    Nice bit of colour from the lanonia dasyantha!

    New Anthurium thread

    happypalms replied to metalfan's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms

    Just checking in with a few anthurium leaves!

    The small understory dypsis palms are just so beautiful. They just fit perfectly in the garden. Dypsis minuta dypsis minuta dysis sp dypsis dypsis forcifolia dypsis lantzeana Dypsis minuta dypsis poiveana dypsis mirabilis dypsis lantzeana dypsis poiveana dypsis poiveana

    We all get them leaves of various sizes and shapes from our palms. And what to do with them can be gardening maintenance schedule. The best thing to do with them is cut them up and use them as mulch, creating the microclimate of a rainforest floor with layers of mulch, making the perfect habitat for palms.

    Wow - so lush and verdant! It's remarkable how much frost Juania can take considering it must never see sub-zero temperatures in its natural habitat.

    hydrogel crystals - share your experience

    happypalms replied to Than's topic in PALMS IN POTS

    I know it’s agony watching our palms suffer without water, what a difference water makes to palms. But gel crystals I don’t think are any good for the soil, just good old compost works a treat and is much better for the microclimate it creates!

    So What Caught Your Eye Today?

    Chamaedorea Radicalis might be common but they make a statement!
  10. happypalms
    That’s a good sign then, they seem to take their time. And most definitely heat mats in your climate.

    The Mexican species Quercus canbyi growing in the John Fairey Garden Parking lot.
  12. Meangreen94z
    One I didn’t cover last time at JF garden. Quercus acutissima.
  13. Meangreen94z
    Quercus germana at John Fairey Garden
  14. Meangreen94z
    Another Mexican species, Quercus germana at San Antonio Botanical Garden. Larger than the specimen at John Fairey garden.

    Is this a good price?

    Kim replied to SCVpalmenthusiast's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE

    Prices are very regional and you will find certain palms at double or triple the price in one location as opposed to another. As this is an international website, you won't get a consensus on price here. Personally, as a California and Hawaii grower, I'd go for a smaller palm for considerably less $$. Unless you are desperate for instant landscape, it's not the best choice. Be aware this species performs best in very wet conditions. If you can provide that to a younger palm, you'll get good results and enjoy seeing the palm grow.

    What is your current yard temperature?

    Than replied to GottmitAlex's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATE

    I'm so gutted I actually came here to vent. It's May and it should be lovely but apparently we're having the coldest May of the last 70 years and rn temperature outside is 38 F! Forecast had predicted 47F and stupidly i believed it. My Kigelia has just produced some new leaves after winter dormancy and I'm afraid they will be ruined. Same with my hibiscus schizopetalus. Also yesterday I planted 100 vetiver plants in the ground and I'm now worried I lost my money... Worse still tonight is expected to be even colder! I can't believe I'll have to use fleece again in May 🤬

    True. I used half of a handful in each hole and was already in a saturated gel form. Time will tell

    That's pretty shabby. Some people have absolute zero integrity
  19. Jonathan
    Quesnelia marmorata 'Tim Plowman' I think.
  20. Jonathan
    They're just starting now I think. Not sure why they were so delayed, possibly not hot enough in the propagator?
  21. Meangreen94z
    Any chance of shipping the Brahea edulis or ‘Super Silver’?

    Roystonea question

    I was just kidding a bit Meg. The trunk is so fat, I wouldn’t even be able to get my arms around it, ha ha

    Roystonea question

    quaman58 replied to quaman58's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE

    I just assumed that there were male and female parts on the flowers of the species that would not require additional palms in the area. Certainly are plenty of bees working these flowers. Odd that no seed has been set yet though.

    Such a beautiful palm and after the rain you can see the glee in them Calyptrogyne ghiesbreghtiana!

    If the spear holds, it will be ok

    Full sun in front of a wall that reflects heat. Hmm. Figure out a way to give it shade after 2PM and water it every day.
