Hi Barb your palm looks Great!! I love the slight lean it has, must be windy there.
Wxman- Does Not get any better than that absolutely beautiful
Beny- Palm looks alright -it will be like new by the end of May for us here in Montreal. We had a brutal winter here in Montreal this year. We will improve this technique combining our methods.
here are a few plants I uncovered -Agaves-yucca- also a video on youtube with a trachy uncovered but it talks about ordering from Montreal Palms so I did not post that one -you can see that on youtube

Tim,
Im still using the Xmas light C9 for 2 of my windmill under stryrofoam box and its working very well, will post a video soon. Thats an option for the mummywrap, but these kind of lights will disapear in the next few years. I dont think the heatcable for pipe heat to much, thats depend the longer of the cable. Ex.: if you using a 40 foots cable for a 8 feets windmill, its to much, it produce 200watts. But using a 24 feets, producing 168 watts is better.
Mike,
Will call you soon to meet you and discuss about the mummywrap technic, if we can find the way to do this well. That will be nice for everyone crazy like us 😉 ..

The large one was planted as a 3 gallon in July 2008.

I chickened out, I looked for the forecast for next week with low of -5C (23F) and decided to hold on with opening the boxes for another week. The minimum temperature in the boxes never went so low all winter long, so why risk now? Also the rain would not help, last year one Waggie had a spear pull because I water it too much after the winter. The box keeps it relatively dry, even though there is snow melting around it.

It will be 25 tonight and tomorrow night. I'm not too worried about it though. By the end of the week it will be 60s for the high and mid 30s at night. I think so spring has finally arrived.
Nobody panics when people plant normal trees because its part of the plan... if someone plants a Palm EVERYONE LOSES THERE MINDS!
