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

Heat tape fried my windmill palm ( probably my fault)

Also my Chinese fan palm has a little damage but will be ok

And then the Musa Basjoo looking real good!!

Keith, aw, that's too bad; that first pic does not look good. 😥

Once spring really arrives and you cut off the Chinese Fan's brown leaves, you won't even know it was damaged.
I'm still amazed you've got that growing outside.
Impressive actually with very little damage.
Remember some of us thought it was a European Fan Palm? (or maybe it was just me).

Cool pic of the Basjoo leaf growing out the top 😀
Good work!

Maybe start asking around neighbors/friends to see if you can trade LED lights for the old style.
C7s or C9s, glass bulbs.
Come next October, you don't want to scramble trying to find them 'coz they're illegal to be sold here.
And a T-3 thermocube.
How's that for planning for next winter?
🙄 😆 😆

Thanks Barb. Yes I agree I think I will try and protect the palms like Jim does. His seem to work quite well.
