dalmatiansoap posted a topic in IPS GENERAL DISCUSSIONSSabal are rare palms here so there's nothing much to compare with. It's seed grown by myself and I germinated lot of various Sabals in past years, from all around the world. It's relatively fast palm here being in ground for last 4 years, probably 6-7 years from seed. Almost 3m length petiole + leave on older leaves. Any ideas what species it belongs to?

happypalms replied to Daryl's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI tried the Malay dwarf in a subtropical climate and no luck. Both burnt to a crisp in the cold weather.

happypalms replied to JohnAndSancho's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDENo dumb questions John, advice is free mistakes are costly. To reduce the hot soil temperature and the roots touching the container sides burn, try white containers or put the container inside another container that’s slightly bigger. This can help to reduce the burning roots.

happypalms replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEDifferent light gives different results, a nice chamaedorea klotzshciana certainly looks good in a bit of different lighting.

happypalms posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDETwo lovely ramsayi with a stack of seeds, I think they are about 35 years old.

happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI get viable seeds from my one, even volunteers. And this from just one single palm, both male and female flowers are on the same plant. So they will set viable seeds on their own.

cbmnz replied to cbmnz's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATEHad -0.9C on Thursday morning, just two hours below 0. Bananas just have slightest bronzing along leaf midrib on some leaves. A.Alexandrae left completely unprotected for first time looks slightly mottled on some leaves. It really does not like sub-zeros at all, despite getting knocked every winter it now is about 20cm at base of trunk (planted as a tiny grade in 2020) -
Manalto replied to Silas_Sancona's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsDo you happen to know the name of this cultivar, Tracy? The cutting I got in April from Hawaii has finally begun to leaf out. (Sorry for the out-of-focus photo; new phone whose focus feature eludes me.) The seller posted this photo: No cultivar name was mentioned. I’ve heard the white and yellow plumerias have the strongest fragrance. Hoping for a whiff of that intoxicating smell from mine anyway.

kinzyjr replied to buccaneers37's topic in COLD HARDY PALMSMy two Sabal miamiensis have been flowering and producing seeds for a few years now. They had no adverse reaction to this year's cold.

Manalto replied to Urban Rainforest's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsThis is one I’ve posted before, but it’s the first year the existing foliage survived the winter, and the most robust flush (8) to date. It’s a C. revoluta hybrid with bifurcated leaflets that I got from North Texas Cold Hardy a few years ago. (Unfortunately, I’ve forgotten the identity of the other parent.) It’s finally starting to look like something!
-
kinzyjr replied to SubTropicRay's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATEThat's a good question. It certainly has persisted longer than I would have expected. That said, at least I've seen some form of precipitation each of the last 3 days. There's room for more, though.

Jim in Los Altos replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDERoss, I’ve never been able to get seeds to sprout from this palm and have never seen any volunteers. Seems the seeds are sterile. Virtually every other palm in my garden that fruits also produces seedlings here and there. -

thyerr01 replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE@Jim in Los Altos Do these set viable seed for you? This is one of the species I most want to try in Houston, but haven't had any luck with RPS seed. -
Tracy replied to Urban Rainforest's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsSide by side, one of my Encephalartos ituriensis which is not hardening it's flush while the Encephalartos whitelockii x sclavoi is still pushing it's soft flush. The wall is 6' high from the base.

aztropic replied to JohnAndSancho's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEFull sun is really too much sun for a lot of plants in the southern climes. Most plants at the massive Florida producers are grown under shade cloth. As for the hot pot issue, you have to physically block the sun from directly striking the sides of the pots. In nurseries, this is accomplished as each pot in a group protects the one behind it. The very front exposed pots can be painted white, can have other empty pots or boards put in front of them, or can be dropped into 1 size larger empty pots to insulate the valuable plants roots from overheating. Direct sun on a black pot without any protection can most definitely cook the roots and kill the plant. aztropic Mesa, Arizona
