   I have not been on the forums in a while, and I was wondering if reputation is a thing of the past? I cant seem to see where to give reputation anymore. Has that been replaced with likes / hearts? Thanks!

   How does one progress in the forum? Is it knowledge based or post based? Does status increase with responses, pictures, or posts? Is it activity based? Whatever it is, it is truly a blast and I love every minute on palm talk. It is informative and entrancing as well as entertaining. Take care every one and happy gardening. Daniel

   Hello: We live in Southwest Florida and have African Tulip trees. We had some limbs that needed to be trimmed but the tree guy topped off all the African tulip trees leaving bare trunks. Is it best just to remove the trees now? Will they ever bloom again? Will the offshoots survive strong winds?

   Sago crown damaged

   I wanted my husband to clean up the seed pods on a female sago. I showed him the seeds and "fuzzy" parts to remove and went to the backyard to do weeding. He misunderstood and removed the crown (see photos). I'm assuming it will die?

   Leaf Issues on Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus Fortunei)

   April 25, 2020 by russd58

   Hi, I am hoping to get some help diagnosing some issues with our Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus Fortunei). We have had it one year, size 45 gallons and we live in Austin, Tx. It gets direct sun until late evening. I understand now that these do better with some shade, but too late now. I fertilized it for the first time recently with a 12-4-12, being careful not to over apply. Issues are (1) brown tips and (2) brown areas on some of the leaves at the bottom of the leaflets where they attach to the stem. Pics are attached. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!! Russ

    Since the new updates to PT, I have not been able to see who is upvoting my postings. Is there something I need to turn on or something else. Any help would be appreciated. I do get notifications but that's it. Thank you.

    Just planted a sago palm. We live in zones 8-11. However the soil is kind of muddy like...not wet but clumped up in a way because there was nothing planted there for a long time and the sprinkler were apparently turning on. So I planted the sago palm there about 10 days ago. I did add cactus soil. First mistake I made was I watered the foliage. Apparently, that is a no no.. Bought a soil moisture and ph meter. It is most/wet all the time and ph is very alkaline. Next thing I did was I added peat moss. It has been about 5 days since I added peat moss. The foliage, to me atleast, is still yellowing.... Any advise?n Should I take it back out and put it in a pot and try to re…

    Hi ! My registration finally got accepted yesterday (after two weeks of waiting...), so i'm really excited to take part to this forum. I'm a 23 years old ecology/botanics student from Reunion Island, which is a french Island located just south of Mauritius and east of Madagascar.

The climate is type "Af" on the east coast, "Am" and "As" on the notrh coast, all variations to "BSh" on the west and south coast. It's an "Cfb" climate on top of the mountains, with snow sometimes... I live in the "BSh" part of the island, which is gre…
