I can only guess it’s parentage, I’m unsure. All I know is it is from Miami. That is soooo annoying that coconuts might have issues with self pollination. 😂 I’ll do anything to ensure it sets fruit tho like you said haha The yellow coconut is starting to show trunk which is exciting. I wonder if that trash can is big enough for it for life or if it needs more space. Eventually I’ll need a bigger place when I have kids and maybe I’ll bring it with me haha

Roystonia Oleracae are not as robust as Regia . They are a smaller palm with a more slender trunk. They can get big , mine is , but the fronds won’t cause near as much damage when they fall. A bit more cold sensitive than Regia. Harry

@Happypalm interesting doesn’t look like any of my regia!!

Yes , that was the assumption, the opening leaf confirmed! Harry

It just doesn’t look like any of my other royals most are enormous this one has short fronds that are spaced far apart!!

E tegulaneus

It may only be one seed on this dypsis species, but a great sign for better things to come, it will set seeds!

There like a chamaedorea on steroids, nice palms! Richard

I think we went with Arenga to start off with?

The soil originally came from an area near dog kennels (a puppy farmer) I was suspect at the start of receiving the soil by the smell of it. So gosh knows what kinda sour soil I got and what pathogens were in it. Having already had trouble in that part of the garden led me to think sour soil. Time will tell, I don’t think it’s Phytophera but whatever it is it’s not good!

Oleracea!

This monkey’s going to heaven 🤣

Yes , it looks like Roystonia , they do well out there if they get enough water. Harry

Dave, I have 60 3 year old Sabal miamiensis seedlings in bands on the side yard like the trashy elitist east coast trash that they are, waiting to get sold on ebay. I just have to list them first. Major catch-22. I have about 80 dypsis onilahensis seedlings in a community pot that probably should have been out of a community pot like a year ago....

Thanks for your interest 94Z! I have your padded envelope prepared and I'll have it in the mail on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks for reaching out.

Thanks Richard and Harry. I've placed it in my warm shadehouse so will see and hope she recovers. 🤞

Cycas debaoensis was pollinated with C tropophylla x C mitcholitzi to create this hybrid. I grew out several plants and chose a unique pair for breeding. Father has a nice plumose leaf and mother has a unique metallic green / blue leaf. Leaves can be undulated (ruffled) tripinnate (or sometimes bi-pinnate). These are 2026 1 leaf seedlings with a soild root system. Plants are ready to push a new leaf.

Nice experiment regardless Tracy.. It just adds to the collective knowledge. I tried crossing a male Chamaedorea woodsoniana with a female tepilijote last year, thinking it would be a slam dunk. Nature had other ideas, not one seed. Later on, I got him together with a woodsoniana girl next door and.. hundreds of seeds. I can live with that..

Some blueberries on the dreadlocks. Also my breakfast raspberry substitute fresh off the guava tree. Yellow.

50/50 on that one @Jonathan you could grow kiwi fruit, but as for coconuts. I think you should try at least just to show us your refrigerator grow skills!

Here’s the duo of both varieties, slow in my climate, water lovers and Iam surprised they have taken temperatures as low as 2 degrees celcius. Both varieties planted in the ground and rostrata seems to be wining the race in growing the best.

Clearly an AI image...a slice of kiwifruit on top of a coconut!

Great song, great album!

I didn't have any stormy weather at my house yesterday but it did start to rain around 4:30 and continued for at least 2 hours. It was light steady rain, the kind that really soaks in. The closest county rain gauge read 0.5". This is my 3rd summer here and the first that I'm getting rain, its really awesome.
