Picture from March 8th,by far the earliest it has been free.

This palm has grown at least 11-12 leaves half way through the season(happy)

Over 6' and the leaves are really blasting upward in contrast to the more compact growth earlier.

Looks great! I'd happily take some of that heat away from you if it's too much!

How old are your Washingtonias?

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

By this time next year, you'll need to relocate those stairs 😆 😆
