Overwintering Washingtonia palms 

to grow one successfully here in the UK you will need a microclimate. Eg lee or south facing wall, near a heat source such as a heater vent. There are some growing down Portsmouth and London which has a microclimate due to being a city where there is heat loss radiated from buildings. Another winter requirement is to keep the crown dry , but air must flow freely around it otherwise you'll mildew in it

I have 3 filifera and it hates water. I live in NM, USA. Our temps drop to (-7°F) and gets significant damage.

mine survived and I wrap it for 4 months but it dont like it. but the roots are more protect in the ground, what will you fo when it gets big ?? good video

hey mate im a fan of ur channel...where do u purchase ur uk winter hardy palms? can.u give me any links

I just got one of these

More cold tolerant yes, but not suitable for wet/cold/damp/long winters that we get in the UK. Robusta seems more capable of surviving these conditions in the UK.

filifera like lower humidity and should not be wrapped at all in winter in the UK where the Humidity will be really high all winter. It also needs more heat to grow well.

Perhaps your right. The cross might have the best of both worlds.

can you wrap a washy like a tree fern?

Why not grow filifera or filibusta their more cold tolerate?

Did the washy group at the end of the video grow any bigger 11 years on ?

I have one in a small pot that is actually 3 can I split them?

How about filifera?

Oh ok

Sorry to tell you but I was also a arborist before and you don't ever use a ladder to cut a Palm tree use spiked boots for tree trimming and you also have a harness to hold Up your body weight if you get tired

filibusta aren't too cold tolerate, filifera are a better chose
