Default Re: Over winter in Spain

Hi for all the people

I live in Santander Z9b-10a (very exceptional below 0ēC) in the city, but in th country when i have my garden (5 km from the sea coast) the frosts occur in winter (only in the days without clouds). This fall the frost are very early and are hardy frost (in ten years I never seen in november -5ēC for three or four nigths. Usually in this month the minimum temperatures I recorded range between 0 or 1ēC)
tbe effect of these frosts are desastrous for my subtropicals. All leves are burned and fall form the tree. However today I´m very amazing surprisely becuase my musas (basjoos and sikkim) without protection sprout again.

I send pictures from today

a musas group (rigth to left) sikkim, basjoos and the smalls are velutina and one from USA that i don´t know a that species belonging.
the other two pictures show the new sprouting from basjoo and sikkim


on the other hand usually I don´t cover my musas and I don´t remove the burned leves fron the psudostem (a natural wrap)
