With a lot of hard work, fleece, cable ties, Styrofoam, and wooden posts, we got to work and the result is very good. We now have a winter bar with palm trees and exotic plants. Who wants an ice coffee, green tea, coffee, or would you prefer a beer, amaretto...?

An Amaretto with lemon for me please, thank you!

Wouldn't white fleece let more light through?

Already done. I'll take one too 😁.

That's a good question. The green ones should also be well light-permeable. I'll ask again. We got it from the garden center.

This won't let the air pass though; no ventilation > increased risk for fungi.

You should leave a small ventilation opening at the top. It's the best way to protect a plant. Protecting it from frost with frost netting also works, but bubble wrap is better.

We had the same at the old location.

If the palm tree is in a pot, wrap it up to the height of the pot and cover the rest with several layers of fleece.

We would wrap the planted palms with several layers of fleece, as there are different types of fleece in terms of material thickness. First, we would place wooden posts around the palm tree and then the fleece. First with a smaller distance and then with a larger distance, 3 wooden posts per layer of fleece. Sabine saw this in southern Ticino. I wasn't there. Yes, it's time-consuming, but I think it could be worth it..

With fleece, cable ties, Styrofoam, and wooden posts, we had good results and only very little damage.

According to the gardener, it is translucent. I asked before noon.

Gin and Tonic bitte. The things we do for our plants. Neighbours in this city would cause so much trouble if you tried it here.

Experience has shown that some plants take that type of thing better than others.
