A few months ago I germinated a Phoenix dactylifera, the seed came from the first ever date I ate, it was a Medjool, they're surprisingly good. I'm currently waiting on the third strap leaf to appear. Hopefully I see split fronds this year.

Also, not exactly a new palm, but I salvaged a single healthy Chamaedorea elegens from a dead/dying clump I had (they seem to resent being outdoors). I imagine it'll take off now as it's in its own pot with no competition.

I've had them in pots for a while, but these went in the ground yesterday - so they're my newest palms in the ground. That reminds me! I need to check my seedling trays today!

Not pictured - two double chamaedorea plumosa

Dypsis onilahensis - 3 trunked plant and it looks like the trunk on the left is splitting also.

Dates are stupid good to eat.  However, most stores in my area only carry pitted dates which are dried out and tough, nowhere near as good as the ones with pits.

Here's my latest acquisition, a small 2 strap-leaf seeding of SABINARIA MAGNIFICA.  Can't wait till it gets one of those huge solid leafs split down the middle.  After I saw a pic of this palm in habitat, I had to get one!

Pretty much every plant I have is fairly new. I only moved in less than a year ago. Still the newest palm trees I have were planted at the start of this January. I was at Lowes looking through the gardening section when I noticed they had their indoor palms all marked way down. Their majesty palms were listed at $15 and their Adonidia's were listed at $10. They were a decent size so I assume they were either trying to get rid of them or they had them mislabeled. Either way I purchased 7 palm trees I didn't intend to that day. My car looked like a jungle on the way back:D. 

The two Ravenea rivularis are in the backyard. One is next to a Queen palm (about 6 1/2 feet apart). The other is all on its own along the south fence line.

The Adonidia's I packed in tight along the border of my neighbors property line to serve as a hedge. I may have to move them around if they get too big, and they probably won't survive many winters that get bellow freezing. For the price and clean healthy look though I couldn't pass these up. If they live for over a year or two their worth it.

Yes, the Adonidia dransfieldii is recently described, and quite a nice looking palm:  PALMS Article Describing Adonidia dransfieldii 

I admit I was keen to pick up a palm named after Dr. John Dransfield.  It is very tiny, very rare, and Jeff Marcus warned me to guard it carefully, as there are "no do-overs" to replace it if lost. :o:huh:

Sorry about the snow -- the things we do for employment and remuneration... but it supports our palm habits! B)

Looks more like R. Excelsa to me, however I am not expert on this genus.  That is just what it looks like to me.  Pal Mier probably can ID it better tho.

Here are my newest. 

 

1. Rhapidophyllum Hystrix 

2. Rhapis Excelsa 

3. Rhapis (Excelsa?) Jury is still out on exactly what it is. It does not look much like Excelsa to me.  Maybe cochinchinensis.  Not sure yet.

Thanks, I can't tell them apart.  I've never seen any Raphis for sale in my area and this one looked sweet, plus it's big.  Also, it's always nice to add palms that are bulletproof in my grow zone :)

Sitting in the greenhouse, ready to go, I have Sabal brazoria, Sabal minor, Sabal louisiana, and just today I ordered a 7 gallon Sabal birmingham. Can't wait to get them in the ground! I have a tray full of Sabal minor seedlings I germinated from seed I collected near Idabel, Oklahoma, growing slow as expected...lol

Having only recently gotten into palms, my collection is quite modest, and all of my palms are new. My favorites are my Chambeyornia hookeri, Dypsis decipiens, Dypsis lutescens, and Cyphophoenix elegans.

Just to prove what a hopeless addict I’ve become, I’ve gotten 4 more palm trees since my last post. Two of them are Chinese Fan Palms to balance out the Majesties, the other two are a Spindle and Triangle palm. All of them seemed to be severely pot bound, so I hope they grow fast in ground. 


Livistona chinensis

Hyophorbe verschaffeltii

Dypsis decaryi

TriPalm.thumb.JPG.9131e9846dee693138f73d
All of these were under $18 and came from that same Lowes I got the previous Adonidia's from. Seriously I don’t know where these trees keep coming from. I counted 15 different species as of the last visit. That store has a bigger palm collection than most of the nurseries around here.

You're so lucky, honest to God, my Lowes has a few queens, and a jillion roebeleniis.  And yes, they always have a few bottle palms, which are are slightly more likely to survive a winter here than a C. renda.
