Ang, I'm going to modify things a bit next year maybe using the insulation. The Christmas lights work but I'm more in to low tech( unless I were trying an edible variety that would be a different mindset for me then. Check out the tuckedawayfarm .com website. he advertises here as TA farm. It shows there pretty clearly how he wraps his palms for the winter. What it doesn't show is that he also uses lights for additional warmth during below zero weather.

Thanks Stump , after this unusually cold winter I'm not disappointed with losing the p-stem. Next year maybe additional............something. Still the corm is as hard as a rock so I think late March/ beginning of April I'll uncover again and put a plastic tent or maybe a wall'o water over it to jolt it in to growth.
