Chamerops humilis protected inside a box against heavy rain- and snowfalls and strong wind. There are two Trachycarpus fortunei in the garden. One of them (1) has no protection at all, while the other one (2) is protected by an umbrella as explained under "December 2005".

September 2006

The big trachycarpus got 6 new leaves this season of growth. This is quite good for being this far north. 2006 came with a relative warm and sunny summer most places in Norway.
