time to bring the palm tubers in

[rockyroller]

the cold pretty much did them in. maybe a cpl weeks earlier this year

managed to bring in 2 for the winter

have 4 large tubers to store in the basement until next March

got them started again. a cpl weeks later than I wanted to, but it's done

shud be ready to go in the ground outside by the end of May. the plant(s) we over-wintered has done well

the one in the kitchen not quite as well, but it stayed alive, has new leaves & actually the smaller they are, during the winter, the easier they are to manage

for reference this is what they look like when they are ready for planting (last Spring)

& this is what they look like during Summer months

The one in the green pot has grown really well (before/after photos).

yes, it's been said that this species "grows like weeds"

the tubers finally pooped, altho one is lagging behind

come on slow-poke

of course the big one that over-wintered in a pot is ready for the great outdoors

next week I see overnight temps consistently 50F or higher. I'll still wait 2 more weeks until the US Memorial Day weekend
