I agree with the extra protection to save a palm. I have had butia capitata in ground for 3 and 4 years and protect them fairly well each year. We have not had more than a dusting of snow for the past 5+ years where I live but have plenty of sleet and COLD rain every winter which is so hard on them... I figured that my largest trachys were grown enough to go without any protection, but wish I would have at least wrapped them in frost cloth during the worst of the cold and wet. Live and learn!!! No hard feelings and can appreciate other's preferences. If everyone liked the same thing, what a boring place this world would be, huh?!?!?!?! Take care and BTW, congrats on the new responsibilities!!! Sure you will do a good and fair job!!!
