Great video James!!! Next time you come down to Port Dover, I could give you some Blue Java banana pups to try. Mine are producing bananas this year.

Beautiful Yard, we had one of those freaky come out of no where frosts, about two weeks ago 🤬. It has been hot ever since :D

Hey James, palms are looking some good. I took the plunge and planted my washy in the ground this summer. I'm in the GTA as well, wondering when you start thinking about boxing up the washies for the winter. Thanks boss

[@jamestropicals8262]

All looking very beautiful, gonna need a much taller wintering box for the great big washy lol

Hi James. You can cut off the seeds when you are ready to cover the palm. Put the branch of seeds in a box in a dark closet until they change color. Or you can leave on the palm. You’re going to have baby palms everywhere

Very nice palms..I'm in Maryland where its cold and rainy right now. I'm about to start wrapping up my palms. I noticed the leaves are changing color now.

Why don’t u make any videos?

@@ix_conscious_xi yeah some of them have started here a little bit, but still very warm

[@joachim6788]

Do you protect all your palms in the winter or do you let some of them outside?

[@TheJames2929]

@@joachim6788 everything that is in the ground stays outside in the ground and gets winter protection. Everything in pots comes inside for the winter or in my storage unit.

I did collect it around feb/march then they turn blueish

[@TheJames2929]

@@JulenOtero-Arosa yeah that’s what I figured. I just didn’t know if I can get them a little earlier.

[@Rocketman0407]

about cutting of all the fronds. There is a KZbinr you might know called Austin Lovenstein From Little Rock, Arkansas. He would prune of every frond each year on his washingtonias without any problems. Trunk was thick and everything. there is a video of it called "Washingtonia Robusta Palm Austin Lovenstein" Its like 12 feet of trunk he says.

[@TheJames2929]

@@Rocketman0407 oh yeah, for sure I definitely know you can do it. I just never have before.

[@broon_342]
