Hello, well now its my turn to starts covering up stuff. Its still kind of warm in the 40's and 50's but I know its just a matter of time before it gets cold. So today I starting covering the zone 8 stuff which thats spending its first year in the ground. I covered the sabal palmetto. I also started covering the T. wagnerianus and will cover the W. Filifera the same way as the T. wagnerianus. It will probably take me till tomorrow to finish up.<img src="http://inlinethumb30.webshots.com/31709/2848964700079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041312"><img src="http://inlinethumb34.webshots.com/27681/2329428630079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041315"><img src="http://inlinethumb47.webshots.com/31342/2725321480079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041317"><img src="http://inlinethumb36.webshots.com/30115/2543051880079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041318"><img src="http://inlinethumb23.webshots.com/28566/2888432260079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041319"><img src="http://inlinethumb15.webshots.com/29262/2649475760079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041321"><img src="http://inlinethumb26.webshots.com/29273/2973853990079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041322"><img src="http://inlinethumb24.webshots.com/24471/2405725900079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041314"><img src="http://inlinethumb13.webshots.com/31820/2580948730079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041325"><img src="http://inlinethumb03.webshots.com/30146/2901982950079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041326"><img src="http://inlinethumb61.webshots.com/30332/2205974620079515175S500x500Q85.jpg" alt="P1041313">

macario, nice pics, thanks for posting them.
Everything looks really healthy after summer.

Did you cut half (or one-third) fronds off the palm in first pic (the teepee resident)?
I was thinking you could throw burlap over the plastic (but you put up boards, which was a great idea).
Unless it's very heavy, say, 6 mil or 12 mil plastic, here cold temps just shred it in the wind, by spring pieces are all over the place.

I'm trying to remember who it was that said NOT to wrap Christmas lights right up against the trunk, but it
obviously works for you. Somebody's palm got cooked that way.

And (stomach growl), where is that recipe...?

Is it just me or 😉 does it seem like only a couple of months since macario UNPACKED his palms?

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

Very nice Macario. With all that mulch should help. Are they all going to get overhead protection or just the one in the tpee?
I have a similar idea for my palms as the tpee will post pics Saturday.
