Needle Palm Surviving Indiana


Quasarecho

Recommended Posts

Fingers crossed, my Needle Palm seems mostly unscathed (as well as a couple of Southern Magnolias).

We had a Christmas weekend blizzard/winter storm in the Great Lakes region. Temps down to about 9 below F. I wrapped the magnolias in a teepee of sheets and burlap. The Needle is near the house and has been in the ground for the past 1 1/2 years. I did pile about a foot of oak leaves around the Palm and threw a rug over it for the 3 coldest days. Windchills were down to about 40 - 50 below zero F.

So far all looks good. Back into the 60s a week after the storm. Maybe their leaves will tell a different story in the spring.

I've got McCurtain seedlings ready to plant in the spring for my next experiment here in central Indiana (borderline Z 5B - 6A)
