[@640amthemix]

Great update.I had three and only one survived. Just put up my update on its progress.

You have this down to a science man. The palms look nice. That mule is big.

[@tntropics]

Thanks

[@pinecone_pro]

1:15 the tower heater was a clever way to protect the palmetto.

[@tntropics]

Thanks yep it helped a ton

[@newyorktropicalgarden9364]

The Mule Palm looks great

[@tntropics]

Some years we have lows of 16-18F then it would be pretty nice. -6F was a tough save.

[@theweirdospfan.28]

You make me so tempted, I wonder how the Trachycarpus wagnerianus would do here, especially the hybrid between it and the Bulgaria cultivar. We didn’t get that cold this winter, only down to about 1F a couple of nights

[@tntropics]

You would need to protect them under 12F for adults or under 21F for little ones for best results

[@JoseRamos-jn6ij]

Happy to see everything turned out well.Never realized just how large you palmettos are , they are stunning! Continued Blessings and good weather 🤞🤞🤗🌴🇺🇲🙏🌴

[@tntropics]

Thanks so much Jose. Yes many Sabals now getting big

[@palmnationusa9349]

Had two Unprotected windmills Survive -5°F in this freeze. And the other one is likely dead. The rest of my Dozens of windmills got protected either by snow or with protection I gave them and survived.

[@nathanielalgernon975]

I was looking at the temperatures in Tennessee and it's sort of surprising you got so cold there; up in the Midatlantic/northeast I think our lowest was 7-9F or so. Looks like 2-5 inches of rain coming for Tennessee, but warmer, warmer than us in the northeast.

[@tntropics]

Rain rain go away yep

[@sandorspalms]

Thankfully everything looking good and hopefully no serious damage will show up later on some plants.

[@tntropics]

On the protected ones i think we're ok. There are about 4 badly burned unprotected Sabal

[@texastropics]

Looking good. You definitely have an effective system.

[@tntropics]

Always worked well except last year with 30mph winds and -1F that blew away the heat too much.

[@nvizn2366]

That mule is going to be a challenge, once it gets up to queen heights.

[@tntropics]

Maybe year by year we go. 25 ' this year we go

[@StephenOgorzalek]

The Windmills look great, nice job.

[@tntropics]

Yep I got lucky

[@DTS_3]

nice!

[@tntropics]

Yep

[@ЗокирРахимов-о3ж]

Дякую за видос...

[@bh300]

Glad to see everything survived

[@tntropics]

me too I was worried

[@gidude73]

Everything looks great. Where do you get those heated covers?

[@tntropics]

Go to my channel and there is a palm protection playlist that may help you. it is covers with mini Christmas lights around the palms

[@josh_9266]

Im very lucky i live in the south east corner of North Carolina ( about 1 hr 30 minutes from Myrtle beach South Carolina) so all of my palms thrive in my climate and dont have to wrap anything. We dont get super cold temps and it only snows maybe once every 4 to 5 years.

[@tntropics]

Yep that's a awesome place for palms for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@nvizn2366]

What type of bamboo do you have and are they sitting in pots?

[@tntropics]

spectabilis and bissetti kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqCYmodvfbqcf5Y

[@CCLewis249]

my 2nd winter , i think i lost the fronds ,how do i save ?

[@CCLewis249]

p.s. i had mistake #2 didnt tie up my fronds , (lesson learned)

[@tntropics]

@@CCLewis249 Tell me city, palm type, size palm, low temp seen

[@CCLewis249]

christiana 🙂, 3 windmill palms, 2.5 to 3 ft tall .. temps same as you, only had covered with cloth and lights.. didnt wrap fronds@@tntropics

[@tntropics]

@@CCLewis249 Christiana, TN? Come by sometime. Anyway those palms were small to get these temps. I would squirt 1/4th a bottle of Hydrogen peroxide into each spear area now and after this rain and treat spear area once per week after that with copper fungicide until you see the new spear growing. As far as fronds they won't recover. If they have any green on them resist cutting them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qquZoXiwr5Z3ocU kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIaWkqCtnqxoi5o kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXbahmd8Yqyiqtk
