My container ranch is starting to get pretty stretched out.  Hopefully Going outside in a few weeks, fingers crossed!

Yes, and my other tropicals! This is not even all of them. You can also see what long term cool tempatures (50s) does to foxtail palm, since I had it in the garage. It is already growing again, and should recover.

My indoor setup has proven very successful there is some mild stretching with some species. But all and all it’s good enough that I can leave them in 24/7 365 in the house and have no issues. Saying that there’s no substitute for Mother Nature and for me here at 43 degrees north our rule is no frost usually mid may. Sometimes it quits earlier so I’m hoping to start bringing some out end of April but realistically second week of May

Every year I'm "amazed" how early the temps stabilized with lows above 40F, and I put my stuff out early.  (sometimes even early April)  

Every year I'm pissed that May is a Blustery Asshat and all my stuff gets blown over, bent, shredded and/or destroyed.  

Every year my stuff looks like crap trying to regrow until September, then it comes inside in October...  

 

I"m just going to shelter in place this year.

The sago should be fine outside even if temps are in the upper 20s. My sagos are outside, although near the house. Both sagos were left for dead by the owners before, but i have nursed them back to health. The smallest sago almost had no fronds and was covered in mulch. I uncovered the little bit of trunk it had, and cut off the remaining fronds, this thing is thriving now with multiple rows of fronds! Based on what i have seen for your area in the near future, i would leave it inside until this storm passes.

Palms - 4 S. romanzoffiana, 1 W. bifurcata, 2 W. robusta, 1 R. rivularis, 1 B. odorata, 1 B. nobilis, 2 S. palmetto, 1 A. merillii, 1 P. canariensis, 1 BxJ, 1 BxJxBxS, 1 BxS, 3 P. roebelenii, 1 H. lagenicaulis, 1 H. verschaffeltii, 9 T. fortunei, 1 C. humilis, 2 C. macrocarpa, 1 L. chinensis, 1 R. excelsa

On a sunny day, I'll take my Phoenix canariensis outdoor for the day and bring it indoor in the evening. Good workout :)
