Windmill Palms Uncovered 3-6-10

BILL MA · 2010-03-11T17:30:00Z

Hey Everyone,I decided this last weekend that I couldn't wait anymore after looking at the long term weather forecast, and unwrapped my three Trachies. They looked just as good as when I put them in there late December too. They look to me like they grew two full fronds each with three more coming, not to bad. I did have a few damaged fronds but it wasn't from cold it was from burning the stems Opps! 12f was the lowest temps these guys saw when the power went out.I also dug out the basjoo grove because I feared the material around them was wet and going to cause more harm then good. I was right there was some mold starting to grow in the hay that got wet. I'm going to cover them back up tomorrow with leaf bags and a tarp, I think I'll turn the heat on around the 15th of this month to start waking them up. They are going to be crazy this year since all the trunks are still alive.Pictures before the protection was removed, during and after!More to come soon!Bill

Your camera's in the dirt under a palm 😆 😆

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