What is happening to my king palm?
by Rich Amooi- 1 follower

Happy Monday! Something weird is happening to our king palm. We planted these 6 years ago. First there is a gaping split going up one side, it is pretty deep. The other new thing that just happened is that large growth on the side. It is like two inches thick. As you can see by the photo, the smaller palm on the left has had problems as well. What do you think is happening? Is that pink rot? For reference, we live in San Diego, California. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yearly palm sprouts! Identification?

I think it’s a type of washingtonia as they are pretty much like weeds here but just want to know. Their seeds are everywhere here even on sidewalks. Picture 1 are the two new ones. Pictures 2 and 3 are pictures of a Washingtonia that I have never watered or given nutrients to but has been growing at a snails pace since 2022. Picture 4 is one that I thought was gone but has shown new green growth, it originally sprouted last April.

European Fan Palm Dying

Hi, I am new to this site and glad I found it. I live in Marco Island Florida and can’t figure out why my fan palm is dying. I have 4 palms and have had to cut trunks off of some of them in the past due to browning leaves. This time the issue seems to be affecting the entire tree. The palms were planted a couple years ago. Any advice would be appreciated!

I have a sick palm tree - looking for advice on saving it. I see a lot of brown palms here in coastal Alabama this spring but this one tree is really worrying me. I've trimmed (it needs it again), fertilized, adjusted water... It still seems sick. It's sister on the other side of the driveway is doing fine. Can it be saved? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. JR

Inspire me!

I moved to Brownsville, Texas recently. Solid zone 10a as I understand it, with the occasional unfortunate Texas cold blast. The front yard is mostly grass. I want to keep it that way and grow a few palms in the grass. I like that aesthetic. I have already purchased a large (12ft-ish) Phoenix sylvestris in a 45g pot which will go where the red stick figure palm is. I know it's boring, but Phoenix has always been my favorite genus and I am satisfied by the sylvestris appearance. I am looking for some other ideas for palms to grow on the sides of the driveway, and some small ones in the space between the sidewalk and the street. The grass where the pygmy…

Recommendations needed for palms

I’m in serious need to revisit the palms that are growing on my farm. I will be culling a bunch of palms that just don’t like it up here. I would like some recommendations from folks for Palms. That would do well here. USDA hardiness zone 12a so frost is not an issue. However, lack of heat is we are the same heat zone as Alaska. Below is a sample of what the weather is like here for nine months of the year. The other three months lows run between 64 and 66° and highs run between 75 and 79°. Soil is acid pH5 and rains all year (180" total) but driest months are Oct and Jan. Soil is always moist. Soil is low on N, Mg and Ca. Examples of palms that have done ver…

Butia pollination
by luke.m- 1 follower
- 3 replies
- 95 views
I have been collecting fruit and seed locally of what I believe is Butia oderata. I’ve noticed from the same cluster of fruits a real difference in nut and fruit size. For all appearances it looks as though the first group of fruits to ripen have viable seed and those ripening now don’t, and the shift is consistent. The first ripening fruits where large averaging 35mm with the nice big seeds, those ripening now are more like 25mm with a very small seed. Can anyone share any info as to experience with pollination of butias as the fruits are well developed but seemingly with unviable seed. Is this a normal occurrence with palms? Can these make fruits without pollinati…

Sowing some chamearops humillis seeds
by happypalms- 0 replies
- 63 views
I purchased one hundred humillis seeds one of the questions I get asked is what have you got that will take frost so it’s optimal for me to grow something that is cold hardy and the humillis fits into that market you cannot just grow what you only desire in the tropical exotics not everyone has those growing conditions for exotics while they still enjoy palms it seems only fair to supply such a market and there relatively slow growing so they won’t brake the growing budget giving a good return in the years to come hopefully 🤞

What's wrong with my Pindo palm? :(
by PashkaTLT- 1 follower

Hello guys, My Pindo Palm is dying or already dead. It spent the whole winter in my "palm room" with additional powerful artificial lightning and a humidifier during the driest months, and it had been doing fine, but about a month ago I noticed it started to look worse, kinda drier maybe, and it started to drink less water. All my pots have good palm soil and good drainage, and I also test the soil for moisture level to decide whether I need to water the plant and how much to water it. We went on vacation for a couple of weeks, I watered all the plants on the day of our departure and then on the day of our arrival, and I was shocked to see how bad the …

The Mystery “Brown Palm”
by knell- 1 follower

full disclosure: this is a wacky ID request and long story When I left for Hawaii back in 2017, my friends and relatives inherited my California palm collection, which was full of… rather ambitious species for California, mixed in with practical things like Jubaea and Howea. My parents got the bulk of it with all the leftover bags of seeds and anything my friends didn’t want, which they weren’t too thrilled about and did not seem to give much care or attention to (understandable). So, most of the seedlings perished. There was one notable exception, a palm that my non-plant-person father chose to take care of because it was an unusual shade of… brown. …

Saw a bird nesting inside a palm near my house. What is the size of the hole inside the palm to make this nest? Do you think the bird could hollow out a healthy palm or the palm may have been significantly weakened to invite the birds?

Coconut rhinoceros beetle
by WaianaeCrider- 2 followers

I have two royals that have been in the ground around 22 years. I treated the first today for Coconut rhinoceros beetle prevention (I hope). with Imicide capsules containing 3 mg each. Hope I drilled deep enough for the liquid to get absorbed and taken up to the crown. Will probably do the next tomorrow as I'm fighting a hernia and bending over hurts. The cost for 24 capsules was $175.95 plus tax. I have 7 pritchardias which will also need treatment. At this price I sure hope I save these. There are at least 16 more large palms, 22 year old palms but so far I don't see damage The one on the right is a Roystonea regia and the one on the left is Roystonea olerac…
