    Surprised how fried the Royals look! Meanwhile my Adonidia looks great lol..... I have some Banrot and Copper fungicide coming today and plan to apply tomorrow. Banrot to the soil as a drench and copper sprayed up into the bud zone. Guess the fungal target is Phytophthora palmivora. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/PP144 Too early to know the extent of things. But trying to do what I can while I wait......🤔

    After more than four hours of hard work, not including tidying up, the room is now sealed. We are very, very happy about this and would like to thank Otto once again, as well as my father-in-law Küde, Sabine, and myself for managing to sand down the frame, which was too big at the beginning, fix it at the entrance, and then seal the entire length on the sides. Finally...

    Otto also gave us a small camellia as a good luck charm, so to speak. We have always been extremely fond of this style 🤗

    Nasty cold pocket in east of Naples / Collier county. 22 degrees. Wonder if anyone has pics out that way? Probably a massacre smh.

    I don't have any experience in really cold weather, but my Japonica cruised right through 22.6F like nothing happened. I'll probably try this one in some more spots in my 9b/9a borderline area.

    I noticed that too. I think even Atlanta had a low in the upper 20s last night. It's because the heart of the cold air resided over the esstern peninsula. I saw a map that showed Florida had some of the coldest air on earth relative to normal. Like -30 to -35 departure from normal. Congrats to us I guess!

    Had a low of 34F this morning. Get a little break from cold temps tonight before the next front moves in. Looking at 32F Wednesday night then 30F on Thursday night. After that, I don't know when the next freeze will be, but I'm sure there will be another towards the end of February into March.

    Yes! There is also naturalized Sabal palmetto in the park. Also yes! I'm not sure what specific species of yucca though. These are common in coastal NC, especially on or near the dunes.

    A lot for the low country.

    In our last significant freeze in 2010, Adonidia took a few weeks to show damage. We probably won't know full extent of cold damage until March.

    What I find remarkable about this cold event is, that temps in the panhandle and I75 central Florida are essentially the same as central Georgia. Maybe because of the winds?

    Yeah it probably gets a lot more water allowing it to maintain many more leaves than it would in say a more deserty place. Another thing too people there probably don’t trim palms as much just for the sake of trimming. Sure the fire risk exists but a lot of washies get buzz cut on the monthly it’s refreshing to see one with a dense crown.

    I think it's nowhere close to the other Sabals, some of which look fine into the upper teens. But I haven't seen any significant damage in the upper 20s in the past. In FL they are surely a good 9b palm. If they are resistant to LB then I'll probably plant more of them!

    I’ve also been searching for Parajubaea. I’ve found a few available in S Calif. Call or text for details John O. 916-798-9225

    Sylvester Palm Tree help

    TropicsEnjoyer replied to Nyhockeyref93's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE

    Must it be liquid? I only ever use granulars so I wouldn’t be of much help. Your palms look pretty healthy at least.
  22. Merlyn
    Mine are only about 8-12' tall and have bounced back from several ~27-28F frosts over the past couple of years. This year they had at least 5 frosts prior to this record cold front and were already burnt badly. Hopefully it's just cosmetic damage and the bud is still ok. Tonight was the last of the cold front, with 30.0F and medium frost. I'll pull out my uSD card from the Ambient Weather WS-3000-X5 and plot some graphs.

    How come the Adonidia look good and the coconuts look like that? Any ideas of what variety they could be?

    Those adonidia look almost untouched. Hoping the Coconuts pull through. Love the drive from there into Melbourne Beach. Looks so tropical like South FL.

    Locating a Lepidorrachis

    Jonathan replied to Foggy Paul's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE

    Nice! Hopefully many happy years of growing ahead. They're pretty distant cousins as it turns out. Lepidorrachis is subtribe Basseliniinae, so related to Basselinia, Cyphophoenix, etc, and Hedyscepe is with Rhopalostylis in subtribe Rhopalostylidinae, which was previously included in Archontophoenicinae (what a mouthful!). Fascinating how such a small island can have four endemic palms and only two are closely related!

    Instagram links?

    JohnAndSancho replied to JohnAndSancho's topic in ADMINISTRATION

    Well, my last video is Sancho pooping to Salt N Pepa's Push It which probably isn't a good fit for this audience here. Or any audience really. It'd just be nice for continuity. The links, not the pooping. It was dark so it wasn't terribly gross but you could tell.
