And they were so excited about the palms in the yard (particularly the chamaerops) that I might be featured in Hardy Palm International.<br /><br />The pot is a favourite of mine. And I don't know if I should let out my secret ... It's plastic! It looks too nice and kind of posh, but it was super cheap.Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219272603726629982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-73253983104876612422013-07-17T22:09:39.965-07:002013-07-17T22:09:39.965-07:00Congrats on the new palm!!!

Pretty much all I do is take out any non hardy succulents, I build a wire cage around the banana stalks and fill it with leaves, and then beyond that have burlap on hand for the tree ferns, chamaerops and pindo palm. Another trick that I've employed during really cold winters is to get the old fashioned christmas lights because they give off a bit of heat. But thats about it. It only adds up to a couple hours work over the winter months and is well worth it.<br /><br />I am soo glad how things have been this July! It is definitely one to enjoy!

Do you need to take precautions to protect them when winter comes? <br /><br />I'm glad Mother Nature is treating you well this July. Enjoy the sun and the warm weather!

I love that you have some conifers in your garden as well as they are so beautiful with the sun streaming through their needles, have a nice fragrance, sound beautiful with the wind blowing through them, and remind us of how lucky we are to live in a place where we can grow both them and things like bananas, palms, and agaves! outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.com
