Johannesteijsmannia Altifrons taking the cold well

[happypalms]

My joeys are handling the cold weather as expected they are quite tough the ones I have in the ground are doing well that’s with temperatures as low as 2 degrees Celsius with no protection as 3 leaf tubes there tough for such a tropical looking palm th3 ones in the greenhouse and hothouse are doing fine as well I wa# never worried about them where as the magnifica are a different story they are doing well in the hothouse along with perakensis I lost one magnifica last winter the only one I planted but that was from tropical growing in Queensland iam hoping the ones I germinated will do better in the ground.

My big one that’s 23 years old having survived many conditions this was the one that sparked my interest in growing joeys knowing they take all sorts of conditions I thought why not grow 2000 of them!
