When looking for some other photos recently I was stunned to see some old pix of my front yard...I was MORE stunned to see the photos were only 13 months ago!!

I liked a few recent threads here showing the "pre-winter look see", so I am doing more or less the same thing but showing before and after if possible. When smaller shots will provide names too.

First, front yard after last years mulch/planting frenzy.

Taken OCT 2008.

Patience please, the back and forth will take some searching.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I originally got this a couple years ago from Jerry Andersen, but Dan and Jerry didn't agree what it was, it just looked different. I called it "Dans Dypsis". I have since decided I think its Ravenea krociana.

This palm looked like it was on deaths door at the end of last winter. I hope its not an annual thing.

Ummm. stay tuned on this one. I may have made a big mistake, but hopefully not pay for it.

Well, I thought this palm was a goner, it may still be. A day after I trimmed that lower frond, I remembered the palm seemed to have a lean at the top. I looked closer, as I went around the base of the palm, I saw what looked like and old gopher mound, but I could find anything below. I tried to dig around, but found the ground dry. Really dry, like rock hard dry. The top of the frond could be rocked back and forth fairly easily. I wondered if it dried out, so 3 days ago I soaked the crap out of it. I then came home from work and did it again. Each day the top seems more solid, but still has a lean. It was like it "shriveled" from lack of water. I have been paranoid of rotting this out since I did that to a potted one 3 years ago. PLUS, this was an early planting, too low, heavy clay but lots of rocks. I think this summer it may have grown fast or big enough to need a bigger dripper.

I'll keep you updated, in this thread, or I'll start another.

Today the spear has stopped growing, but the base has got more rock solid, by a lot. I'm hoping that means its laying down a mean root system!

Sadly, here is a causuality since then. :cry: A Dypsis lastelliana from Oct 2008 that I have decided I over watered over the winter.

post-27-1258959328_thumb.jpg

But in its place/box I put a Dypsis St.lucei and then a Dypsis pinnatifrons next to it.

BS man your palms look good and a few more yrs you will have a jungle. I found when palms stop growing fronds but get thicker in the trunk they normally start growing new fronds eventually.

I've noticed that most of these palms will keep their older leaves without deteriorating, the new leaves just look better. :)

Here is what I planted as Ravenea monompona. This palm had sunk over halfway down in a 5 gal pot. It was screaming for some soil!

Then an Orania, but I think its a longisquama, not ravaka like the tag said. Maybe we'll consider this the spirit of the one that died that I brought home via the "palmscraper" last year. :crying:

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

This is a Basselinia eurostachys (sp) from Floribunda. I noticed something weird on the leaves that you can just make out. The "middle and end leaflets on each frond are twice the size of the other leaflets. I would have thought it was just a fluke, but the last 3 or 4 fronds have done the same thing.
