Not surprising the Trachy looks fine.  The other one let's hope it holds up.

The dry cold is a bonus, if you want to call it that. Wet/icy/frosty cold is a killer.

My thoughts exactly! Although we did have -10f on 2/3/2011.  That trachyc survived unprotected. 

While we do have "wet" cold, it is usually of a shortened duration compared to other locales.

That trachy has been there for 10 years?  What size was it then?  Maybe needs more frequent water?  Trachy grow fast here.  

 

3/2019  look at Trachy in back by wall,  maybe 3 foot  - Look at size related to window on right

1/2021 8foot  Again compare to window at right
