Hi, Having waded through snow and being frozen right through in Alesund, I am amazed that you can grow palms at all! Congratulations, because your plants look so happy and well grown. Every year I have to weed out hundreds of Washingtonia seedlings from my garden - I am sure that you would like to have that problem! Good Luck and keep us all up to date on progress. Ciao BrianO
