Josef, I dig the low angle shots, makes the palms all look bigger! Do you have any from normal standing height so we can get an idea of how large the palms are?
What was your low this winter?

Outstanding specimens, Josef.
Your Washingtonia came through winter with not a mark on it. Very beautiful!
And that Jubea...wow!

I'm so envious of your winter temperatures...we hit -27 C, a very long and cold winter this year.

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.

WOW Josef thanks for the update. That gives me so much inspiration to start planting more than just T.fortunei and needle palms.

10 or 11 leaves a year is wonderful!!!! Well done!
I hope mine will perform so well soon.

I see more palms in pots in the background of that picture.
Are you planting them this Fall? or next Spring?

Very beautiful, Josef, as always.
