hi, tracy~ i thought about christmas lights...but, being the fairly environmentally responsible person that i am (my daughter calls me the tree hugging hippie...lol), all my christmas lights are the l.e.d. cool lights~they don't put off any heat :-\ ...i found a lightweight fleece throw to toss over her, so hopefully it'll be enough to protect the new growth... my dogs are giving me mixed reviews on the cold...blue is having a ball (but then, he's half husky), but my poor old gator doesn't want any part of it... our area's official high today was 44*, but here at the house, we never hit 40*...they'll calling for a low of 24* tonight....i think i'm gonna pack up and move to florida.... :-) sue (in clear, cold NE Florida) -- ...so, i went to san francisco, found someone's heart...now what? -------------- Original message -------------- From: Tracy <[email protected]> > Sue, > > Can you string the Japanese Plum with Christmas lights to help keep her warm? > Or maybe wrap around trunk to keep warm. > > -tracy >
