Love your videos. I'm going to start growing plams in Salt Lake City Utah, where I'm from. They have Washingtonia filiferas that grow out in the open on the bottom south west corner of the state and I have always admired them.
What do you use for thermometers? I have accurite and playing with them I noticed the closest one will get picked up by both receivers and wondered what to use for several palms?
Chris Johnson I insulate all the sides and I do not have ventilation I open them up probably once or twice throughout the winter to let some fresh air in and look at them I also make sure that I do not have the foam too tight so it cannot breeze I leave gaps everywhere but all the connections of the panels not large but just enough to let some air in
Aman Basanti It’s not very much work it takes about half an hour to one hour per tree I find it very rewarding to say screw to mother nature every spring when everyone’s grass is dead. I have beautiful palm trees. And I have one tree that has over 16 feet currently so It can’t really get too big you just give up on wanting to protect it and then you can start all over again
@@TheJames2929 hahah I like that, a screw you to mother nature. From this point I wholeheartedly agree. I've seen many bottle / coconut / etc. palms in offices in cooler koppen climates (Canada/Sweden/Norway), I always wondered how the heck they manage root growth.

Mont Richins awesome bro thanks so much
Cool to go back and see some of the original and how things have progressed
Great video! Just one question how long (days) do your palms live in the box ? 90, 100, 120 ?

Thank you! Great information.
Nice their looking great!
I live in southern north carolina do i need this for my sago palm?
Thanks for the video. Do you only insulate two sides? Or did you remove two sides for demonstration? And what do you do for venting?

I would assume on warm days that you open the box?
Could this method work in a zone 5b?
Heather Hoist yes for sure I know someone in zone 4 North of Montreal that does method with great success
Nice video. It seems like a lot of effort for very little return. Also, what do you do when they get too big?
