Here are a few of my palms nothing to spectacular yet since they are all still young palms, expect for the trachys LOL.

Green trunk butia growing into an interesting palm. Schefflera growing next to it, which is in bloom right now.

Jub x Butia

Trachycarpus wagnerianus growing in mostly shade from trachy forest.

DSC00250_zpslsbdyd0a.jpg

Chamaerops humilis var. cerifera, this variety is way hardier than the green Ch. humilis.

Oldest trachy in my garden, planted as one gallon in 1995.

In the evenings the party lights come on and we rock out to music and enjoy the backyard.

Chamaedorea cataractarum is looking so bad inside the house that I decided to plant in the ground and see what happens. 

DSC00043_zpskeqcnubn.jpg

Planted on the southeast side of the house.

Baby Butia x Jubaea.

DSC00015_zps1edybx5v.jpg

Here is chamaedorea radicalis trunking, I also have a lot of regular radicalis but didn’t take any pics. Sorry. 

DSC00068_zpslecd1zo3.jpg

Another butia in the new palm forest. All the palms in this little spot are about the same age so their pretty close in size right now. 

DSC00040_zpsevpc2yjc.jpg

DSC00041_zpsuu8couuc.jpg

Cycad hybrid this one is very hardy. 

DSC00050_zps7c3nptad.jpg

Some more of the green trunk butia.

hybrid palm Butia x Queen.

DSC00025_zpsvtmqjiuy.jpg

DSC00029_zps86onjraj.jpg

DSC00027_zpsjdn9qsri.jpg

This poor butia blue leaf has spear pull this spring so it still recovering.

DSC00034_zpskcvtpqd9.jpg

Doing better than I thought it would is Sabal bermudana.

DSC00038_zpskhfdtt8p.jpg

Trachys doing their thing protecting less than hardy plants below. The other smaller palm leaves are Nova I think?

DSC00088_zpsjkslqqt8.jpg

Close up of what I think is Nova but not sure, it less hardy than fortunei and has really long stems, so whatever that one is this is it. LOL!

DSC00089_zpsjlwq1rs7.jpg

Days are getting shorter and the garden is going into more shade. 

DSC00075_zpsppymngb7.jpg

Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoy the palm tour.

What is the name of your Cycas Hybrid?   

Cycas taitungensis x guizhouensis not easy to find in plant nursery trade but worth searching for one. Sometimes Plant Delight has them.

Jim in my climate only once a year, but last years record heat produced two flushes. In more Southern States like yours it would flush two-three times a year.  I don’t think it need full sun either.  I haven’t try to many cycads but maybe I will someday, lol!

It is a pachypodium species, not sure which one. There all pretty easy to grow. You should try one.

Have you tried Washingtonia before? 

A couple of time, They live for a few years and then when a bad winter hits they die.  I’ve given up on that one.

Was it robusta or filifera? Because in your area I would think a filifera would do well.

It was Robusta.

 Filifera wouldn’t have a chance in my very wet winters here. It would rot, robusta can tolerate more rain.
