T. ukhrulensis in.

After growing this on from a seedling about 12 years ago, I finally got it planted. Digging a 15 gallon hole and unearthing many rocks (one 35 lb) in near 100F heat, was a task this ole boy doesn't do much of anymore. Show your ukhrulensis if you have one.

Hi everyone, This is my first post here on palmtalk. My favorite palm is b. Alfredii. This is a report dedicated on how the B. Alfredii reacts to the cool climate of Northern Europe. I live in Rotterdam, Netherlands which is hardiness zone 8 in Europe. The average anual extreme minimum here is -10 Celsius (14 Fahrenheit) for the last 5 winters.

Would you consider Rhopalostylis "cold hardy"?
by EastOahuPalmNut- 1 reply
- 262 views
As far as I know, the Rhopalostylis species are the most extreme Latitude native palm trees: 43 South (are any Palms native near 43 North?? I don't think so)? But as you know, latitude doesn't equal temperature (as each 1000' of elevation makes a 3.5f/2c difference) I tried sprouting some Rhopalostylis in Honolulu (both sapida and baueri). Currently the baueri seem fine, and although the R.sapida seeds sprouted, they eventually died ( I guess they can't handle 28c) Is anyone successfully growing them in "cold" locations (where the overnight temperature goes below 0c)?

Nothing Is Free

Craigslist for FREE they said! After 2 days some sketchy moments, and about $800 costs, and a whole lot of luck. Managed to pull this off. One of the biggest trachy I’ve seen around here, just sheer mass. Had an electrical line directly underneath so it was hand dug, hand loaded and hand planted (planted alone!) Hell of a tree 20+ ft of trunk, and kicked my ass for two days. But it’s in. Oh and it’s a female, so could mother hybrids someday.

So we all know someone around here likes to post photos of their jungle garden at night - I’m looking at you @DAVEinMB! So I thought I would show you my multicolor display. Unfortunately the camera makes the spaces in between very black looking. To the eye the color extends and lights up all the foliage. Anyway here’s a few.

Trachycarpus and watering system (6b)
by ThePole- 2 replies
- 412 views
Hello everyone I am new here, this is my first post. My name is Maciej and I live in Central Poland, 6b hardiness zone. I really love palms. I have an areca palm indoors and one chamareops humilis outdoors potted. Here in Poland, despite the cold in winters (and recently heat waves in summers), quite many people grow palms outdoors. Mostly trachys, sometimes washingtonias and chamareops. Due to cold we have to use heating for wintering. Usually people use heating wires and white cloth. Some people even use graveyard candles (those that are ment to keep the heat for couple days). Anyway, I wanted to plant my first trachycarpus fortunei plus poten…

Cleaning up around the garden I noticed a bunch of seedlings at the base of my silver date palm. I did a Google search and the seed doesn't seem to match, almost looks like a trachy seed but I'm no expert. Thoughts?

Blooming Mule
by Manalto- 10 replies
- 457 views
I planted my 3 gallon mule (from Mule Palms of Mississippi) in July of 2018. Here is a shot, taken today, of what appear to be three inflorescences emerging from the trunk. (Is it correct to call the main stem a trunk?) My baby's all grown up! My understanding is that any seeds produced will are likely to be sterile, should I remove the inflorescences so the plant can direct its energy into growth? Your advice is welcome.

What is this issue with my Washy .
by WSimpson- 12 replies
- 503 views
It hasn't been below 16F in 3 years , since that 2018 terrible winter here . I lost 2 established Palmettos during that 2018 cold snap , but my protection kept this Washy healthy except for possibly the cracks you see . Are those cracks normal ? I don't think it was cold under my protection but maybe I had some colder spots ? Should I stuff anything inside those cracks like wood putty or something that would seal the cracks ? Thanks , Will I just read this article : https://gardenersyards.com/cracks-in-my-palm-tree-trunk/ I just found this . Zoom in and check out where I restricted that area of the trunk for the better part …

New palms to protect.

Hi I am in zone 7b, southeastern USA. I planted a Pindo, Sabal palmetto, European and 2 Saw palmetto in April. Not new at palms but looking for ideas on best way to protect them. The Sabal is a large trunking tree and will require something different than the smaller ones. I would like to avoid going too complicated like building cages out of PVC pipes and the likes. But this being said I will do whatever is needed. So what would you do? Throw blankets over during cold snaps? Wrap in x-mas lights? Heating cables? I put the Sabal where it is, to have access to the crown for protection. Thanks for your time Pat

So all of the Sabal seedlings I’ve seen just pop up one straight leaf, this one pictured first looked like another plant to me but has popped open a frond. Is there a Sabal that sprouts differently than others? the last pic is what it looked like a week ago

When to put Windmill Palm from 10” pot into ground
by Gaga Iowa/Arkansas- 1 follower

Hello! I moved here from Iowa and need all the help I can get with palms, which I love! My first one froze in the winter of 2021 after having it for a short 8 months. We live in Arkansas zone 7B. March of 2022 I bought a Windmill Palm in a 10” pot thru the mail. It has been doing amazingly well so far! It has sprouted several new fronds. My question is when do you suggest we put this baby in the ground? As you can see we do not have prime soil! It’s a lot of rock! She is still in her 10” pot she came in. Should we plant it this summer, fall or wait till next spring? And please give us any suggestions and guidance as far as planting and then ferti…

Sabal Brazoria
by GregVirginia7- 2 replies
- 337 views
I don’t know folks but this 8-years or so in-ground Brazoria has morphed into something new this season…it’s growth, compared to past years has been phenomenal…the frond (front) in the picture, is 4.5 feet wide and 3.5 feet high from the base of the costa to the segment tip. The newest open frond is the same if not a little bit bigger. It will remain the Trachy’s understory companion but it seems to be taking up a lot more of that vacant space. Discussed this before, but it seems once that trunk began to take shape, so did the top growth. I have a theory, being a Sabal, it spends several years of energy setting its underground trunk/tap root and at some …
