Re: i have need for a palm tree
Careful of the Queens. They will die sometimes as low as 20⁰. Believe me I've lost some nice ones. If you can afford a mule palm (pindo x queen) they are bullet proof but no fruit at least not what...

Re: i have need for a palm tree
Very cold tolerant. Slow growing. Needs sun. Makes good Jelly as the name implies. Some ethnic groups make an alcoholic drink with the fruit. Fruit can be eaten fresh.

Re: Harvest? 32F-34F tonight
I still hope that mine will plump and ripen after the leaves burn but have not had that good luck so far. Maybe this year as I have four bunches hanging. I'll look at them and evaluate on Thursday.

Re: Photo upload is not working
I use Facebook but not in the sense that I post to my page. I'll try uploading pics there and linking to them. I'd really like Gabe to ID a banana I have good photos of.

The Washington Post, CNN and MSNBC offer "fair interpretations of the news"!
