T.Martianus looking good -this one put out a leaf in late fall...it is on the thermocube circuit with the T.Ferns,if you can call them that now...

One of the little replacement C.Cooperi,these had their
leaves burned off again but surprisingly this one has grown a new leaf over the winter under cover..

Best the Sequoia has ever looked coming out of winter,should be a monster if the rains return this summer.

Princeps is still minty fresh!

S.McCurtain(aka little Larrick)is hanging tough,it has
been covered but has had no heat at all...-4F lowest temp so far.

Don't want to speculate as to whether the Graptopetalum paraguayense are going to make it but
they look amazingly good for only having a clear cover over them...no heat!

S.Brazoria,some S.Louisiana and Needles.

Some cactus

Thanks for looking!

I'm a newbie here. I was wondering if an enthusiast like you who has a lot of experience zone pushing, has any opinion on the product FreezePruf or anything similar.

Look forward to any offered experiences or insights.
Thanks,

I did try an experiment with it -spraying it on half a Castor bean plant
but I forgot and left it outside in the (23F) cold to long-whoops!

It may work better on these kind of plants than palms but I think you can get the same effect(or better)planting them under the canopy of a tree.

There is so much difference in cold hardiness from Trachy to Trachy
(even in the same seed batch)that it would be hard to confirm your results.

I do heat the cactus enclosure(usually when it get in the low teens)and
because I planted the Trichocereus Terscheckii I have really spoiled
them this year-I got a deal on the cactus($42 delivered) but not on the heating ) :

I got the T.ferns from Jim at The fern factory,you can find his web address
in the link under "sources for tree ferns"....

Tree ferns are hard to come by in the US. I am working on getting a nice trunked dicksonia sent to me right now. hope it goes through.
