Memory lane Posted by Jason Western PA on July 6, 2025, 6:50 am A little trip down memory lane. First is "Rona". Rona was got the week the country shut down while we were in the Outer Banks. What a trip that was!! lol Planted in the spring of 2020. In 2022 we had a vortex that was nasty. We went from 40F at 6am to 0F at noon. Its fronds all were brown when I noticed it. I ended up trunk cutting it. The first spring it grew back everything it lost. Now, 3 years later and its over my head. Big boy! I got it in Virginia in 2016. He told me I might as well give him the $90 because it will die in PA. I showed him. lol It's my pride and joy for sure. I planted it in 2018.

Re: Memory lane Posted by Fred SC on July 9, 2025, 7:04 am, in reply to "Memory lane " Jason , it has recovered beautiful. You do a great job with your winter protection. You are certainly a dedicated palm grower. Still hot here and still very dry. We’re supposed to have to get some thunderstorms this evening which we need but they might be severe, but who knows it’s been in the 90s here for weeks and it’s just swelling. I will be glad for fall. My garden is pretty much burning up I watered for two days, several hours a day and that’s about it. Water is so expensive here because you have to pay a sewer bill . I don’t guess I’ll water anymore. Just not worth it , even my artichoke , which comes from dry Mediterranean climates is dying. It had three chokes on it before it started dying out. I couldn’t keep it watered .
