Urban Rainforest replied to Urban Rainforest's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsThis is one of the big green Encephalartos you dont see everyday. Instead of flushing with a white fuzz it flushes brown and looks more like animal fur. E. Sp. Bunia

Urban Rainforest replied to Urban Rainforest's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsThe flushes are still going strong and here are just a few. E. Laurentianus throwing a 3 leafer. Not a great pic as it is buried in a jungle of other Laurentianus.

sonoranfans replied to ahosey01's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI miss that color from my yard, they are spectacular palms. If you want to kill the others I'd use water to push dirt away directly under the bud and snip the main taproot with a pruner. That palm will ultimately tower over everything, they throw a bunch of shade. I just underestimated how big the Beccariophoenix and the borassus would get being close to each other. 9' from the house is insane for a palm that is that large. It will ne3ed to be trimmed for years. The leaves are heavy with super thick petioles, almost double the thickness of my S. Causiarum's petioles. I now have a small satakentia in that spot, but if only I'd given it 5 more feet from my house it would still be there. I look forward to the progress you get in coming years. It will first go palmate, then after a couple years the fans will get large. After that it will trunk and the petioles will get super thick and longer as the trunk swells to a stunning thickness (with leaf bases on). The 12 foot across leaves, make Bismarckia leaves look average. One think I was struck by is the sharpness of the thorns combined with the weight of a leaf can get you cut -not stabbed- cut like a saw in a hurry. A falling leaf could be very hazardous. Royal leaves are 10-15 lb heavier in the crownshaft but they thump they don't cut. Drag the leaves by the leaflet tips when handling to prevent injury. -
Palmerr replied to Palmerr's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEIf you look really close at the palms with the sign you can see they actually have some sabal minor and palmetto rare types! I have never seen a variegated Palmetto In person I thought that was so cool! They also had sabal Brazoria and for example things like blountstown dwarf minor. Again what I loved about Leu gardens is how they take advantage of the live oaks to use as a microclimate to grow palms I thought couldn’t grow in this zone! When you get out of the city areas where they only plant date palms palmettos and queens rarely in the town, seeing how many palms can actually grow in Orlando is crazy. (I thought only sugar palms and other things besides the regular would do well there. Also chamaedora or whatever. Could also tell some things did get damaged in winter I know this winter in Orlando was hard. But everything seemed to pull through!

Harry’s Palms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI don’t see a specialty nursery as a good source of income . The ones I’ve seen around here have all gone . As a hobby they can be rewarding . As they say …don’t quit your day job! If you spend enough time , I guess it could be a supplement if you were able to maintain your inventory , but the economics are challenging. Harry -

happypalms replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI got about 30 nice seedlings just germinated this season, so a few more floating around the nursery.

happypalms posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEOk we mostly have had a pet or two in our lives. And these special little creatures are the love of our lives. They ask for nothing in return, with souls that reach into our hearts beyond the furthest reaches in our mind. The love they offer is like no other. So what’s your favourite palm and pet picture!Sari the Calyptrogyne ghiesbreghtiana!

happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEPut a bar in there for a pit stop with all the top shelf goodies. That’s the plan spring, you gotta see how many new seedlings I have to pot up, I couldn’t do them in winter. Made that mistake before and lost to many.
