Geonoma atrovirens where are they on palm talk.
happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
@peachy I was not going to let this one pass this time, I regretted not purchasing it last year, well this year it was up for grabs and grab I did! It was even in flower so there may be hope a seed or two if the palm gods are watching!

It's gotta be what, 15 gallon size by now? 😂 -
The only ones I killed had it coming. I'm like The Punisher of plants.
-
Yer I know that but you have killed the same amount as me in a short time and it’s taken me what 20 plus years. So at your rate and a bit of mathematical analysis you will have slaughtered a million more than me in 20 years time.🤣🌱🌴

It does look like Livistona , but with a pup …. ? Hmmm🤔 Harry

@Harry’s Palms has been holding one for me, it might just have to stay in a pot. If this winter has taught me anything, it's taught me that my grow room might be ugly but it's actually pretty badass for its purpose. Stuff definitely grows in there. There's a chance it turns around in the summer but the only green I see is the weeds around it. -

Can anyone who commented 10 years ago post an update. I just installed mine. Id be curious to see the growth in 10 years. I hope it will have at least a few feet of trunk showing . -

Sad to see it go. One of my favorite palms. -
They hate the smell of the cedar oil too. It won't kill them but they'll move and abandon their nest. I've got a tree I need to cut down that's infested with the little demons and I'm ready to just set fire to it. I don't want to get close enough to get bit again. Maybe I break out the sledge.

Update. The protected Washie is toast. -
Finally made it to Animal Kingdom. That place got absolutely thrashed. So much damage I could have photographed all day and not covered it all.
-
I'm trying to catch up to you cuz there ain't no way you haven't killed more than me lol. You got what, a 20 year head start on me?
-
I kind of thought that when I spotted the sucker coming up, but I don’t remember purchasing seeds of that variety. I did purchase cocothrinax seeds around that time I remember, but it’s not a cocothrinax, so my source of seed supplier may have gotten it wrong iam led to believe! Which does happen a lot in the palm seed industry.
-
I was going to say 70's or 80's just based on the limited view of the home style... 😄 Maybe palm had some size to it when planted so even older than the house.

To add context to @bubba and @SubTropicRay's commentary, these are all of the dates where West Palm Beach International Airport has recorded temperatures in the 20s:

I'd guess 1970s +/- I think Butia appearance is just a lottery. 95% of them don't do it for me with the wiry wispy unkept open crown look. Nothing to do with manicure imo. Most mules inherit the trait too, don't like most of them either 😅
-
This is what I hope mine become. In my area I get to enjoy a decent range of palms but the simple rugged beauty of a well manicured butia is near the top of my list. Any idea how old it is?

The form exists, You need to light the form

Anyone want to help skin some washingtonias?

Germinated Sabal pumos in rooting hormone/water mixture
Fusca replied to Enar's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
I don't know if the rooting hormone helped it or not but Sabal, Washingtonia and Copernicia seeds germinate pretty easily so probably don't need the extra help! -

Enar replied to Enar's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
So in other words it’s not thanks to the rooting hormone I take it! -

Fusca replied to Enar's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
Looks like you haven't done a water change in a while! You might want to treat it with a diluted hydrogen peroxide soak to kill off any fungus. I have had that happen with untreated Washingtonia seeds and more recently Copernicia hospita seeds germinating in just a few days (in just water changed daily).
