If I can keep this little one alive this winter,

Not "if"... but "when". 😀

Thanks for the pic of the little Brahea, yes, the blue is evident.
Good idea with the bricks to keep dogs from digging, but did they also drag out a container to plant it into?

Please say that's not a layer of ice on that water 😯
Sure looks like it. OMG!

If your "planting hollow" is too low, you can add three more inches of soil in a four-foot radius around the Brahea.
Just don't raise the height of soil on the trunk around the palm.
Then water should drain away (versus into it).

If you do dig it up, remember Brahea don't like ANY root disturbance (just like Bismarckia).
Take a lot of soil from all directions (two-person job, with two shovels), gently into a new container.
There was a UK site posting where the author said he "washed all the soil off brahea roots (because of an infection), and 10 years later it still hadn't grown a new leaf." 😕

Another forum suggested NOT taking a container grown Butia out of its current pot, but just to plant it all into a new bigger pot.
Said the roots would "eventually come out the drain holes of it's 'home' pot."
Sheesh!

Hopefully applying Hydrogen Peroxide to the Butia every couple of days will help it.

Jim,
I'm thinking of the 35 - 45 oF thermocube for the three Chammies.
Also, I planted a new Musa basjoo just to their West for shade. If I made the palm hut bigger, I could include it.
I don't know why that wouldn't work. If it did, the Chammies could get shade next Spring. Any thoughts?

Chammies? Shade?

I don't follow. 😳

Sorry.
I meant Chamaedorea (radicalis in this case) which like shade.
Chamearops loves sun; my one got too much shade due to several Celosia that grew much larger than I anticipated.
Still grew great this Summer.

Got it 😆
