Love that contrast of snow and the palms. Very cool. ...provided they all pull through for you.

Will be very interested to see pictures of their recovery in a couple of months.

You could be an interesting case study on the cold hardiness of the B. Alfredii. I'm particularly curious about that one.

Palmers,

I returned home from San Diego on the morning of Feb. 28th and found that it had snowed 4-5" overnight. Beaumont is located on the 10 freeway between Riverside and Palm Springs...The 'Inland Empire'. I removed the snow from my plants, finding minimal damage. Luckily, the sun was out early and it warmed up quickly. After a few hours, the plants were all upright and back to normal. I had a few palms with broken fronds but all else was well.

Without canopy, I hang on during the winter months hoping for the best. Palms common in San Diego are a challenge here. I am 3 years into this hobby and have met some of you at the So. Cal. Palm events. Eric (Beaumont Tropics) and I are the only palmers in the area. I have been a 'lurker' on PalmTalk for awhile...Hello to all, Randy

Phillips,

Don't you know someone who knows a photographer? This shot would be so much better with a wider angle lens and a slower shutter priority. I'm just saying!

JD,

So, you want a slower shitter speed....what for, to watch the snow melt? Are you baiting me up?

Well snow is not uncommon for Trachycarpus takil in Kalamuni. Those palms regularly see snow in winter at arround 2600 or 2700 meters!

Well Trachycarpus takil is an ecceptional palm anyway.

A far cry from the people grown up among coconutpalms...

Bummer about the snow. I really like the layout of your garden.

Thanks Shon. Everything looks fine even though it snowed again last Sunday. The warmth this week will help a lot...come on spring.
