Outdoor palms in tropical southern Ontario

Here’s my yearly photo of the palms by the pool. As you can see the trees are budding not green yet but the weather has been fantastic. 28c here today. The palms have bee. Outside acclimating for two weeks already. We swam last night so we are officially 2 weeks earlier than anything previous. Love it! So glad to have the palms outside. I do keep some of the smaller ones in the palm room full time (for now) but thought I’d share

For interest I have predug holes in the ground all year long. I take dummy pots and put them there in the winter so that hole keeps shape. The ground in summer is very hot here with 16 hours of sun so the palms grow well here

Also the foxtail we have gotten away with natural lighting for 3 years in winter. But the palms tosses fronds fast from full sun to shade so this year I’m building it an led lighting structure so that should help

If September stays warm than 5 months of growing season is unreal for here. Not bad for 43 degrees north

Don't they BURN badly when you put them into the site, it looks really exposed to full sun.  Hyophorbes will burn severely in full sun unless acclimated, so will Foxtails. Is that an Adonidia I see in the mix?

Yes they burn coming from indoors to may sun is harsh. They have had only morning or late eve sun. The bottle yeah one day. One day I left it in a bad spot and it burned. Very hard to transition Adonidias are on the deck
