None of them are lit so, I think we're good.. Might be Banana Goolies..

My test in La.. is the Ice Cream ( not Namwah) w/o a heat-tape in the last pic.. all by itself.. :^)

I admire your work. I'd do the same if I could but we're freezing up solid here tonight. Got my basjoos stuffed and tarped probably until April. I was able to harbor some nice pups though, their almost as tall as me! I miss the tropical landscape already.

Thanks.. I hear you its a shame.. Most of my work was done since I have several in stages of fruiting so figured mize well go for it.. I do know the Agribon + frost cloth I purchased is better than the 3 oz. premium I purchased so we'll see how well it works.. Its already freezing in S. Ark..

Well it got down to 29F this morning in S. Ark.. 35 mph winds knocked off one of my covers it won't do it again, believe you me.. Leaves on the White Iholena are only slightly burnt I think the Christmas lites and heat-tape are the only reason they aren't toast.. The banana's look fine.. :^)

If you only need a 30'er Home Depot.com is reasonable.. I got some on sale last week for $36.. :^)

An Orinoco w/ bunch hangin'.. This one is like a Present you have to wait till Easter to open up.. :^)

Abnshrek · 11-18-2013, 11:57 AM

Namwah I need to redo the frost cloth, so I thought you might like to see how well the 3oz. Frost cloth works after this one took 24F for several hours. Glad it doesn't get that cold normally. It has a slight burn, but not anything major. :^)

Abnshrek · 11-23-2013, 04:27 PM

Well I think this one if it weren't so close to popping I'd clip the top.. :^)

I had to break out Bubba tree to see how I can retrofit it.. :^)
