i didn’t even notice how much it grew until i looked at the videos from when i first got it, surprised me! especially for all the way up here in virginia. but thank you! and thanks for watching!
oh that’s very nice that’s fast growth! Virginia is warmer and tends to be very humid but we get some very cold winters. a few nights in the single digits and about 5-8 nights teens/low teens. i feel like that’s what really stumps them here
@@CentralVirginiaJunglei’m in jersey and dropping into the teens usually on happens a few times and single digits is usually every couple years so will that make it grow faster compared to yours?
@@jiafeiqueen that’s pretty much exactly the climate i get here in central virginia. I will say i do probably see a few more warmer days on average than NJ but it’s essentially very similar. Windmill palms never stop growing in the winter time they just slow down a ton! During the few winter weeks where we’d have 60s or low 70s i’d see some growth pushing out. I’d imagine you’d have very similar growth to what i experienced.
@@CentralVirginiaJungle oh honestly i assumed you might’ve been at a slightly higher elevation than me which is honestly pretty easy bc south jersey is so flat besides like the voorhees area which ik you don’t know where that it is but i didn’t know how to describe it LMAO but yes we experience those random 60 degree days and maybe one 70 degree day but if we’d get that it’d be in december not january or february. i really just want mine to grow fast so it can be more cold resistant but im also really hoping i got one with good genes. i heard some of them if they have good genes could tolerate to like -3 and that would be great since it never does that and if it does that’s not my fault and no one can be like yeah i told you that you can’t grow palms in jersey🙄 also thats cool that it grows all year around. i thought it completely stopped growing. also do you have any advice on how to wrap it? i’m def gonna do the christmas lights and then do i just wrap it in burlap? i really don’t wanna do that stupid box method it’s so ugly so i’m hoping i could get away with just wrapping it when needed. and i was told by a few people that at the height it’s at (2ishft) i should wrap when it starts to go below 27. sorry that i said so much 💀
@@jiafeiqueen the Appalachian mountains are super close to me (maybe about 20-30miles) but i’m at about 400-450 feet elevation, so nothing too crazy. i’ve heard stories that some can tolerate cold temps down to 0F or just a few below that but usually they’re pretty big and mature specimens. I’ve been researching overwintering tricks recently since i didn’t do anything to mine the last winter (Coldest was 1 night at 8F). i’ll probably end up insulating the big one some type of way if there’s any temps forecasted under 10F (usually happens once a winter). For you, i’ve seen success stories with a bucket full of dense leaves put over smaller palms to insulate them during cold snaps!
we have a fairly wet and humid climate in the winter, some snow but a few nights in the single digits are pretty common for winters. Recently in the last month it’s been 45-55 highs and 25F-35F lows. My absolute low was 8F this winter and there is some browning on 2 outer leaves but that’s about it.
ahh lots of rain during a cooler winter can do that. i’ve been fortunate enough to have at least 3-4 days of sunny weather between each rainstorm which has done wonders
I’m not taking anything less than 8 fronds and 6 inches of trunk growth this summer! ahahaha, but yes it seems to have established itself nicely, very happy about that
Thanks for the update. Looking good
thanks for watching :)
Looks good
thank you!
Nice growth on this one.
thank you!
I live in Williamsburg, This gives me inspiration with mine!
youll have a super happy palm down in williamsburg no doubt! windmills are some strong palms!
Thanks! @@CentralVirginiaJungle
It's amazing how quick they grow. That plus the cold hardiness make them a very fun palm to grow. Yours looks really good.

I had one for about 10yrs.I live in northeast texasAnd mine died this this year.
i heard texas had back to back years of really cold winter temps
@@CentralVirginiaJungle yes we did
In Seattle mine put one foot of trunk or more a year. It's much warmer in Virginia, so I would expect faster growth when they develop a trunk.

Is it humid 🤔 ? Did you get any frost damage?

My absolute low was 8F this winter and there is some browning on 2 outer leaves but that’s about it.
@@CentralVirginiaJungle I guess the issue with me is that the browning occurs on the center spears that are coming out
ahh lots of rain during a cooler winter can do that. i’ve been fortunate enough to have at least 3-4 days of sunny weather between each rainstorm which has done wonders
It will take off this year with water and fertilizer
