United StatesPalm
Three small palms ,one runt of the litter is struggling but the other two are doing great.. the heat here is crazy this spring, but I'm keeping a loving eye on them...
United StatesThanks from the 6B/7A line
Yes, this definitely is a little 1gal Windmill. It's up to us to do the rest! This little palm is tough! I planted one back in '16 and it got to be 8' tall here in my growing zone until the polar vortex of Feb '21 killed it (-12F at my house - yikes). I can attest that with some winter care, this palm will take 0F and shrug it off. My second pic is my previous palm the summer before it died. I'm over the period of mourning and will try again with renewed vigor with this little guy. Thanks again and all the best from NW AR!
