Welcome!

Jeez! A 2000 buck cactus?

Did the fried one burst its buds, or is it partially top-killed?VEry cool to see Eucs survive in Mass. Maybe some of our Niagara friends should try th...

If no one comes up with something before I check again, I'll do some digging. Can't I.D. either on first sight. Sorry!Nice presents though!

Tim- That's a cool looking plant! Hopefully is will be fully hardy when it matures.How is that Y. alofolia hybrid I sent you?

Love the E. viridiflorus! Do you have the one with the 'citrus' smell to them?

YUCK! That's as cold as it got all winter here in T.O. (yeah, mild winter; Ktown hit -21C)... Good luck!

I doubt that Cordys can actually handle temps down to 0F. Probably this is similar to how Musa basjoo can survive in cold climates despite being frost...

Ok. This is crazy. jesse you're showing 21F right now, and it is 26C here right now. Wow.

History indicates that anything below -10C is deadly for Cordyline... At least from what I've seen and heard.

Barb- No palm can survive here unprotected (well, needles in Niagara region)...

No luck here either. All the ridgida I've tried (not to mention rostrata, thompsoniana, etc.) have died in their first winter here.

Cam- Not only that but the selection is less here AND we're at the mercy of the West Coast where hardiness is not generally an issue...

Nice! That first Washy and the rostrata will be fine, as you know. Tell the Trachy to enjoy the weather while it lasts!

Barb- treat it like a pet and use some nail clippers to trim the needles... Of course, if you do this you'll probably do more damage to yourself than ...
