anybody care to discuss their experience with wrapping larger palm trees during winter. I think last year a number of people experimented with wrapping your trees like a burrito. How did everything turn out and what will you do differently this year? I have a trachy fortunei that's 10 foot tall (with fronds straight up) and I need to think about alternative protection methods this year. THANKS in advance.

Kent in Kansas
where it's cold in winter (always)
and hot in summer (usually)

Hi, i posted a few post regarding wrapping in the last 2 years. It works well but this year i will put the arbotex between the heat tape and palm cause it burned few leaves last winter. In a normal winter,i don t have this problem. But last winter was horrible :)...You can see more info on my Youtube channel Under expressiontropicale. And check my last post, it was last spring. Im to busy during the summer to post update. I will start to protect palms at my home and at my Customer in 3-4 weeks. I will post pics and videos.
