Look inside Posted by Keith N. IL on February 25, 2025, 3:37 pm Since we have gone from sub-zero to low 50's. I decided to look inside my largest Trachy box.

Re: Look inside Posted by Alvin, z6 on February 25, 2025, 9:13 pm, in reply to "Look inside" Keith, your Trachy looks fabulous! Didn't your winter minimum dip into the z5B, -10F range? Your Windmill was totally unfazed by that cold. I had my first 50+ high (56F), since late December. So, I also took a peek, at a couple of my palms, today. Here's a look at the top of my Needle Palm, still tied up. Despite the mild temps, there is still a bit of snow, in my yard. The Needle looks healthy, though: https://photos.app.goo.gl/49kUMLQ3uKoFJv9B9 Here, I took the lid off my Windmill box. The minis were still on. I have since unplugged them, until the weekend. A few lows in the high teens are expected, and then a return to low 20s and up, lows. The box, unheated, should be enough protection, while temps stay above 20, from this point on: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JRaz8DqmVFGxn3us8

Re: Look inside Posted by Keith N. IL on February 26, 2025, 3:21 pm, in reply to "Re: Look inside" Alvin. Multiple days below zero here. -12 or -13 F was the lowest I think. Supplemental heat kept it alive. I did lose my Juneau and my Sabal rosei and Butia have damage. Your palms look good.

Re: Look inside Posted by Fred SC on February 26, 2025, 3:33 pm, in reply to "Look inside" It looks beautiful! Keith. You did a great job protecting.

Re: Look inside Posted by Alvin, z6 on February 26, 2025, 3:41 pm, in reply to "Re: Look inside" Keith, your surviving palms are proof that, if given sufficient protection, that palm trees CAN BE grown, even after z5 minimums.
