i'm putting this topic is this forum cause this is the only forum everyone seems to answer questions in. i have a needle palm that i'm growing in my yard for the first time this year- the temp tonight in ohio(where i live) is dropping down to 34* now it is planted up against my house and in mulch and i added a crap load more mulch around the base. i'm going to throw a heavy sheet over the top of it tonight the main thing i want to know is what can i use when snow falls this winter to cover up the palm? they can only withstand so much cold before you have to cover them up and they will dry out in the winter from the wind chill. if i use something to cover up the whole plant will it kill it from not getting fresh air or any light to the plant?? thanks for any info and ideas you may have
