I would like to see the poster's location on my phone and tablet without going into the profile. Location is visible on a desktop with the post.

Thanks, JLM, that’s good info. I see you are in Pace outside of Pensacola. Several years ago, really like more than a decade ago, a guy on this forum sent me seeds from Canary Island Day Palms h said we’re growing around the courthouse in Pensacola. He said the trees were probably about 100 years old. The seeds all sprouted beautifully, but I could not get long-term survival for CIPD here in Dallas, TX. When I visited Mobile and the Gulf Coast last year to see the SS United States, we drove over to Pensacola, but I did not see any CIPD around the courthouse. Did those trees just live out their years or did they freeze?

My second order this season from Floribunda arrived this afternoon and all are new trials for me. They all are BIG in their respective containers as is usual from this excellent vender. Pritchardia aylmer-robinsonii Chamaedorea arenbergiana Chrysalidocarpus ‘Baby Red Stems’ Pinanga ‘Maroon Crown Shaft’ Anyone with personal experience with any of these, please comment.

I will check out the Xeric Demo Garden when I get time. I have been down to that library a couple of times. Another thought I had was to use small gravel instead of mulch, I had a couple of my coworkers recommend it to me to help prevent the top soil from eroding. Also saw some posts on here from 2021 of some of you guys saying to use it since it drains well and protects the top layer. Almost like pebbles, I did the same thing on my yuccas and they all grew huge but wonder if a palm is much the same.

Would you like to know where to send your check?

Sometimes I’ve found the “Reply” doesn’t indicate that it sent. This is usually because the phone (or computer) had an issue with your connection to the internet. It will send most times, but may not indicate it has. I get requests to delete duplicate sendings often. But bottom line, this is not something I have any control over.

Well phoenix looks like a great place for Chambeyronias to me, nice palm!

Not sure Matt, but I think I remember a setting in your profile for that. Or maybe it’s the Global setting I’m thinking of. But check your profile, and keep in mind that it may be different after this upgrade. So, remind me if you can’t figure it out.

Sorry Meg - can’t answer you. I would need more info. What happens when you try? Any error message? After you click “Save” what exactly happens? You are clicking “Save” - right??? At any rate, there have been the occasional User with a glitch like this - usually with old time Users. Don’t know why - corrupt database error or something. If you have trouble logging in to new site, submit a Support Ticket, or get hold or me somehow and I will help you out. Or - if you read this in time, send me your email and password via PM and I can edit them into your account manually when the new system is up.

Yellow Poinciana starting after looking like a stick tree:

Cassia fistula has had an underwhelming year. It did not lose its leaves:

Chamaedorea elaitor

Lagerstroemia speciosa or Queen's Crepe Myrtle:

Some of my Encephalartos growing in the front are pushing flushes, finally catching up with the rest of you in Southern California.

Moving towards heavy:

Pseudophoenix vinifera at Mounts:

C saintelucei fresh trunk caught an eye.

Thanks for all your hard work on this, mods! Maybe it's just me, but the "Go to first unread post" link of a topic takes me to posts I've already seen of the topic. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it would be amazing if that worked well.

Newest leaf on my very, very slow growing Caryota. It was sold as C. ochlandra from a SoCal grower (though not Phil at JM), but I have my doubts. Will have to wait a few more years to see what develops.

Will take one Jubutia.

Just 'discovered' my Buta yatay has two blooms developing. They look better than last year's attempt!

Simply spectacular. Plus new orange paint on the shovel. Ryan

Loving mine in Phoenix have some color because it’s cool!!!
