Big thank you Paul. And I love your gigantic garden as well.

[@georgebaumann1]

Oh and you need to past more! I’d like to see how you winterize your paradise

That's going in a new video

Hello from France, you have a beautiful gardien !

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you so much. How is the weather there this winter? We have been very lucky here in New York.

[@Xxradar007xX]

This is great. I live in CT and am going to start planting palms. and your video just gave me the motivation. I think a lot of us would love to see how you cover them in the winter

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Hi Brad. I'm going to document all of that this season. I'm actually pulling some of the tropicals that come inside today since it's so nice out.

[@roo09ful]

Do you cover it all in the winter?

[@northeasthardytropicals541]

Dude your collection is outstanding. The pool area is perfect on all areas. Jealous of your property big time. Awesome stuff! Subscribed.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you! Obviously I'm obsessed with tropicals. I'm going to start posting more. And hopefully some new palms arriving soon.

[@harneksingh1768]

Wow! congratulations on this wonderful work

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you!

[@larryjohnson7707]

Wow! You brought the tropics to you. I appreciate your hard work to pull this off in zone 6.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you Larry. I hate it in the fall with all the work, but in the Spring and Summer its worth it!

[@palmtreedude]

Looks great!

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you so much!

[@stelios3946]

How many gardeners have you got?🙃 Well done. Greetings from Greece 🌴🥰🌴

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

I concentrate on my one backyard garden. Where are in Greece are you?

[@patriciapayne9387]

Very awsome!! What zone is This? Palmettos have a habit of standing still after a transplant and either dying or suddenly growing months or more than a year later

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you Patricia. I'm in Zone 6 here in the Hudson Valley. And yes I am in the waiting game with this Palmetto. Definitely an experiment!

[@williamforbes5985]

Hi Im in Long Ilsna d and have a lot of the same plants (Banana, Windmill Palm, Needle Palm, Yucca Rostrata, Cold Hardy Orange , Hardy Agave etc) When you say you cover a lot of your plants , How much do you do? I wrap my windmill with a thermacube that comes on around 30 degrees with a space heater Mine is about 10 to 12 feet tall My needle palm as well as the other plants I do not wrap at all If you wrap your palms that must be a lot of work My Yuccas are doing amazingly well so many people that see it cannot believe they are hardy My oldest one is not about 10 plus feet tall My orange tree finall put out fruit this year too Im thinking aboout getting a hardy pomagranite The needle palm is amazing also as it need no protection at all Happy New Year , Sincerly Bill

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Hi Bill. I do it all and it's a lot of work. My windmills are the easiest. The Washingtonias, dates and other less hardy palms are the hardest and the most work. I would love to see pictures. Happy New Year to you!

[@DoyleBros03]

Could I plant a castor plant and brugmansia where my dogs are around?

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Hi there. I have three dogs and I have never had a problem with the dogs even touching either plant. And I have friends who bring their dogs over and the run the property without issue. And that goes true for my sago palms as well. I would suggest you don't let the seeds fall from castor beans just to be safe. But I don't even do that. I read that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson used to have castor bean contest both in growing gigantic plants but also some stupid things with the seeds.

[@JT-ok6re]

You got a awesome tropical garden in the Hudson Vally. You need some Sabal minor, and Sabal Louisiana. Those two Palms could survive in your area planted outdoors. Do not cover the Sabal Palmetto in a dark situation it will cause them to rot and die. They need an actual clear Greenhouse with light coming in, and temps at least 40F continuously to survive.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Hi JT... I don't know how I missed this message from you. Thank you for the advice. I have one Sabal Minor I need to show. I alwasy forget. And I have been trying to keep my Sabal Palmetto very warm.

[@justhereforthefoliage]

Amazing! Wow, what an incredible garden! Great job! Can’t wait to see how you protect everything here in the next couple of weeks. Which town are you in?

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Thank you so much. It's a lot of work but worth it. And of course I am behind right now but the weather is cooperating. I am just north of Newburgh

[@justhereforthefoliage]

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 Totally! Been a great Fall so far, less that one morning last week where I hit 32° for two hours!

[@georgebaumann1]

Holy cow that property is just plain awesome! I have so many question lol. So where do you store all those plants that you say you bring inside? Also how do you winterize those windmill palms? Man I’d pay to tour your property!

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Hi there. I somehow missed this comment. Thank you. I have lights in my garage and I put most of the tropicals that don't stay outside in there. That's the easy part. Covering the palms outside is much more involved. And I love giving garden tours. But come in the summer!

[@chrisgusjohnson]

What a jaw dropping display. I cannot even imagine the man hours required to keep this going. I have an 11 ft trachy in nearby CT and I thought I was doing something with my life. This is a whole new level. If you allow private tours I must come see this; please let me know how to get in touch. Also, which Etsy shop sold you the mule palm ? Been lookin all over. Bravo sir.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

Hi Chris. Thanks for watching. You are welcome to come anytime. I love giving tours. I may make you leave with some extra palms :) I bought my mule palm through WekivaFoliage. It arrived in great shape. I have had good luck on Etsy so far with palms. I love that you have an 11 foot Trachy. And I believe Brandon of CT Palms has found a source for larger mule palms if you know him. Stay warm.

[@chrisgusjohnson]

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 Awesome. When do you typically take down winter structures??

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

@@chrisgusjohnson Good morning. I usually take down the Trachy covers mid March or as soon as the weather doesn't look like its going to go below 20 F (-6.6 C) If the weather gets nicely warm I start opening up the front of the Washingtonias, Date Palms, Pindos, etc, knowing I can quickly close them back up if we get late cold weather. This is usually in April. Glad we are starting to warm up on the East Coast

[@rbj4098]

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 No need to buy big mules they grow so fast. You will find they pretty easy to protect even as they get bigger.

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

@@rbj4098 That's great to know. I saw some big mules a palm place in Atlanta when visiting my parents. I think it was Atlanta Palms or something like that. I was jealous.

[@mysunrecords]

Does it stand 8a -12 degree celcius ?

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

It depends on the plant and the duration of the cold

[@mysunrecords]

@@newyorktropicalgarden9364 it depends on the year. What de have in winter is for exemple is -7 celcius but human felt -10, -12 celcius at night and in the day 0 or -4 or rising UP till+3 celcius for about 10 days.
