Zimowanie Karłatki, pierwsza osłona na niewielkie mrozy.

00:00 Trachycarpus and Karłatka are the most frost-hardy palms, but even they need protection from frost. 00:30 A makeshift shelter will work great for light frosts. I'll use pipes and agrotextile to build the shelter. Sewer pipes are a great material for building a tent. They can be reused and modified as needed. I loosely wrap the palm in several layers of agrotextile. 02:20 I drive the pipes around the palm and cover them with plastic foil. The foil will protect the palm from rain, which can kill the plant in winter. I use clear plastic foil to ensure light gets in. The entire structure was built in a few minutes and can be dismantled just as quickly. When heavier frosts arrive, the palm will be protected with a more solid structure and a heating cable.
