Mexican fan palm protection

11 years ago

Basically the same as before ( lights and such inside) but instead of the usual tarp I took 3 woven plastic feed sacks and stapled them together to create a sleeve. Will see how it goes. Decorative too!! Ha ha

I bet you have a few cuts and scrapes to show for it. Those Washies have some sharp teeth!

I love the idea of having removable protection for palms....
not usually possible here at this time of year.

The sucker is going to grow crazy next year,you will need more feed!(-:
