Hey Everyone It looks like this topic has died down, however, I have great news. My sabal minor, and trachycarpus fortunei, has experience temps as low as -22C(-34C with the winchill) and still green and alive. How is everyone else doing lately? Adam

Hey Everyone Yes I was able to go to broadway gardens, infact I bought 2 palms and a trunking yucca. They are a ; trachycarpus fortunei and a sabal minor, last but not least a yucca rostrata. I planted them as early as the 1st weekend of May. On that note, unfortunately there is no life from my musa basjoo, however I did have some gladolicies? which is like a zone 7, has survived the last two winters,..............The tulip fest was awsome here in Ottawa, which is usually pretty good. I have fell in love with the helmar tulip. It has beautiful look to it. Nevertheless, front and back yard looks good,.....oh and Canna lilies can handle about almost -5C,............ Happy gardening Adam

Hey Phil, Im impressed aswell,...however I am currently reading "palms don't grow here and other myths" and they have a livistona chinensis in a zone6a. and they have pushed theirs to about the same as me,...so maybe I am thinking that my palms is onw of those in sted of the L. australis. How do you post pics. I have gotten the ppl at Ritchie feed and seed, to start looking for my plant list that I gave they a while ago, and hopefully they find them all. Hows everything with you Phil, anything new and exciting? Adam

Hey Everyone, Happy holidays, and I have an annoucement to make. I had a break threw with one of my palm trees. It was my Livistona Australis. I have had this very small palm(less then a foot tall), for 2 yrs now, and knowing me I enjoy pushing tropicals to their limits. 1st outside then pulled in, the coldest temp I saw it at was -10C no protection, and covered in ice. Yr 2(this year) I pushed it too -15C and no protection once again.....I think that I have a pic of it when I pulled it inside.................Well, next winter Im hoping to push it top -20C, and it it survives, I will plant it in the ground and then see what happens. I have garden pics if anyone is interested in seeing them. I am hoping on making up a website but haven't gotten around to it yet.

PhilNS, Are you saying since that I don't have"super intelligents",.. which it would have been more polite if you were to just say that i was misinformed and that there is more facts, and that ottawa is more of a zone4b, but a person of your intelligents i don't know why i am explaining this to you. But I appreciate you explaining it to me that there is other facts to ottawa plant zone and that it is more of a zone 4b then a zone 5a, I just really appreciate you saying that i don't have super intelligents, thats all,................. To others, I enjoy having this gardening chat and sharing information with all of you. However, is windsor, ON a zone6b or a 7a, I knwo that it is something like that. Oh Ok, now I really have a question, for a musa basjoo, which is hardy to zone3, how much mulch should I protect it with order to help it survive this winter, Oh it is its first winter outside all winter.. thanks musa ottawa

Richie's Feed and seed is located here in Ottawa. However,...im confused know, why is that usda and canadian usda is differ. for instance; my buddy that lives in Niagra falls is a Zone6 and he agrees that in Ottawa is a zone5a, and so does the Goverment of Canada, and the temps of the usda and the canadian usda has the same temp for each zone. So now I am just confused. Now back to plants....... well after awful weather and heavy frost, my musa basjoo is still growing. The main leaves are toasted from the frost, but however its still able to produce new leaves, and yet we have absolutely no snow and hitting temps of 13C which I find really neat............. happy gardening untill tyhe season is over,.... musa ottawa

No. Not really. I would recommend to go to the nearest and largest nursary to you and give them the bontanical name of the palms and wait for them,.....that what i did. I was very lucky. I was able to get a trachycarpus fortunei in 2weeks.

Well, I only grow musa basjoo. I don't have the other hardy palms, however i have seen them grow in a z5b. Musa basjoo is the world's most hardiest banana tree. It is hardy to zone 3. Its root hardy to -20F. I recommend it to anyone who wants a tropical look for their cold paradise.
