Here are some updates as to how my palm trees are doing so far this winter. Some potted palms out getting some sun.

Wow! John those are awesome!
Windmill .... looks like an CanaryIslandDatePalm or Phoenix to me. Knuckleheads
Love all those Washy's!
Wish my climate was a bit more mild. I'd plant some. -9 just a couple days ago and -3 this morning.
I can't imaging trying to protect some through that kind of cold.
Love your photos!

Nice palms.
How are you protecting the Sabal "Louisiana"?

The Needles look like they're growing already!
Your filiferas and robustas are going to get huge this year.
The troopers in GHs did great this winter.
Great job as always.
This is your earliest "opening" (or maybe just earliest picture posting).

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
Thanks for your comments. Wes I have so many Washy`s because when I first started out in this hobby 7 1/2 years ago they were the easiest to germinate and grow. I use to have a lot more ,but have sold many over the last few years. Erik the S.louisiana are normally with the Trachy`s under the palm hut . I had taken it off for the day when the pics were taken.
Mark you would be surprised at what you can grow and get through the winter. There are qiute a few here that are in colder zones than yourself. Barb one more month and we should be in the clear for any more killing cold temps. Bring on spring!

Nice job man.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
