    Actually, Trachycarpus does have fine serrations on the petioles. Most don't notice them.

    Watering advice on transplanted TX Sabal

    SeanK replied to Joe in Zapata TX's topic in COLD HARDY PALMS
    I am more concerned that the palm is too small to recover. I would never attempt anything less than 6-ft of wood.

    I am trying a tall variety in Jacksonville, I was either thinking of Mexican tall or Panama tall, are they different in cold hardiness or not really?

    Husain replied to Maddox Gardening-youtube's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
    For me I noticed that Orange Panama is getting damaged easily with extreme heat 105 F and more compared to other verities

    The Tau Kiani Botanical Garden on Rapa Nui

    SeanK replied to Hu Palmeras's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
    I am surprised. I didn't know it had so many non-native palms there. I recall twenty years ago, there was a project to bring Jubaea chilensis out to the island.

    Is it a boy or a girl or both?

    Phoenikakias replied to Janni's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
    Because Rhapidophyllon, Chamaerops and Trachycarpus belong genetically to the same clade.

    Encephalartos sclavoi

    MoPalm replied to Tracy's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
    Thanks Dale. I think you are right. I see similarities with kisambo. Do you have one to show? I hope it is true Sclavoi as I read it’s more cold hardy than Kisambo. I am in East Bay of San Francisco and we usually see 30 degeer as low sometimes but not all time. Time will tell I guess.

    Lemurophoenix halleuxii

    Alessio posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
    Hi everyone, I’ve completely fallen in love with the Lemurophoenix halleuxii and I’m trying to find one. Does anyone know where I could buy either a young plant or some seeds? I’d much prefer to buy a live plant, even if it’s a very small seedling, but I’d also be happy with seeds if that’s the only option. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Let me introduce you to the Tau Kiani Botanical Garden on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), Chile. I think I’ll have to contribute some exotic palm trees; they have something interesting going on there on the island.

    Yeah, saw it with Wal's old place as well. And recently Paul's (Comic97) place which lasted a few years but now has had every single plant removed...

    Southern Hemisphere Winter 2026

    tim_brissy_13 replied to cbmnz's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATE
    1.3C this morning after 3C yesterday morning. Only very light frost on grass this morning. So far no noticeable damage or even spotting on any more tropical species which is a pretty good result as we approach August.

    I have bought quite a few palms from Let’s Grow Florida. I do NOT recommend them. The palms look beautiful when they arrive, but they ship them bare root and a number of them end up dying.

    I’d guess it’s the winters. Mine don’t get anything special, but we don’t have much of a winter.

    The Bismarck is actually my neighbor’s on the side. It’s super huge, and will be a huge problem in the future. I planted the Satakentias as broomsticks. ((Not to repost every post, but here’s the progression)

    I was pretty sure that I remembered you planting Princeps. Maybe mine are just runts, or maybe they gain speed once trunking, or maybe the limestone really helps! I haven't noticed any deficiencies in mine, just using generic fertilizer. It also could be that mine get burnt to the ground almost every single winter... 🤣

    HELP: Becarriopheonix Alfredii Dying?

    Merlyn replied to SCVpalmenthusiast's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
    If it's sludgy in the ground then it might not be draining. In FL sand that's never a problem. I'm not sure what to suggest, other than backing off the water volume to a regular smaller amount? I'd guess a fungicide that's good on root rot would help. Maybe Aliette or a similar aluminum tris type? It's a surface and systemic and good for Pythium and Phytophthora.
