Am up in Cleveland with a buddy at Cleveland Clinic. I see that the temperature at my place in North Tampa is expected to fall to 22 degrees. That will be...
Jerold- Expecting high 30's here in south Pinellas. Good to read that the Lake Erie snow machine is still working. Last I read was that the lake was pretty...
Jerold, I'm in Jacksonville. Its almost noon and its still 35 @ the JAX airport. (My thermometers read the low 40's in Mandarin on the South side of town)....
I'm in Brunswick, and I just told Steve and Tim (weathermen) that their predictions are ALWAYS 3-4 degrees warmer than it turns out to be. without fail. Last...
normally I try to be optimistic but I'm expecting some record breaking cold, high today barely at 50f, weather svc predicts 26f for Thur morn, so most likely...
Man, that is an awesome weather station! You gotta show me how to do that, please. Is that at your house? Larry Davis Ft. Lauderdale ... temperature at my...
It is a Davis Instruments Weather Monitor II system. It is at my home Just their basic system. Comes with software to upload to the internet although you...
Not exactly sure why, but the temperature at my place did not fall below 30.2 degrees. The dew point plunged to 15 so I thought we may exceed the low of 22...
Yeah, something sounds weird about that! The weather channel was doing a "live" thing from there earlier and it was like 24*. Don't know how you rate a 6*...
Talked to a forecaster at the National Weather Service. He said it did not get as cold in Tampa as they expected because the wind stayed up and it did not...

Jerold, I hope your predictions don't come true. I am in a similar boat, I am in Chicago for the rest of the week, and am only able to beg my wife to go out...
Just clarifying, Andy......you're saying your actual temps at your house are 4-6 degrees lower than the weathermen predict? or the other way around? Last...
Barry, No, my temps are almost always 4-6 degrees warmer than predicted by the www.nws.com website where I click on my exact neighborhood. I am generally...
Many in central FL seemed to make out much better than predicted. I was very nervous with the dew points being so low, my area was supposed to get anywhere...
I would like to know what kind of damage small white butterflies are making on the palms? I have a lot of insects that are damaging the leaves of my palms but...

Somebody recently showed a photo of Royal Palms in the Rio Botanic Garden, are you sure that they were R. regia? I am attaching photos of R. oleraceae planted...
David- It would take me while to find the reference but the royal palms in the Jardim Botanico in Rio are R. oleracea. Supposedly, the first ones were planted...
Phil is probably correct in the timing and species. The Royal palms that line the interior of Rio Botanical are R. oleracea. I did an article in early 2002...

I am having these weird "growths" on the trunk of a caryota palm. They aren't roots or anything like that. They "brush" off if you run your glove up the...
Barry, those are castings from some kind of burrowing insect inside your palm! If you want to save it, you will want to use a systemic insecticide ASAP. Jody ...
YIKES!!! Thanks! On it as we speak! It does look like the "castings" that an earthworm makes in the ground. But that kind of thing never crossed my mind! ...
I wouldn't worry about it. I don't remember seeing it of fishtails, but it looks like some genetic throw-back to the aerial root characteristic of palms and...
Well, it looks like it may be the ambrosia beetle, if they attack palms. When I brush off the sawdust "appendages", they slowly push back out of the...
I'd use a systemic soil drench pestacide or you'll likely loose the tree and the bugs will then colonize other trees nearby that are volunerable. To:...
Barry, Perhaps you can do what is being done here when a coconut is attacked by a stem-borer. A length of metal wire is heated till red-hot and then plunged...
I talked to a U.S. Dept. of Agriculture inspector who actually knew something about plants and diseases, this week. He said that a systemic treatment was...
I belive they are not gowths but a bug making a hole in the trunk and pushing out the removed material… If you take one of this “growths” in your hand,...
I think Merit and Marathon both have the same active ingredient and they are both systemics. But they are also both controlled pesticides, so I don't know if...
