In September my family bought a 4 ft tall windmill palm tree. We live in Massachusetts were it gets really cold in the winter. After the nor'easter that we just had, I thought the snow was going to weigh down the palm. Then we put burlap around the trunk. In addition we made a tepee around the palm to keep the snow off.
@jccahen Okay. I live in 5. I, of course am willing to do everything in my power to protect it from cold winters of course that's almost every winter lol.
I Highly disagree... i have been studying palms for a long time. and the windmill palm can only take down to 5 degrees F unprotected, maybe some rare ones a little lower. but not -20 degrees F like this video says.
@sfooz actually your wrong. on wikipedia, on the page of this palm tree, " The greatest reported cold tolerance is −27.5 °C (−17.5 °F), survived by four specimens planted in Plovdiv, Bulgaria during a severe cold spell on 6 January 1993"
@sfooz Am thinking about buying this Tree for my Forught yard Near my Bedroom I live in indiana in Zone 5b lately for the past few years the winter have been a wet and slowly never gets pass 0 °F Now, Then watch I say that and it goes down to -9°F, Know my luck. How should I Protect it My room is on the Northwest of the house.
