It's only 15 degrees C. today. I hope it wont go up. Not necessary. It's Autumn remember? Problem is, don't know where to relocate the palm tree.
What about let the palm tree stay there outside the backyard until winter. Would be nice to find out if the palm tree will survive from fall to winter up to springtime.
Risking the palm tree in cold weather condition is just a matter of survival test.
Why not eh? I have seen a palm tree somewhere in another part of the island. It was a tall palm tree, older, maybe more than 10 years old. Then in another part of the island had seen another kind of palm tree (anahaw, which is native to Philippines and Florida and tropical islands). How could anahaw survives in 4 season climate outside without dying? It survives the long cold winter. It survives for such long years, how and why? How a 50 year old rambutan tree managed to survive at the island? There could be a great explanation for that eh? Could be that part of the Vancouver island's ground is hotter or never been a receiver of snowfall. There are parts of the island where snow doesn't fall. Or the snow had a fall but because the ground is hot the snow melts right away. Whatever.
Maybe let the palm tree stay there outside and we'll find out if it will survive fall and winter. I don't even know yet if it will snow this year at the island. We had so much snow last year in December 2018 and tons of snow last January and February 2019 maybe less snow at winter time. That's what it is with weather and climate, we are not God so weather and climate is still unpredictable. We cannot choose where we have to live in perfect harmony and choose the perfect climate. Somehow, scientists can only make predictions, some are accurate and sometimes inaccurate and imperfections are part of human nature. Climate change > they usually rally and protest as if it would help change the climate. It can only be controlled by the power of your faith and money. Money makes the world go round and money can move mountains. Changing attitudes of minds are detrimental to your climate change protests.
