   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. It's a tropical volcanic island sometimes called "the Hawaii of France" because of the climate and volcanism similarities. 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…

    Phoenix canariensis with Yellow leaves

    September 17, 2016 by Fabione

    • 1 reply
    • 3k views

    Hello, I would like to understand why the intermediate leaves of my Phoenix canariensis are becoming yellow. I have it for 4 years in my garden 3 km from Ligurian Sea in the Mediterranean and I treat it monthly with specific products against rincoforus like Runner and Nuprid directly in the ground and on the core. Could the reason be some virus or micro fungus or even lack of chimicals in the ground ? Thank you in advance Fabio
