  • After a cold winter in London my oldest and tallest palm, Washingtonia Robusta, looks as though it might be dead. The leaf spear in the centre is firm so there is a chance it may recover but all the leaves are dead. The other palms and exotic trees have survived and are looking good! 😎🌴

    It was a cold winter indeed and with a drab summer which followed, my Trachycarpus Fortunei which had four new fronds last summer, could only manage to grow two new fronds so far.

      It certainly was. Sorry your Trachy did not pick up this summer. If you look at my mid summer update you will see there are more damaged leaves that were not showing in this spring video. 😎🌴

    Great to see all your fab palms. I find the overwintering of the cycas tough, whatever I do they seem to get frostburn. Sorry to see your robusta looks 50-50. I lost 2 small ones this year.

      Thanks for appreciating my palms, Vincenze! I’ve had the big Washingtonia for more than 20 years so fingers crossed it makes a green shoot in mid summer. Sorry to hear you lost two small ones. Filifera are slightly hardier but not easy to find.

      ​@@jtruman48 bonjour mon ami je suis de Perpignan sur la Méditerranée. et je vous félicite pour votre magnifique collection de palmiers votre jubaea chilensises es très beau et les brahea armata sont restés très bleue. Un homme qui aime tant les palmiers, et qui réussit à les faire pousser dans les brumes du Nord, ne peut pas être un mauvais homme. Vous avez tout le respect et l'admiration d'un méditerranéen.
