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.

Well first of all,it came from Monrovia,in Californy,what I was told,from the nursery lady.
And just a plastic cover that came over my new lazyboy recliner,fit right over the wire screen,had several days below freezing in a row,lowest temp,was zero,and temps were in the teens a few days in a row for the high.
One time it was covered completely by snow for a few days in a row as well.
I'm assuming the 2 bale high wall of straw completely surrounding the trunk,played an important rule in the way it looks today.
I have 2 waggies,Butia,Cham.humillius and a cidp,I'm thinking about planting in the ground.and trying this again and
overwintering them outside.

Hey tropicman - if the wife kicks you out that looks like a pretty nice place to stay. You'll need to wire in some electricity and you've got it made.

where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)
