Trachycarpus Fortunei Braving the Winter Outdoors


I've kept a Trachycarpus Fortunei on the front porch. It's a bit warmer there than out in the open yard since it is sited next to the house and is on a covered porch. I also have placed a string of C9 lights on the dirt around the base of the tree and covered the pot with some blankets to prevent the soil and roots from freezing.

It's been cold this winter and has gotten down into the teens several times. So far no problems.
