One looks good, with very little fungus:

Two pictures of the second one, with a lot of mold again, probably because the eavestrough is leaking near it.
The second photo shows a pinkish type of "foamy" looking mold...never saw that type before.

Looking good Barb! Like seeing the Brahea looking so good as well. How about the CIDP?

Jealous beyond belief! Freezing here in CT. Another foot of snow coming!!! And -7 F end of the week!
Everything looks great! Maybe uncovering and letting the plants breathe will nock out the mold and fungus!!

I absolutely love Brahea armatas (this is one of the twins...the other one is in the cold building, potted).
It seems bulletproof, not a hint of fungus, yet it had the same covers as the Washies.
CIDP still has a whack of snow holding down the cover.
Thanks folks!
When the East warms up, our temps will tank again.

Very nice Barb. Glad you got a chance to open up a few palms and let them breathe. This will allow you to treat the washies for the fungus too before the next cold front.

meanwhile in the east is so cold that my cat refuses to go out:

Come on Barb, let's switch weather for now... Just lots of snow here, not super cold, but no hint of even a distant spring, yet.

Snowmageddon memory is still fresh here.
We had 2 feet of snow in 2 days.
Hoping the East's arctic blast ends quickly.
Poor Massachusetts, huh?
Kitimat (in our province's north coast) had 109 cm (43 inches) of snow in one day, with 700+ people evacuated because the power was out.

Hang in there, everybody.

Poor Connecticut Too! -7F when I left for work last week looks like same end of this week. Getting another foot of snow today.
My Banana froze solid in my unheated garage. Usually doesn't freeze.

I truly feel sorry for all those guys north of me but I really hope they keep all the snow up there. I have enjoyed this 70 deg. F weekend 8)

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.

Barb nice to see everything doing good. Are you going to spray that Washy with some hydrogen peroxide? I`m going to try planting one more larger W.filifera this spring. You have done well with them since planted. Your Y. rostrata`s have grown a lot since I remember them last as well as the Brahea armata. Is it spring already 😀 Got to love El Nino since Jan.
