Harry’s Palms replied to Rhonda's topic in COLD HARDY PALMSYes , pictures are needed for a true evaluation. So many factors to consider especially if they are field grown palms . Sabal can take quite a while if they came out of the ground and moved. Harry -

Jonathan replied to Tyrone's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEHey Tyrone, nice find! I've got a couple of Bangalows from seed that I collected at Peases Lookout, at about 900m, not far from Mt Dalrymple. Still just young plants in pots, so don't know whether they'll have much colour or not yet, but I do recall the mature palms in the area looked quite distinct from their southern cousins, which is why I grabbed a few seeds. I don't remember seeing anything like the ones you posted though...wild! Hopefully you found a few seeds? -
gyuseppe replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDERichard, no possible to grow genoma here, but I can grow many other species including your beloved chamaedorea, and even your favorites: Phoenix !, if you change your mind about phoenix, I can always try sending you my phoenix rupicola seeds when they mature. -
Tyrone replied to Tyrone's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI was out that way Jayce. That’s where these pics came from. I wasn’t expecting to see the purple crown shafts I was just looking to see if we could find any bangalows and we found these purple ones quite unlike any Bangalow I’d seen before. -
happypalms replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEA pretty good germination rate on the ceroxylon parvifrons, good old RPS hey!

Palms1984 replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEIt’s a beautiful palm! I’ve never seen one (in person) grown outside in Southern California. I think it requires way too humidity to look good outside here. Although, with this being said I’ve seen pictures of some in Southern California, I think it would need shade under trees for humidity during the dry Santa Ana season (late September through April). -
happypalms replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDENormanbya Normanbyi so close to resembling wodyetia as a seedling only thinner looking!

Jayce replied to Tyrone's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThat is correct. Silver/Grey abaxial with ramenta. -
Palms1984 replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE😂 You may have read comments or stories of people in Southern California that live in ares where they get very strong, extremely dry Santa Ana winds. Even when palms practically sitting in water will desiccate and die. I’m not kidding when I say the humidity can go to less than 5 percent with extremely high temperatures. It’s really awful for the plants and people, also.

happypalms posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEFour new Calyptrocalyx in the collection that are cool tolerant, with so many calyptrocalyx varieties in cultivation, it’s no wonder they are such a beautiful palm. In the past I have killed a lot of Calyptrocalyx trying to find what will live in the cool of winter. I finally found some nice varieties that are great ornamental palms for the collecter. Taking low temperatures down to 2 degrees celcius, you can’t go wrong with this lot in the collection. You just don’t know until you try, they have lived in containers far and the yummutumune is planted in the ground with this being its first winter.

Phoenikakias replied to Tyrone's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEA bit off topic, does the backside of the leaves of A purpurea combine ramenta with whitish wax? -
Jayce replied to Tyrone's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEHey Tyrone. I've seen mention that A. Cunninghamiana growing in the Eungella national park display the purple crownshaft quite like A. Purpurea. Are you out that way perhaps?

happypalms posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI will say this Geonomas are really starting to impress me in the cool tolerance range. Quite rare palms in this part of the world, but after getting my hands on a few different varieties they are proving to be very cool tolerant, not to bad for palms that are prized ornamentals. Cool tolerance is one thing they need to be to survive in my winter and grow well. Another issue is water they drink like a drowning fish. So if they are to live in the ground it’s going to have to be some pretty good soil amendment landscaping duties. And these are tube stock seedlings not advanced palms, so iam impressed with how well they take 2 degrees celcius Geonoma pycnostachys Geonoma look longivaginata sub sp vallensGeonoma atrovirens Geonoma bondaria

happypalms replied to Jim in Los Altos's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDENot to bad at all, I like it! I’ve had Cham plumosa volunteers in all sorts of places in between rocks where you cannot possibly dig, and they are loving life, let em be if there keen on living.

quaman58 replied to DoomsDave's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI remember Cardiff Bill has moved around a couple Rhopies on his property above Swamis. Probably worth a PM Dave! -
happypalms replied to Tracy's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsMy number one enemy is scale, can’t stand the little life sucker creatures. Buying a lot of plants it’s always heading my way, hitching a ride from nursery to nursery. Loath it cant stand it dislike it, curse it to high heaven I say!
-
Jim in Los Altos replied to Jim in Los Altos's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI’m leaving it there too even though it’s crammed next to that Archotophoenix which, by the way, is a fast growing volunteer also. -
thyerr01 replied to MarcusH's topic in COLD HARDY PALMSWhat are these two? Brahea moorei and ?? It almost looks like a Licuala. -

Than replied to happypalms's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsI'd happily sacrifice other trees to accommodate one. I also bought that seed from Bellamy. I've read the viability is short so perhaps the long trip through the Greek customs made it useless by the time I received it. Bellamy refunded me though! -
tinman10101 replied to Tracy's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palmsthe juxtaposition of colors and textures is quite brilliant tracy. truly beautiful pic! -
tinman10101 replied to Tracy's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palmswow tracy. that dioon is a beauty. it almost looks like you are in florida just seeing how lush everything is. what bugs me? when you wait three years for a cycad to flush and it flushes one leaf. like len said once ... its almost like its sticking a middle finger in your face. LOL its weird ... dioon's dont do well for me in the ground. in pots they thrive but in ground they languish for some reason. maybe its my desert climate with the extremes.

Robert Cade Ross replied to MarcusH's topic in COLD HARDY PALMSCentral Texas earlier this week:) don’t hate me but I’m too lazy to add all the individual captions haha . Pics range from my friend Matthew’s personal collection in San Marcos to areas around San Antonio. I even found a non disturbed area of Spanish moss with cactus kinda cool to see those species interact together.
