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.

How sad to read of dead palms, bird of paradise, barrel cactus and their groundcovers.
That story, and several others I've read, all suggest holding off all pruning until late spring/early summer...not to cut dead stuff off.
Unless there's a safety issue with a sidewalk below.
Yet the story's picture shows "palm pruning on Wednesday" 😆 😆

Doesn't seem to take very many cold nights either...
all while we measure winter in months 😐
Interesting that the damaged palms post were from March
Hoping that this is all they get of winter.
...and the Joshua trees 🙄

Hi Aaron,
the cold is a good opportunity to find some hardy forms of cactus. 😉
Let us know how cold it gets down in AZ.

That freeze happened in Feb, so probably most of the palms looked dead by March. 🙂
The Joshua trees will all be ok, they laugh at this kind of cold. I watch an area where they grow in nature and half the time that area is as cold as it is here if not colder (sometimes) They grow in the wild just West of Pioche NV and they have some very old J-trees in the town, and it's cold there! 😀

So true. 8)
I just hope the cactus/palms that survived the last freeze will do so again. 😉
