  1. Past hour
  2. My Ravenala has made it! It survived a 9b winter despite my upreparedness. It looks cr@p to the point that I'm wondering whether it's worth it, but it's pushing a new leaf (not clear in the photo yet). I am curious to see how many leaves it can push until November. I covered it on cold nights with fleece but a single layer. I added two containers with hot water inside around the base. Lowest temperature was 29F. Next winter I'll be better prepared with incandescent lights around it like a curtain. I actually did buy some but the shop sent me LED instead.
  3. It looks like the sap a cycad exudes when it’s taken in to much water. It won’t kill it but the conditions that caused it very likely could. So basically it needs less water than it’s getting.

    Arenga engleri in St Augustine

    There are quite a few on this corner. I don't know if they were damaged by cold this past winter.
  6. I have no idea what disease has got this one, but iam assuming it’s not looking good.
  7. I agree. More money for the grower as singles, two, or threes for houseplants. I haven't seen Livistona for over ten years up my way. I have ONLY seen Spindles as singles. I wonder if one would survive outside in PHX near the house, under canopy.
  8. Double, ignore it please.
  9. This sp dioecious, I know nothing more about habit of dioecism, like whether there are organs of one only sex or from both but depending on sex some of them are not functional.

    Licuala orbicularis zone push test

    She’s staying in a pot for a long time before I plant this little princess of a palm, but I will certainly give it a go! Richard

    RIP Pal Meir

    A little late but here's my last surviving Lyto. I learned so much from him despite so little actual interaction, and his wealth of knowledge especially about soil mixtures and these palms made me into the plant dork I am today. Do I follow his attention to detail and scientific methods? No. But did he have a lasting impact on me? Absolutely. I've been so careful with this plant after losing my others, and even if it just sits in the corner getting nothing but light and water it'll always be special.

    Yes, they both appear to be rostrata. Not all Yucca rostrata are silver, it’s just the preferred cultivar.

    Chambeyronia Macrocarpa toast?

    @SCVpalmenthusiast I would give it shade where you are for sure . At least for a few years. Lots of water in the warmer months . Mine grew into the sun from deep shade and burned every summer until I figured out that it wanted more water. I now water every other day , spring through fall , and it helps a lot. Congratulations on your new palm. Harry

    Phoenix dactylifera

    I like the Medjool palm. I have these palms, but they're protected indoors. And Theophrasti is great. I obtained pure RPS seeds.

    Phoenix dactylifera

    You can always obtain a X theolifera or a X dactyphrasti ...

    Chambeyronia Macrocarpa toast?

    I would love to see an update. I just picked up a macrocarpa today. Florida prices are nice. Mine was over $100 similar size. I put it in the back of my truck and the leaflets got shredded bad on the freeway. One side of the petiole lost all the leaflets.

    What is your current yard temperature?

    Very nice. Looks healthy, even though it looks like it would appreciate a little more shade.

    Ravenea xerophyla

    Containing Rhapis Excelsa

    @D. Morrowii did the 55 gallon drum work out? I have a Koban and a variegated one that I'd like to plant. Both were way too aggressively spreading in the ground. My clusters of regular green Rhapis took off like mad not too long after I commented here that they were fine. I found shoots 6 feet away from the main clumps and ripped them all out. The unusual ones I potted up. I was thinking of pouring a concrete barrier 30" or so deep, or a galvanized steel tub, or something else like your drum.
