Crazy how it can get so cold so fast. We (southern Ontario) also got a cold blast over a weekend with lows of 18F. I only have a needle and a sabal minor so I was ok. Keep us updated!
@@jakubkozie4077 it's usually the sudden cold snaps that do the most damage because the plants don't have enough time to climatize. Hope nothing got damaged!
Thank you for posting this video. My palms are also covered up and with the current warm spell which has hit 57 degrees now (our low during the cold spell was 19 degrees) for the last week or so I have been uncovering them (have insultation board triangles with lights and a lid for top) and I have been taking the lids off to give them some sun and warmth. I know they say these plants go dormant when you cover them and when you uncover it's as if they are sleeping and may get sunburn ? Do you know if it is safe to uncover them during warm spells in the winter ?
Last year was my first winter with palms in the ground and I left them covered all winter. They got damage from moisture building up, so I would at least let them breathe when its warmer. Not sure where you are, but here the sun angle is very low, currently only about 29° at the daily peak. That's low enough to where I don't think sun damage would be a concern.
@@indypalms Thank you for your response ! From everything I have seen the most important thing is to keep the palms dry and out of wind in the winter and I feel better about uncovering them so they can get some sunlight without damaging them. I live in SE Michigan zone 6a so similar to where you are.
If I had to guess, probably in the low 20's as is. Last year we had a warm winter and only saw 0°F so hoping for that, but when it gets that cold I may add more lights. I also have a pile of leaves I can put in there as insulation if needed.
Lovely plants 🪴

My friend, thank you for good sharing 😊
Looking good! Pretty amazing how much of a difference the lights make. Winter is here for sure!
Glad to see everything did fantastic!

In eastern Poland we had a sudden cold spell (-8'C) after the warm beginning of November when temperatures reached 18'C

They don’t look bad!

Is it nannorrhops ritchieana?
Yeah, I have one that grew from seed
Looks good! I hit 20° last week too. So when it’s -3°F outside in mid January for three straight days, what temp will it be in your Washy box?

@@indypalms Gotcha! Makes sense!
I think that -10°C cannot damage trachycarpus.
