Hasn't had any water since early October.
Fronds are folding lengthwise, sure sign of water need.
Let the growing begin...

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

Looking good, cant tell its even been through winter. Really hate to think you will have to change your protection methods next yr. I would really try building a second story onto the tracy box.

Looks like the trachy barely noticed being cooped up all winter. I'm sure after a drink and some fresh air it will look even better.
I have almost 2 weeks before my boxes come off the the season. Looking like the 28th at this point next week looks a bit chilly then smooth sailing. My small boxes will come off for a few days starting tomorrow. Probably got back on for Saturday.

Looks all nice and well mollycoddled 😆 Mine has had to take all that the elements threw at it and more.... The -3.5c I attained was well quite devastating 😉 
Can you see which way the wind was blowing? 😛
My Trachy Nova was well protected by my next door neighbours pine 😯 
Fortunately only snapped one leaf 😀

Wow your trachy looks great. I sort of like the messy look. Sort of reminds me of Robert Smith from The Cure and his messy hair.

Looks good Barb, for you its more easier to protect those palms than us here. We have for 2 years in a row a really bad winter. With no big warm up till 1-2 weeks 😥 ...palms with mummywrap will sure have dommages this winter. But those who i add insulation during this winter looks not to bad...
