Some windmill palms

I volunteer at my local botanical garden and two years ago I planted two windmill palms and a waggy. I just uncovered them after the winter and they look good.

Waggie This one has been slow. All of the palms were the same size when planted.

This one got some damage on the tips that were touching the plastic.

Glad to see that they made it through the winter well! Looks like they are ready to get a lot of growth once the weather warms up. I always hear that waggies are less cold tolerant than fortunei, that one looks really nice and green though! I left my potted trachy seedling out all winter long and even though it got spear pull and a lot of frond damage, the smallest spear is still hanging in and it's staying green so I think it's going to make it. I definitely feel that they should be planted more often around here, but they are starting to gain popularity now.
Thanks for sharing! Keep us updated
