Thanks for looking!

Man Jim. Impressive.

I always enjoy your posts!



Hey- Do you have any first hand knowledge of T. fortunei (normal) vs other forms? How do these compare to princeps or takil or nanus? Just curious if you can give some insight into true hardiness vs. what people thought. I must admit that I've moved away from palms, so wanted an update on the current thinking!

Hey Paul

Probably T.Nanus is the hardiest,then Takil...in regard to
temps tolerated,that seems to be on a case by case basis still.
