Environment Canada web site is showing -19c (-2f) for Sunday night in Edmonton. Around here, we're forecast to be stuck in the same weather pattern we where in for a big part of December with night temps at or just under freezing and daytime temps around the 5c to 6c range (40f to 42f).
How are your palms doing Allen?

Cheers, Barrie.

We hit -1.2C so far in this cold snap. Not too bad. At least the days were sunny.

We opened both of the shelters today so that my Grandnephew could take pictures for school.

The fronds on the 2 Livistona chinensis in the unheated shelter look like they were frozen and should eventually turn brown. I am still hopeful that the palms will regrow from their roots. I was surprised that the ground surface was not frozen. The rhododendron that was rated Zone 7 is in good health.

The plants in the heated shelter are all fine although the Washy, Trachy and Sabal seedlings need water soon. I just have to figure a way to deliver the water without shorting out the heating cables. The temps in the heated shelter have been between +1C and +15C depending on the amount of Sun that we get. Sunday will be a 24-36 hour chill before temps return to above normal. Even with the winds it should not be a problem.

I'm still 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
