Phoenikakias replied to Phoenikakias's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI have a real date palm, producing and maturing real dates. A good portion of almost mature dates is aborted just before full maturity. Although those fruits are soft, they are not tasty at all and their seeds never germinate. -
Phoenikakias replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEGiuseppe, I knew what you were meaning. . And it is true and pretty moving.

gyuseppe replied to Phoenikakias's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEKonstantinos, it's normal for some fruit to fall before it ripens, but does it depend on why they are sterile? -
gyuseppe replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEKonstantinos, maybe the translator misunderstood, I meant to raise puppies, not breed, to sell them

IrishPalm22 replied to sped94's topic in COLD HARDY PALMSPhoenix Palms during this “heat wave” (no high temperatures under 21.1C (70 F) since 1/7/26 in Cork City) in Rosscarbery, West Cork are thriving near the strand/sea.
IrishPalm22 replied to sped94's topic in COLD HARDY PALMSShe’s alive and starting to grow back rapidly by Irish standards… winter low was low-end 10a at the location on the sea coast, and mid zone 9 in Cork City, now we are in a “heat wave” in Ireland, should look more presentable by the end of our short maritime summer.

Carlo,Angri replied to Carlo,Angri's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEGuys, my coconut palm is unfortunately dead. It had grown well at the beginning, then I discovered the red palm weevil here too.
Phoenikakias replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEAnd they get your babies...
Phoenikakias replied to Phoenikakias's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEBump, a grand one! In the genus Phoenix frequently all three carpels of an unpollinated flower develop to a star like empty fruit that rarely, if ever, reaches maturity. When Phoenix flowers gets pollinated all three carpels are merged to one single oval shaped fruit. Whether latter is efficiently or adequately pollinated is a different story.
gyuseppe replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEyes Harry, making them from seed and taking care of them is like raising animals, after all plants are also living beings.thumb.jpg.a5dd56b69f78fe45db072c86c335dcf3.jpg)

PlantsEnjoyer posted a topic in PALMS IN POTSHello :) , Just an update of my Foxtail palm that I've been growing it since 3 years ago. Few months ago, I transplanted this palm from a plastic gallon that I've been using it to grow this palm, I felt like the gallon was too short, so I moved it into a taller polybag. Also, the recent place was too dark for this palm to grow, that's why it only have few leaves for 3 years. Now It has already pushed another new bright green frond! I am hoping it will be growing faster than before!
PlantsEnjoyer replied to Daryl's topic in TRAVEL LOGS@Daryl Welcome to Indonesia again! Wow, I am really amazed on how you took the pictures, it really looks like paintings, its so incredible! If I may know, what kind of camera did you use to capture all of these pictures?
Harry’s Palms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEYou turned it into a lovely home for more palms! I hope you saved those Dioons for relocation. Harry
Harry’s Palms replied to aztropic's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEWhy….oh why! Harry
Harry’s Palms replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEAwesome! I agree , rare to me is something I would like to have in my garden but can’t find. Those are some nice seedlings . Growing them from seed makes them precious. Harry
SeanK replied to aztropic's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEVery sad, indeed. Brahea doesn't regrow a full crown in one year as does W.robusta.
gyuseppe posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEChamaedorea cataractarum Who decides if something is rare? I no longer had Chamaedorea cataractarum, so for me it was rare, especially if the seeds were given to me by one of my best friends on this forum.

happypalms replied to aztropic's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThey even do the same in India, spotted these ones on my holiday trip.
happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThere’s always the before picture laying around somewhere, dug that bamboo out and the dioon spinolosums. Before it was a rocky tough place you were doing well if you could dig a planting hole, that’s why I originally planted the dioon nothing else would live there. So dry and barren part of the garden that had been like it the entire gardens life right from the beginning, amazing what time does, and what a bit labour can do some 27 years later I finally got around to doing something about that part of the garden!
