Musa, why did you make the Bacchus, do you like wine or are you into ecstasy, or perhaps both! How long ago did you make it?

Brahea edulis
I'm not sure about edulis, but mine also is supposed to be very wind resistant which is useful were I live on the coast. I also know it should grow in North Wales as some one else is growing one.

Brahea edulis
Mario, Edulis is supposed to be hardy to -8c but does not like it wet and cold at the same time. How cold does it get in your garden? I recently bought a Brahea Armata which has similar hardness, but I prefer the blue colour. I bought mine from eBay. I recommend planting in full sun in free draining...

Palm advice please
MB, as you live in Telford I would plant the Jubaea outside, as I think they are slightly more hardy also the ultimate size is bigger, if you are young enough to watch it grow. Also do you intend to move house in the future? If so plant the other one out.

Sorry to hear of your predicament, how often do you have these storms from Africa? You know the old saying " It's an ill wind that blows no one any good. At least you have honed your housekeeping skills!!!!!!
