First winter planted!
Wondering how it was doing after -20C twice so far this winter.
Stuck the camera under the tarp, and YIPPPPEEEEEEEEE!

Only 3.5 months until the covers come off. 😉

Nothing about the issue. Everything is fine but the palm is beautiful!

Thank you Igor.
I'm so glad I put the T3 thermocube in the Brahea's enclosure as the armata is more sensitive to cold than the Washies I would think.
Planted it on a warmish day early April 2013.
I think it liked our summer heatwave. 8)

In London (UK) I've seen some good size Brahea but no Washy.

Here we are:
Washies are much smaller:

Whoa, that B.armata is a fine specimen. 😯 :compress:
Wouldn't have thought it could handle all the UK rain.
Reflected heat from adjacent bricks would be beneficial year round.
Those are some nice looking Washies.
Look to be about the same age as mine.
Appreciate you digging up the photos, Igor, thank you.
I'd better break into the Washy enclosures for a look. 🙄

Thanks Tim.
Gotta admit I'm head over heels about B.armata. 😆

Your palm is looking great Barb. I should learn from you but I guess I am too stubborn.

That's quite the compliment, thanks Chad.
Wait until you see Adam's B.armata, also planted out and protected for winter.

Barb that is nice! Igor, good example.
I am waiting for a break in the weather for mid-winter photos and check-in.

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.
