Mine looks ok outside in shelter no brown leaves yet .On the other side my road is another its been there about 3 years close to house .I split a triple they wil stay in pots for now.

[Nick]

Derrick I really don't blame you, are you going to wait until they've put a fair bit of growth on before you plant them outside in the garden

[derrick]

Yeh are keep them in pots Nick .Are you getin another washy to give ago Nick.

[Nick]

Derrick yep, I will get another, and give it another go in the summer.

[derrick]

Some recent little washy pics .Its growing slowly i think.

[derrick]

i saw a blue tit robbing some fur on my Dicksonia antarctica haha i scared it away and now non what so ever touch it anymore lol

If my washy does kark it this year,I ain't going to bother with them anymore,I've lost 3 over the years.Going to stick with what has proved hardy over the last 2 winters.More Trachies,Butia's,Chamerops(despite several getting a bashing)& more Jubaea's(when I can afford the £300+ asking price).All the above have done well over the last 2 years.I'd sooner have fewer species,but more of them,knowing they ain't going to keel over in the winter.Will persevere with a few more tender subjects,but they'll get fetched undercover once it starts to turn cold.I'd hate to try & calculate how much I've lost over the years on supposedly hardy palms.I feel disinclined to spend the money again.

Derrick they are looking good those little Washy's you have there mate good one keep them going, Metalhammer I've lost a lot of plants admittedly only 3 were palms but yes if we were to thin of what it all added up to i am sure it would put a lot of us off, i guess we are dedicated in our pleasures

I have a pot with 4 stems which I've been overwintering in my porch. Do they do well if split up or should I leave them together?
