I live in central Florida and have a large Bismark palm that suffered frost damage to the fronds during our recent freeze. I have trimmed off the lowest level of brown, drooping fronds, but don't know whether / how much when I should go further up in removing the additional damaged fronds. Thanks

E. aureum is not known to flower naturally. It’s missing a hormone that induces flowering, though I couldn’t tell you why.

Randomly stumbled upon these Queen palms circa 2016. Dead now. @Xenon proof positive they did exist once

I was curious when I read that this is a conifer. I read on as I discovered it was from the Podocarpaceae family. You might find this article interesting particularly if you ever get another hurricane or tropical storm: https://blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/orangeco/2021/09/09/underutilized-trees-the-nagi-tree/

Here are some neglected Butia I pass out in Richmond/Katy area. Much bigger looking in person.

It's a Texas sabal. Those aren't fruits, that stuff in-between my palm is my holly tree in the background distance, funny angle.

@SCVpalmenthusiast so I see you picked an Alfredii...photos?

I wasn't familiar with this species so had to look up and see what it is: Ficus drupacea var. pubescens I don't know if these "Woolly Brown Fig" trees grow here in California. With all the different species in the Ficus genus, it is hard to keep up with them. I will speculate that the number of species within the Ficus genus exceeds even the old "Dypsis" genus during the lumping period, before splitting the genus back to Chrysalidocarpus, Dypsis and Vonitra.

Here you are Some of the bottom leaves did have some tip burn but i pruned the palm recently so it's not very obvious

So.......?😎

yes

Yes,I grew these from seed that I originally collected from the 1 blue Jubaea growing at the Mission Beach, CA planting. The seeds sprouted over the summer of 2017, so are almost 10 years old now. I've sold dozens of them over the years at 5 gallon size, but the only trees left are all in 15 gallon pots, now selling for $250 each. aztropic Mesa, Arizona

Thank you!

I always see this group from 59/69 between the beltway and I10 on the right hand side when heading into downtown. They are pretty beefy looking. https://maps.app.goo.gl/o3iPLsPHRGZYvGnL8

It has some characteristics of a Chamaerops Humilus . Harry

Did you grow these by seed? If so, how long did it take for them to get that size?

It’s grown its damage out for the most part but my only question is if I can let it enjoy the rain now? Or should I continue to cover it? Im gonna cover it for this week though since the temperature is dropping slightly. But after the fact it should be ok to start letting it be free?

Does anyone have an idea what it might be?

Splendens sold out.

Hi there. I am honestly relieved that you are all doing well. Even if Okinawa's participation in this forum has dropped a bit lately, the Hawaiian forum members are always observed closely.👍 To enlighten you,... ...this is a brand new C.macrocarpa leave. Stay safe fellas, we count on you - best regards, Lars

Don't forget, it's still veeeeery dry out there

the leaves of the acoelorrhaphe suckers are not that wide

It has to be what else is out there that matches it.

With the suckers, I'll agree with Acoelorraphe, also spiny.
