Eric in Orlando replied to SubTropicRay's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATEMy feeling it is,I hope I'm wrong. Theres no more than 20-30% chance or rain for here the next 7 days and mid 90s. I think thats the pattern unless some tropical systems poke around. Its been a bust here for the normal, non-tropical system storms forming. June and July were ridiculous dry at my house and August only got rainy because of that tropical moisture that came in from the Bahamas. If this continues into next summer I will be doing major relandscaping next summer. -
Eric in Orlando replied to palmsOrl's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDESome observations from around Orlando; Lots of Foxtails growing back, quite a few took awhile . But a majority of thinner younger specimens that were planted just 1-2 years ago perished I've noticed more Bottle Palms recovering than Spindles I'm shocked at how many Coconuts are recovering, in the past they have been killed at higher temps Most Adonidia have perished (not surprising) but I see some that are growing back Most Arecas had tall stems killed but I see some sprouting back, but suckers regrowing good I haven't seen any Ptychosperma elegans growing back but for some reason they weren't widely planted around like Adonidia Royals are growing back great, only deaths I have seen were young juvenile specimens less than 6-7ft I'm going to be at the Landscape Show next week at the convention center on I-Drive. Curious to see how the tropical palms down there fared; big Royals at hotel by Sea World, big Royals at convention center entrance, all the Bottles and Adonidia planted by the CC, the big Coconut at that one restaurant. I can see a couple Coconuts at Volcano Bay from I-4 growing back.

Merlyn replied to Phoenikakias's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE@Phoenikakias here is my Alba today: And this is when I planted it in July 2024: Clearly it's bigger now, and took zero damage at 22.5F (-5.3C) in February. But for sure it's been slow. Part of this is because the bamboo behind it (Gigantochloa Luteostriata) shades it until around 2PM.

Scott W replied to SeaLaVie's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDETriple hybrid. They say it was developed for better edible shoot production. I haven't tried it yet. It does have beautiful coloring for a few years before it fades. Dendrocalamus validus...one of my favorites. 5 inch culms and nearly 50 feet tall!!!

Silas_Sancona replied to Silas_Sancona's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATEMore confidence for a tropical threat within the Hawaiian Islands later this week.. FYI: " Tropical Threat " doesn't = big, cat 4 or 5 " Hurricane of Doom " soon.. Could mean impactful wind / heavy rain / surf concerns however.. Need to see how this disturbance develops over the next 24 -36 hours or so before we'll have a better idea on exactly how significant it's impacts could be._X.png.0572d3f892a04c3b14774037ee774760.png)

Billy Bones replied to SoulofthePlace's topic in Palm Grower/Buyer RatingsI bought the pictured Pseudophoenix sargentii from them about a month and half ago. As mentioned, they do ship bare root. The palm came healthy and so far it’s doing well. I’d buy from them again.

vlc replied to vlc's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDENone of them have spines on petioles. Are all Sabal Palmetto, or can they be Sabal Minor, or other? -
SeanK replied to vlc's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEDo any have spines on the petioles? If not, I agree they're all Sabals. -
Johnny Palmseed replied to SubTropicRay's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThat’s purely a judgment call. I see your other post and I’m not optimistic about the outcome but only you (or your HOA) can decide. I took out my coconuts pretty soon after because they were recently planted. I knew that it would be several years before they recovered, if at all. I decided to just move on as soon as possible. I had 3 and 1 was clearly dead. 1 was probably going to make it and the 3rd was 50:50. Of course, the one that was dead was not in the middle so the bed would have looked lopsided. I pulled them all and replanted the bed with a mango and ground accents before it got too hot. I think it was @kinzyjr who posted about the frustration of palms that seem to hang on for months only to collapse later. Sometimes they are already dead but don’t show it.

happypalms posted a topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsA nice young chrysophyllum imperiale, even as a young tree they are stunning. I will find a place for it somewhere in garden, that has plenty of space for this large tree!
