Pictured above is the heavily damaged, blackened and nasty – but still growing – central growth spear of my large (3 ½ feet) Windmill palm. About a month ago, I removed a completely decayed emerging spear, and all I could see was the frond that is emerging now. Make sure you note the other emerging spears that appear at least slightly cold damaged and burnt on the tops – but the operational word here is “emerging.” Indeed, the plant is alive, and hopefully, will be putting up some nice growth this summer.
I treated the entire crown yesterday with fungicide, hoping that any remaining fungal damage is addressed.
Today is my birthday, and to start the day off, I set a new personal record in the gym this morning on the dumbbell press (using 115 lb. dumbbells – a 230 pound total press). Great way to start the day. What remains to be seen is what damage the water company has done to the S. Minor, pictured below with my geriatric mutt Ranger (14 years old). The water company has insisted that it has to be removed, so let's see what's left when I get home tonight. It was set to send up 4 new seed stalks this year, and now it will likely die. I'm sad. And on my birthday too.
