bill that`s awesome. Nice to see your washy`s did not get freeze burnt. You might want to try a an appliance dolly to move any more bigger palms in the future. Your back must have been killing you pulling them with a rope.

So I'm guessing the Windmill's were not even phased by the cold? 😆

Jim, the forecast was off by 11 degrees so I didn't think I needed the freeze pruf yet! I put it on today for safe measure our temps were 77 today beautiful!

My back was fine John, I'm no stranger to hard work I guess! My large rubber tire dolly was at another site at the time, of course right. It worked fine pulling them they were only 400 pounds! 🙄

Your right the Trachys just laugh at those temps, I'll cover them in early Dec. most likely.

77! Very nice! I was reading what you posted on that other board and one guy replied that your washies might be exposed to fungi? I'm wondering if you should treat them with some bordo to be on the safe side? Mine had some dark green spots almost black in mid september when we had all that rain.. I used the bordo and the spots turned a lot lighter and look pretty much fine now. Maybe give that a try if you get worried.

Yeah Scott, the weather has been awesome for the last three days here. We have a ton of rain coming for Friday night through Saturday, I'm planning on covering the washys with a tarp to keep them dry. They've been through enough this week, time for some pampering. Maybe I should treat them with something. The freeze pruf has a little bit of stick to it still, maybe I'll wait til Sunday after it's done raining. I just don't want to over do it with the sprays ya know.

Good call though Scott, I'll go get some later today.

Thanks,
Bill

Sounds like a good idea Bill! We had some nice temps this week too. Got up to about 70ish, no 77 though! Lots of rain today and tomorrow but nice sunday. I like that idea of covering them with a tarp to keep the rain off. We may not get as many warm, warm days to help dry them out! But we can only hope! I know that this week they are calling for temps in the low to mid 60's so can't complain. If you do decide to use the bord it leaves a bit of a blue residue on the leaves, no big deal though.

Have a good weekend...
