Great system James! Just out of curiosity, Whats about the coldest it gets in your area on an average winter? What about a cold one? On average mine drop to around -14c here in my part of europe, and i mostly leave my trees unwrapped, the leaves get somewhat burnt, but they come back well! Great video James!

Nice work James! You look after them trees well

That's so sick that you're the only one around with palm trees. We'd be friends if I lived in your neighborhood lol

hi James...I forgot what video it was. You had a TON of little T. fortunei saplings near its mother. Given the climate in Southern Ontario, when did those break through the soil? I am guessing spring-summerish? And how were they able to make it through the winter? Were they behind the large protective insulator?

Great vid and please do some musa basjoo wintering vids, what size is the pool seem a manageable size?

Not sure if I missed it in the video can ou talk about the aluminum foil trick to get your Christmas lights working again

or press pause ;)

What state are you doing this in?

It’s 2024 and I’m going to do this tonight to play in bed. Going to fire up Drakengard 3

Great video as always. I just did my box for my Washingtonia R. First time. I screwed up a few things but it will work. Next year I will make it better haha. Thanks for these videos!

Also wants to know what kind of palm he has growing now wants to send you a picture it is almost a year pld

I was surprised to see how much that chainsaw ripped the fiber. You might have better luck using a recip saw with an all purpose blade. Who knows.

Here in Colorado I have a Washingtonia x filibusta protected with box method R7 insulation. I’ve had it covered for nearly 3 weeks already as we’ve had sub zero temps and feet of snow!!!

Here in idaho already got an inch of snow (granted it melted quickly), still doing temporary protection on the occasionally freezing nights

Just got our first “snow” in my part of europe, still a bit early for the windmills, I use a mummy wrap kind of technique, since thats enought mostly in my climate, Great video as awlays!

The aluminum foil side should be on the inside mate.Anyway it always worked for me like that. Maybe young fry you are onto something. Always like watching you young guns.

Great selection! beautiful palms!!

it's that time of year!!

These vids are great! Can this work for banana plants?

Thanks for the vids James! My palms are only a few years old but growing out of the boxes I originally made. How wide are your boxes for the larger palms? I'll adjust mine next year and would like to make them the max width I'll need. Thanks! Rick - Windsor.

So I have a few strings that have stop working can you go into more detail with this tin foil trick, how do you do it

Great job bro!

Some of my store bought edible dates that I germinated are now decent sized palms. One is going into its 2nd year outside (with winter protection). They definitely grow faster if you keep putting them in larger pots.

That's really interesting and surprised by the size I popped 6 shop bought date seeds into a bag with some soil myself about a year ago. The sprouted really qiickly so I planted them Nov23 and now they are in pots in the greenhouse and all are prob 3 x the size of yours each with 6 really stiff leaves. The biggest one has a very twisted leaf but looking good. I am south coast UK. I wil email you a pic at the weekend if interested 😊

I did mine the same time as yours oct 23 is my birthday and mine isn’t even as close as yours! How do you grow it that big

oh wow it’s raining for you? 😂 i haven’t gotten a good rain since august in south jersey. fires all over the damn place. my poor palms and musa basjoo aren’t happy abt the water restrictions…

I sent an email for my hubby two days ago 😊

I'm a McDonald's worker Palm Enthusiast. You did a great job brother. Jon in Redding CA.

i'm 30 seconds in and I am PUMPED about your channel and have already subscribed. I'm going hard on my mobile home lot with a Palm Forest in REDDING, CA. I've got some King Palm seedlings and a plant in the mail, two Queens in the ground, and preparing spots for two Mexican Fans. I'm putting in a King Sago (pine) Palm at the moment. My cat works as a Palm Forest worker too. Thank you James! --- Jon in Redding, CA

I still haven't seen any frost here and it's not looking like I will see any anytime soon. It's just fluctuating between Hot and Warm here

Palms looking great as ever, still haven’t had any frost here in my region in Northern Europe zone 7, Musa basjoo and cannas are still up! Cant wait till my trachys and washys get this huge! Hopefully this winter is going to be mild, you’re definetly a great inspiration for all us cooler climate palm growers!

One year update on the date palm ? Great video man

WARNING WOKE BEER. When I saw that Bud Light beer bottle, I immediately stopped watching & posted this. Look away, look away.

You blew it with the bud lite !

For as big as it is does it need to be protected do the temps fall below 18°F. I wouldn’t even protect the trachys as those are real big and established they should be able to handle temps all the way down to 5°F unless it gets way colder than 5°F

Hi James, in which USDA zone does your city fall? I have bought a mexican fan palm plant in Karachi Pakistan which falls in Zone 11A so how fast growth can I expect from my plant? Sorry if I sound like a noob but I am new to gardening and stuff so excuse me

Hmmm if you cut all the fronds off and box it up, would the box still have to be tall enough to accommodate new fronds it'll push out over the winter?

Happy Halloween from Bluegrass State, here 65 f. degrees.

Quick question: in the winter how often do you water your Mexican palms in 6a, I usually water mine in the box with Christmas lights in zone six a two or three times while in the box

Nice pumpkins

Sweet! Over here in SWFL it’s still mid 80s every day. Palms are enjoying it 🌴

Прiвет Джемс у тiбя классний сад ...❤

Прiвет чувак 😊 так держат ...

is there going to be a one year update for the date palm ?

is there going to be a one year update for the date palm ?

Hey man, I’ve followed you for four years now. I’ve grown my own Washies because of your videos. I have mine in pots and won’t make the step to putting them in the ground. It’s been fun, I hope I can keep mine growing for as long as I can.

Brooklin ont hit 21 at least today with higher humidity...southern ontario has been so humid... wow

Looking good! Curious to see the Washy cut back and how it responds in spring.

Hi from Ireland James, been watching ur channel over a year now :) Your palms are developing well, you have a good summer there to help them grow 🌞 Do you get cordyline palms there? They are very popular in Ireland, they from new Zealand originally PS: Feed ur cat! He is skin & bones 😂

I’ve grown palms in Tennessee since 2007. I’ve found that trunk girth seems to have a connection to soil moisture. At least with the windmills I grow. Genetics also. But I think it’s a lot to do with overall moisture. Great palm update and keep up the good work!
