Hey everyone! I live in Queen Creek Arizona and currently have mule palms and pigamy date palms in my yard. I just spent a week in Hawaii and fell in love with the tropical palms and plants here. I have a big area on the east side of my house that is currently empty and gets afternoon shade. I would like to plant a Royal Palm as well as a papaya tree, banana tree and birds of paradise. Am I crazy or is it doable? Any advice on how these plants do in the Arizona desert or how to take care of these plants to make sure they survive? Or any ideas where I can purchase these plants in the valley? thanks in advance!

Pindo (Jelly) Palm

We had this small Pindo palm planted by a local nursery in the summer of 2022. In September of that year we had hurricane Ian come through and we had flooding in our yard. Then we had some bitter cold that December (17 degrees for 4 nights in a row). It actually looked fine last year with new fronds but it doesn't seem to be growing much. This past winter we had several very cold nights (low 20s) and now it's springtime and it's looking a little rough. The new fronds coming in have black on them and the older ones have brown on them but I don't think they're the ones that should be ready to cut off yet. What should we be doing?

how long does it take until a palm nursery is profitable? is it a good businness in Australia?
by Brandon39.5- 14 replies

Hey, I'm just wondering if a palm and other plants nursery would be a good business. Because I would like to study horticulture and maybe have a nursery near Brisbane and Sunshine coast, but I don't know, Anyone knows how's the demand on exotic palms and plants on that area of Australia? How long would it take until you start making money? Would you need a lot of money when you start off? How do you even open up a nursery? If anyone has any kind of information about this matter, it would help me a lot. Thanks

Potting up some dypsis lutescens

Not really my choice of palms as a collector but the biggest question I get asked is do you have any golden cane palms for sale unfortunately you got to grow them for the market I usually steer them towards a dypsis baronii or dypsis black stem petiole but they insist on golden cane palms not a problem but in a few years it’s leaf city on a Sunday gardening job

Potting up some Johannesteijsmannia magnifica sprouts
by happypalms- 2 replies
- 94 views
A easy palm to germinate the magnifica taking around 3 months bottom heating 30 degrees Celsius coco coir perlite mix and growing them is just the same as any other water loving palm once a few leaves have been grown you can pretty well much water them daily in summer about the thing you have to worry about is breaking the roots when planting or repotting so my advice is grow them on benches so the roots don’t grow into the ground in containers or even better sit them in a tray of water these seeds where purchased from RPS so far its looking like a 75% strike rate not to bad considering there journey around the globe to get to Australia and a delay in customs Australia

Stilt Palm List Revisted 1 2
by Cindy Adair- 3 followers
- 45 replies
- 638 views
I figured I’d better begin with a photo before launching into a long prelude of text. Areca novohibernica, one of a group of 5 planted 2-3 years ago. Fast growers! After reading the replies from many of us beginning more than a decade ago I decided to start a new topic, but also provide a link to the earlier one that I did not initiate. Some lovely photos so don’t miss it. In that old topic I knew even less than I do now (it was 2012 and I still lived in Virginia) and I came up with a group of palms that under appropriate conditions might form stilt roots. I realize that botanists and/or PT readers can direct us as to whi…

Coccothrinax boschiana update
by aztropic- 2 replies
- 265 views
After 4 years of growth, some of my Coccothrinax boschiana are finally working on their first character leaf! Once they got past the blade of grass stage,they have been completely trouble free ever since. (original collection thread below) Growth is definitely slower than other species of Coccothrinax I grow, for my area. (their size hasn't scared off buyers that really want one though) Rare palms always seem to be in demand. 😄🤷♂️ aztropic Mesa, Arizona

just outside my friend's community in sylmar (san fernando valley) is an overgrown "oasis" that i recently started adding fruiting plants to along with some support species (ie nitrogen fixers). throughout the year there's a trickle of irrigation runoff that provides enough water for a dozen full grown willow trees, several large fan palms, an elm tree and other weedy species. in the past couple months i've planted more than a dozen fruiting size trees as well as numerous seedlings. so far the only palm i've planted is a small green butia odorata... in the same hole i also put a couple small seedlings... jackfruit and surinam cherry...…
