Bizzie progress!

[BS Man about Palms]

Here is my Home Depot Bismarkia I put in the ground LAST spring. I just opened its first fan!   When I came home to find it last week, I was looking at it during dusk and I could HEAR it opening up!  WAY COOL! The first time I could HEAR growth!

The "blades" are now getting a "pink" tint to them, not sure what color it will stop at.

Bill

OKay- who can take an email of some pics and make them fit?  I got them down to just slightly too big. help?

[Walter John]

What size in bytes are we talking here ?

[BS Man about Palms]

site allows 102,000 , I got down to 108,000 from 459,000.

(with my simple email reduction program, this works on most of my pics)

I had some offers to resize and post for me, I have sent the originals to Dean, he should post soon.

[BobbyinNY]

E-mail me the pics and I'll shrink them for you.

[Kris]

Dear friends quickly find a solution to resize those images and

kindly upload those photos as soon as possible !

Since iam very crazy about 'Biz' and i have germinated one from seeds.so i cant wait to see that buety.

And i hope it is also a silver form as i have.

one man one tree..

Love,

Kris (from S.India).

Hey BS,

I bought one right before the summer (10 gal for $91) and planted it at the beginning of summer.  The bizzie is very fast.  It has 4 new fronds since.  Thank goodness that I read all the comments on this forum before planting it (big hole in ground mixed with perlites, full sum all day, moderate watering).

Here are Bill's pics"

My observations My two cents

[BS Man about Palms]

Dean!  Thanks for the posting!!!

Wal!  Thats actually the street, and it gets better....I didn't know as much a year ago, so, its mostly in clay AND there are power lines above!   Not to mention the guy wires for support.  Not long after I planted I got the great idea to see about putting underground wires at somepoint. only my house, another and a streetlight are past the pole.  

But I like how it looks!

I'd move it now while I had the chance and season on my side. Dig a humungous clod with the palm so it won't be disturbed............. like I am

[Kris]

Thank you BS Man for shooting it and i also thank Dypsis Dean

for getting those Biz ready for the catwalk !  

But i have a doubt with biz colour,is it the green form of bismarkia nobilis since mine is not so big but my palm spears are purple in color moving towards white color spectrum..

Bs Man kindly clarify ?

I love you pals & if other members have more pictures of Biz in silver form kindly share with us.

I guess it must be right after 12 noon (Thursday) in India now. Here in Hawaii it's a few minutes after 9 p.m. (21:00) Wednesday evening, so we're 15 hours behind you. Glad you liked the photo. These are great palms!

Kris-

Its hard to notice in the pics, but there are bits of silver, red and purple all over the palm.   The new frond is even getting a pink tinge to it in spots, with the color changing almost daily!

From what I understand, the green ones are just green.  I do live near the coast, and that may be preventing some of the brightness...?

Bill

Wal- Nope, its staying right where it is, my record is very poor with transplants!!!  (Just pulled out a dead kentia transplanted 6-7 months ago)

[Kris]

Dear Wal the Picture Is Cool and i love cycas too, you have terrefic taste for all the good things of life ! i.e  i see zamia furcerecea near your biz. and convey my regards to your son,he looks like tom hanks and seems to me he is meditating inside tropical heavens ,making research in vedantha to attain maha peri nirvana which may indians are trying in the lower himalayan mountain ranges of badhari,rashikash & gurushala..

Love all photos on Biz and you guys have reatteriated that iam not alone in palmMania,which is making us all go gaga !

And from your slogan we understand how much love you have for plants.

I feel that earth is still in safe hands like you,their is a saying one who loves music,one who loves plants,one who loves animals & Art in certainly Sane.(Indian Proverb).

Thank you,Thank you...

Love you all who are out there !

Kris.

I saw a green one at the Leu Gardens which I fell in love with. I believe there was something to it that almost made up for the fact that it was just green. It was far more robust and HUGE than the silver forms at the same place.

I have a silver form on the ground and it's starting to go palmate, on its 10th leaf I believe. I germinated it last year. Its sister is still in a pot but the first couple of leaves are curly and I noticed yesterday the last leaves are turning a fatigue green color rather than purple/blue (is growing in afternoon shade too). Is it possible I have a green form? How to distinguish between the two as small seedlings?

[Exotic Life]

Wow, Nice palms !!

Kris,

Here's another for you.

WOW! SPECTACULAR!  Both of your palms are awsome!

Hey Wal, is that a firewheel tree right next to your bizzie?

[ViveroLaVida]

Here is my biggest bismark 5 years from seed, love these palms. Also have another 400 siblings in 12 gallon bags

[ViveroLaVida]

Here are his siblings same age.

[Kris]

hi viverola,

those pictures are nice,but would have been better if it was slightly bigger in size.

this is fentastic that all members having biz have quickly reacted to this post. i love that attitude.

and guys please mention your biz age and wheather the picture is current or old.

you guys have made my adrilene pump like hell ! my heart is currently running with Nox and not blood,due to your pictures.and i know how proud you are of our bueties.it looks like a peacock dancing to attract its Mate.

And i have no words but my love for my biz has increased in leaps & bounds after looking at your well maintained palms.

Thank you Viverola...

one man one tree.

[paulgila]

lets try this again...no angela this time.

[Walter John]

convey my regards to your son,he looks like tom hanks and seems to me he is meditating inside tropical heavens ,making research in vedantha to attain maha peri nirvana.

Exactly, how did you guess ?

Hey Wal, is that a firewheel tree right next to your bizzie?

Not fair, who are you and where are you ? and yes it is a firewheel tree, come on fess up.

Here's a better shot

[bgl]

Here's another Bismarckia shot, and there are actually a total of five in this photo, but one (more or less in the middle) is partly hidden.

[bgl]

Forgot to add the photo.... Here it is!

[Scott]

Wal,

Is that a Zamia?

[Kris]

BGL i love you man,the post 34 with all the Biz and a queen sago if iam not mistaken has bowled me over once again...

Note : visiting this forum has become a holy ritual of some kind.

like visiting rishi kesh,badhari or kasi.

this forum & its estemed members are hot and their love for palms is awe inspiring !

thank you, thank you...

one man one tree

Kris.

[bgl]

Kris,

Thank you, and the cycad is actually an Encephalartos. I have been informed by Anders Lindstrom (cycad expert at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden in Thailand) that it is an E. paucidentatus.

Bo

[Fred Zone 10A]

I have been informed by Anders Lindstrom (cycad expert at Nong Nooch Tropical Garden in Thailand) that it is an E. paucidentatus.

One way to confirm is if it (a) has few spines (teeth, ergo "paucidentatus") along the edges of the leaflets and ( there are mulitple little ridges running the length of the underside of the leaflets.

[MattyB]

Oh shnap! I better move my garage. :laugh:

[Dypsisdean]

Matt,

Wasn't your line to the honey when she was questioning the size of a green Bizzie something like.

"No babe, don't worry, we have the silver variety. They're only half that big."
