He protected the trachy with heat tape and what looked like plastic-covered fiberglass insulation...I can post a picture later...it looked amazing though!

Thanks. Yup good eye, mike. I've got to move the canna because the white variegated part roasts in our sun. That's a texas Redstar hardy hibiscus keeping time with the canna and sabal. Not to be confused with one of Oklahoma's cash crops LOL!

Sounds like a good haul, glad you got some good palms!
Post pics, we love pics especially sabal minor! They're my fave!

Here's some pictures of his Trachy, I didn't get any pictures of his outdoor Minors:/ However, when my young Minors pop open, I will definitely post pics:))

What type of bamboo is that?

That's a very good question, I meant to ask but completely forgot! Maybe someone who knows bamboo better than myself can shed some light on this?

so many types so many possibilitys..it does have a very large culm size though. might be easier to ask them though
