Holy Toledo, Jim, 52 days below freezing 😯
Incredible results!
Palms look like they were beginning to lean a bit for light but they look better than fabulous!
Very impressive.
Look at everything bustin' out of the cactus enclosure! :bounce: :compress:
No signs of damaging humidity build-up.
Congrats buddy!

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

Awesome looking plants. Those palms came through in great shape. Your cactus area is gonna be a stunner this year! About how tall is your tricho?

Thanks Barb/Chad
Some of the palms in back (B.Armata)are damaged from the moisture and cold...
Chad
I measured the Thricho this morning,it is right at 25"...
I bet it grows 1.5'+ this year! Kinda scary because it is a beast!

Holy cow, do you know which ssp ( terscheckii?) the tricho is? I know mine is less than half as thick as yours.
