Ritesh Sengupta replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThat kind of contrast between the metallic-looking foliage and matte black fruit is rare enough that it's probably going to be a hunt to actually find one for sale rather than just search-and-buy. Worth keeping an eye on specialty houseplant sellers and swap groups too, since stuff with unusual variegation like that tends to move fast once it shows up. -
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. - Today

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.

vlc replied to vlc's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEYes, but how about the others? Or are all of them sabal? Thanks.

wimmie replied to happypalms's topic in PALMS IN POTSBeautiful, Richard, especially that variegated one's! -
wimmie replied to wimmie's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsA little bit late, but here are a few photo's of my new Cycads!

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!

gyuseppe replied to SeanK's topic in PALMS IN POTSThey germinate easily, there is no need to put them in the freezer

happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEWould be a good one for a balcony garden, and you could bring them indoors in winter, if you’re going to get some while you’re at it try chamaedorea metallica just as stunning. In fact most of the smaller chamaedorea varieties are all stunning little palms. Once the chamaedorea bug gets you you will be hooked. Pm for seeds Chamaedorea genoformis Genoformis chamaedorea adscendens Chamaedorea elegans chamaedorea metallicaMetallica

happypalms replied to Larry Martin's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEGreetings pictures would help. But if they have just been transplanted into the ground from what you’re saying. There would be stress involved gor them and a few leaves going yellow on the bottom leaves one would expect that to happen. Water with seaweed extract each watering for now. When you see some good growth happening then you can start to apply some fertiliser. Let the settle into there new home before you really start to push them with fertiliser. The heavy clay soil will gor a time act as large container until they tuck in and get there roots established, and with the amount of nutrients locked up in clay a large palm should be able to get into those nutrients once established.

happypalms posted a topic in PALMS IN POTSThe hainensis and the quezalteca are looking alright for this winter. The hainensis are bullet proof as seedlings, one tough palm that’s easy going. And the Chams will get planted as group planting for future seed production.
-
happypalms replied to SeanK's topic in PALMS IN POTSYou could do an experiment, seeing as you have an unlimited supply of seeds. Put some in the freezer and some in whatever method you would use for germination of palm seeds. This way you can set the record straight for the palm community having done a home science experiment. Nothing to lose and everything to gain!

happypalms posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThere seems to be some confusion as to what this palm is, @tim_brissy_13 @Jim in Los Altos As far as I know this sarawakensis, it does take cool temperatures down to 2 degrees celcius, both in containers and in the ground under cool wet conditions. So what is the true origin of this beautiful palm?

tim_brissy_13 replied to jdapalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEHave heard about some of the cold you’ve had over your side of the ditch Richard. Hope everything holds up alright until you get back! -
happypalms replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDERavenea hilldebrandtii and a nice young Chrysalidocarpus mananjarenesis. This couple should be a great addition for the garden in couple of weeks time!
-
happypalms posted a topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsThe ever so beautiful piper magnificum with large green leaves and purple undersides of the leaf. If you were to think it’s a tropical that needs constant heat and humidity and never see cool temperatures. Think again about this one it’s taken low temperatures down to 2 degrees celcius and hot dry summer temperatures (not desert dry) but it’s certainly surprised me. So far so good for this top tropical in subtropical climate. So if your garden doesn’t get frost track this beauty down and get yourself one. Another zone push winner!

richnorm replied to jdapalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThe only way I managed to keep two alive was to plant them out at second leaf stage or thereabouts. We just had a horrible run of low temperatures so I am a little concerned at what I will find when I get back to NZ!
