This fall was really perfect for hardening the palms off,no rain(1" in 2 months)
and plenty of cold temps before winter set in-it did set in awful damn quick though! 👿

Coltrane,
I'm not sure if this was mentioned about the larger palms, when I scanned through I didn't see it.
Larger palms store lots of carbs up in there trunks after years of happy growing, that's another reason bigger more established palms can take more abuse. They have reserves to keep them going, if times get tough.

...and that reminds me about the small t.f. I forgot to cover. I guess it is now an experiment.
Thanks

I have two trachys planted that are just getting their character leaves without heat. They have a five gallon bucket stuffed with dry leaves. I want to see if they make it.

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

I cut the bottom of the bucket out and then slip it over the palm, stuff it with leaves and put the lid on. 😯
