thanks ...Hope the cold Plains winter is not too harsh!!! It is even pretty cold here now. I was in NYC yesterday with 23 degree high temps and 50 65 mph wind gusts. It was brutal atop the Rockefeller center observation deck...Aye!!!!!! I felt like a cold hardy palm myself trying to survive. I also noticed that in Central Park now by the seal attraction they have about 10 cold hardy palms planted (most were wrapped in Burlap and mulched with leaves) Can't wait to see them in Spring.

Mike,
That's great that there growing hardy palms in Central Park. I know the Brooklyn Botanical Garden has a huge trachy that's been out for many
years. I'm planning on going there this summer, it's only about a 3 hour drive from here. Have you been there?
