Hey keon! For what it's worth (not much!), now accuweather is predicting Jan and Feb will probably be on the "mild" side. We'll see. We have to get through Mon and Tue night's forecast lows in the teens. I'll never plant another zone 9er - this wrapping of the palms is too much trouble and incredibly unsightly. I plan to buy 2 mule palms this spring, and keep them potted until they're big enough to withstand our winter temps. I piled pine and cypress needles around my bananas, but I'll be surprised if the "zone 8's" survive this crazy cold. Hope your marginals fare well this winter.
