Default Re: Winrter protection of Windmill Palms in zone 6/7

My Windmill palms look excellent. I have to admit that I papered them over the winter. I covered them with unmbrella greenhouses and used pipe heat cables and 45 watt hallogen lights to keep them warm. They continued to grow all winter long, putting out about 3 new leaves since fall. I took off the umbrella greenhouses about a week ago. Its been in the 80s here the past week. Now my basjoos are all growing outside as well.
