Re: Anyone in the northeast
I removed the mulch of straw from one of my smaller windmill palms and the basjoo clump today. The windmill seems to have fared well through the winter. The basjoo looks like it always looks....terrible. But eventually it will start with new growth up the p-stem. I left my small needle palm uncovered this past winter (unlike prior winters) as it's supposedly so hardy. Well, it looks like toast. Oh well, maybe it will start some new growth now that it's warming up.
