Thank you everyone for the support. Cheers to all palm lovers!! This palm will not give up. If I can give it a little love the next couple winters, perhaps I can get some seeds if I get the opposite sex windmill palm. This one is Canadian grown in a field near Vancouver. No wonder its tough as bullets!!!

That's crazy! One for the record books! Hope you get a nice long hot summer to let her grow a bit! Did you treat it with anything before you left it over the winter?

Dude, where did you aquire this thing ??? LOL Edmonton is 2 zones colder then I am, where the temps regularly go to -40c during december and january ( not all month, but they have days every year wheere the temps drop that low), And I would love to try and grow one LOL. Is it in a microclimate?
Edmonton is a fairly dry place, especialy in the winter, and its climates is caused largley bu the rockies ( they are quite far in comparison to other cities), and are more influenced by the harsh actic winds in the winter. Whats your secret? Voodoo? Whichcraft? Sacrifices? LOL

Crazy! I've been amazed by the resiliency of this plant before, but this is just insane! An Edmonton winter unprotected? It really doesn't get much colder in the civilized world! Trachys, the newest zone 3 perennial? 😀 Nate....seriously, like NO protection whatsoever?! Gotta tell ya dude, it's almost unbelievable! Very cool stuff indeed-it has to be a record without a doubt.

Both of the tiny ones(like the one pictured above),of mine are both now dead.
To much much water (14+")this month for palms- 'to close to the edge'-they fell off!
Lesson,palms unprotected and on the verge of death are very susceptible to it 😉

Sorry, Jim. 🙁

Interesting on the survival of the Trachy. I've found that under snow they tend to die back but come back... I've had one come back after -32C with snow. It hung on until we had a winter to -22C (this past winter) without snow... 4 years, really it's not a bad record!

Don't cry for me Argentina!
I had already over-planted were they were so no worries-these were
seedlings that were thrown into a palm I ordered.
