I lit up my palms

This first picture is how I had my palms  lit up  in the backyard before I read  that I could use LED string lights on my main low voltage landscape wire that goes throughout the backyard .

Below is  picture with string lights but these are incandescent lights protecting my Washy trunk . I recently got down to  21F  , and wouldn't need Washy protection with that Low , but in January I got down to 14F and I like to protect that Washy below 16F :

Here are the LED lights that come on at dark and go off after 6 hours or whatever  length of  time I set  them to stay on till .

I got a little snow . I can handle this kind of snow ,  that doesn't bend down my petioles and mess up the look of my palms  :

That was the saddest scene in the movie Dune:

Thanks , I have done a lot to whip it into shape as far as weeding and mulching and lighting them up . Soon time for fertilizer .

Those California palms really got zapped . I saw some nice sized palms burning on live video .

I'm sure there will be solo palms out all by themselves that barely escaped the fires . Those will really stand out since so many around them burned .
