What are you going to do with your Palms? Do you store the plumerias with the bananas?

Paul, here is what I have done with the butias. They have since outgrown the 55gal. plastic barrels, so I will be doing something different this year...



150 watt heat bulb inside attached to a thermocube (on at 20F and off at 30F)



Covered with frost cloth:



All my other palms stay out unprotected and do fine here so far!!!

As far as my plumeria, they go in a friend's greenhouse where temps do not go below about 40F.
Wish you the best with your orinoco overwintering!!!
