It has been many years since our current terms of service were updated. Yes, I am referring to that fine print most of us decline to read. The good news is there is exactly one additional sentence and it is just intended to streamline the registration procedures and membership management for our free level IPS membership. Here it is: Registration on PalmTalk.org without an existing membership in our society will constitute joining our society at a free membership level with associated benefits. In appreciation for your attention I will share a palm photo from my farm. Pigafetta , AKA the Black Wanga Palm

This is the main drag down the palm jungle. Good thing I love being outside and working in the yard, it's a huge amount of work. There is so much more to see then just the main path, so many beautiful palms from every corner of the planet. iphone11 and people know how to improve the quality on video, choppy and blurred from time to time. Hope you all enjoy

Hey everyone, I have a Phoenix Sylvestris being shipped to me as we speak from California and I should have it in the ground this weekend. I've searched around the forums for a lot of information but I have a few questions I haven't been able to answer. So I'm gonna see if anyone can help here. I've seen several people say not to fertilize the first year to make sure the roots grow strong, so I'll be doing that. But I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much to water a brand new Phoenix? We get a decent amount of rain where I am, especially in spring, so I was just wondering if anyone had some advice about how many times a week etc? I'm orderi…

Help!! Pindo Palm spear pull… is it gone :((

Hey everyone! New to the forum, been a collector of palms since I was a little kid, now I’m 21 and collect for myself. One of my jelly palms in my front yard has suffered a spear pull, and the leaves have begun to sag, but not turn brown. Any chance of survival? Not too harsh of a winter in terms of snow, but I know what really gets them is the temps and frost/wind chills. I’m in Zone 8A, on the coast of Virginia in VA beach.

A biig thanks for @Matty B for showing us in California what is possible. Maybe he will chime in and reveal his sorcery…. I mean growing experiences. Not wanting to hijack Bubba’s Satekentia in California post. I hope other growers in other non-tropical localities share their experiences and pictures. My experience so far… In January Winter of 2016 / 2017 I bought 2 small, yellowish one gallon Satekentia from KW Palms & Cycads in Lake Elsinore. The two palms were small and cheap so why not Then in July of 2018 I was reading a post in PT. Matty B stated that his Satakentia seemed like it could take more sun than he had thought at firs…

Hi forumers! I live in Ibiza, Spain, and these are the palm trees that have survived this winter in my garden. The pictures were taken today. Now they are in its ugliest phase of the year. They will look better after the warm period, that starts now. I hope it helps if someone wants to try these palms in a similar climate: - Howea Fosteriana - Dypsis lutescens (this one suffered during the winter but it will certainly recover in the warmer months) - Kentiopsis Oliviformis - Ptychosperma Elegans - Archontophoenix Alexandrae - Roystonea Regia - Hyophorbe Verschaffeltii - Wodyetia Bifurcata -Ravenala Madagascarie…

New member, but have been getting some good info from everyone on this site for a while. Started getting some palms a few years back and got inspired to start a bigger garden. In DeBary FL, about 30 miles north of Orlando. Progress so far: 2 B. Alfredii, one on the left planted from a 15g in June 2022, other went in this week from a 25g. Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana planted from a 7g in November 2021. Side yard has a couple of flamethrowers, Chambeyronia Oliviformis, another king palm, Lanonia Dasyantha, Caryota Obtusa, Chamaedorea Radicalis x Cataractarum (most likely) and Chamaedorea Microspadix. Plenty of other tropicals mixed in, big fan of Plumerias.…

Would love to see photos of anyone else’s Jubaeopsis caffra. Mine’s been a very slow grower until more recently. Nearly eighteen years old and it’s seemed, for several years, that it was barely growing at all. Here’s the one in my front yard that I’m limiting to two trunks due to lack of enough space for multiple ones. Post away!

Flamethrower struggling! Any ideas?
by Vic008- 5 replies
- 144 views
So got this flamethrower about 6 months ago, started out fine but over the really rainy winter and cold winter (for the area) here in Long Beach California it’s looking a ragged. some background…Transitioned it to full sun over 3 months and the last 3 months in full sun has been getting progressively worse. It has a spike that was growing pretty fast until about December then almost completely stopped. Has been fertilized with fertilizer spikes and I water it about every 3 days with drip irrigation for about 3 min for a total of about 2 gallons. I’m pretty new to growing palms started last fall any direction would be appreciated. Thank you!

Today wandering the garden as I often do while taking a break from work I noticed that my Beccariophoenix madagascariensis seems to be starting to put on a little size. I can’t remember exactly when I planted it. It’s been about 6 years I would guess. It was a small 5 gallon. Over those years it has consistently put out new leafs, but it never really seemed to get too much bigger. While still considered small, it seems to finally be putting on some size. 5 gallon bucket in 2nd pic for scale. So what palm in your garden caught your eye today? It doesn’t have to be your favorite, just something that stuck out to you today.

Washingtonia palm maintenance question

Hi! Please help me understand what I should be doing with these palms my parents planted years ago. They had dead fronds trimmed when they were reachable but now I cannot find anyone to trim them and someone told me I actually shouldn’t trim them because they will just fall off/down when ready. Also, is the trunk supposed to do this (sort of shed)? Any tips appreciated. Located in central Florida and would like to keep them. Thank you.

Good day all. Long time reader, first time poster. I’ve got two questions for you experts, with the first dealing with my European Fan Palm. Noticed around October last year my palm covered in these white dots. I’ve assumed (probably wrong) that it was a fungus and have tried two palm safe items… 1) copper fungicide 2) neem oil I'm beginning to think it’s more insect related then fungus since the above mentioned product appeared safe for palms, but, wanted to get your ideas on where to go next. The spots are on all parts of the tree, as indicated in the photos The palm is growing well and plenty of new growth but would like to see these…

Can anyone tell me if my palm tree looks healthy.? The base of the tree has a buckled look and maybe that's normal. I admit I know nothing about palms.
