Default Re: soil type

Because of the record lows that are breaking right now here in California, I wrapped the newly planted California gold with burlap, then wrapped 3 rolls of 100 each Cristmas lights around from the tip and the middle of the p-stem then from thereon down wrapped the stem with floor heat mats.
It went to 20 degrees this morning but I checked the tempt at the stem and it was 54 degrees around and on the soil close to the corm.
here's a pic how I protect my citrus trees and the one that looked like a chimney sticking out at the roof is my banana.
