Staten Island NY Palm Tree Update!

 I can't believe we had a blizzard two weeks ago - because on March 10th NYC hit 80F for the earliest time on record. In my parent's yard my weather station recorded 4 days in a row in the 70s (Just for some perspective, we only had 6 days in the 50s since Jan 1 and no days in the 60s prior to this week!)

    March 8     70/44

    March 9     74/41

    March 10    78/41

    March 11    72/48

    March 12    64/34


My fatsia japonica on Feb 16

Sabal Minor March 9 - unprotected on a 5F day but protected for the rest 







Windmill palms & Florida Anise on March 9. Anise was not protected - Trachycarpus were heavily affected

Gardenia Summer snow, Just put a bin over them and ran some C9 lights

Completely unprotected Windmill Palms

Musa sikkimensis could be alive! I mulched it
