I think you are a dedicated palm lover. Kudos to you. Update us with photos when you release your Washy. What temps are you looking for? It should be fine once lows exceed low 20sF/-10C. Then it will be a happy palm for 6-8 months. Hold off on the potted palms until the danger of hard freezes is over

Your Washingtonia got more green than a lot located in many areas of the southern US.

Can you put the picture in the post, rather than a downloadable file.

Much respect from South Texas I like your “where there is a will there is a way” attitude. Don’t be discouraged by the Washy that didn’t make it, look for Washy seeds that come from a tree that survived a super cold event that is growing in a more northern zone it should have some more cold hardy genetics. Dallas Washy seeds that survived Palmageddon ‘21 might be a good seed stock to try out next.

The bananas are wicked. I've never tried winterizing banana outside. I usually dig them up and keep them in the garage. How tall are they?

 

Kudos to you👏👏

My musa basjoo didn't make it through the summer.  I've planted it in May and grew about 3 feet tall then suddenly they declined we were in the driple digits for almost 3 months and still are. I watered them every day .

Once planted they took of quite fast , had healthty green fronds then once summer came things changed fast . I planted my musa basjoo on the most sunny side of the house but my assumption is that since it was a young tree it couldn't handle the upper 90s and long period of 100 degree weather.  I watered every day for a few minutes.  We almost had no clouds throughout the day.  I guess it was too much heat and sun but I could be wrong.
