I remember last winter here was very warm. It was in the upper 60s around thanksgiving, and the trees held about 50% of their leaves here until about christmas. I did look during the winter and there was no discernable hole in the ground either where they were, and in late feb/ early march of this year they started coming back out of the ground. I saw the tips poking about 1 foot up and were bright green and dark red.

Im going to drop off a note at thier place with my email address and a couple of questions on exactly what they do with them. They also have in thier yard quite a few palms that are NOT hardy here, as well as some large tree ferns. Id like to know what they do w/ those too.
