You can have that in your own! Iam already looking at Siamese cat books, never been without a pet in my life before, just some freedom gor a little time, but iam sure the first time I see a kitten I know what will happen🤣

Syagrus Schizophylla, they even look manic as a juvenile palm!

Another great Australian palm. Slow to grow and germinate. Very sporadic germination rates, anywhere from 12 months to 3 years with them germinating in sporadic bursts. And with the added bonus of being cool tolerant!

A few trays full of them should be enough for the domestic market, with a couple left over for the garden! It’s quite surprising, New Caledonia palms how cool tolerant they are, New Caledonia and Madagascar palms in my climate perfection plus they love it, that sweet spot for those palms! The white plastic grow bag gave it away!

wow that tree is massive! Interesting observations. I've noticed the same " morphotypes" of Delonix regia as well on my travels! Really don't know what influences it! Thank you for the pointers!

I know how you feel, black sandy soil I have that drains faster than the kitchen sink, mulch mulch mulch!

Sure is. Approaching 24 months down here. Has only been through 1 full winter and I do keep it protected, but it doesn’t even flinch. I can just tell it won’t have a problem in the ground. Going to plonk it into a north east facing spot against the house with some filtered light through a bit of canopy.

Another classic brom n the collection for you. I purchased a few broms the other week! Forgot their names already, saving the memory bank for more palms!!!

A true gardener is always renovating there garden, a few short living trees would do the trick for that canopy. I have even seen botanical gardens use them in that manner to be removed later on. If you can get your mulch for free even better, just a bit of labour to collect it never hurt anyone!

That one looks like a kk special from up this way?

Bump. Got another Red Dacca pup and a ground grown Blue Java pup ready to be dug up. Down the pipeline I've got 3 more Musa Pink nono pups. $40 for the Red Dacca and Blue Java, 1g size. When the pinkies are ready I'm bumping the price of them up to $60 plus ship. Might have another Mekong ready or close to it. These are significantly larger than the $15-30 starter plants floating around. And these didn't start off as a bag of Chinese goo.

Bump. I know this is palmtalk but i know some of y'all like oddball stuff. 4" pots are selling for $55.

Woof. Late reply but I can see what I've got laying around. How big are these? I've got seedlings just nothing noticeable.

I had to have someone else make an account for me but it let me join instagram on my own. Me and mom have been talking a lot about getting Sancho a little buddy. Not a replacement. Just a buddy.

A warm ..but not overtly gross... 98F at 9:42PM, w/ a Dew Point in the upper 50s and some lingering breezes behind a decent sunset gust front, and a little associated dust, put an end to the gross 113F high earlier this afternoon.. Expect the same deal tomorrow ..Maybe a deg or two shaved off for Friday.. If it doesn't end tomorrow, Excessive heat products hoisted locally right now should end on Fri. Want some rain? Unlike what occurred up in the mountains ..and around Tucson, both today ( and yesterday, ) you'll have to head to / hang out in Nogales as activity hugs both the AZ / NM and MEX / AZ border for the next two days as the 4C high starts gearing up for it's next act.. For now, a nice hint of what lies ahead.. Little more moisture around up above as this shelfie rolled toward the western horizon = could've generated some showers.. Next time. Be Patient. Dan will be live tomorrow ( 11Am PST ) to share his thoughts on what looms beyond the weekend ahead.

My contribution from windward Hawaii Island. Hilo rainfall so far this year is about 80 inches, there's been more at my upland location. Seeds from Ortanique in May 2007, this one was planted out (full sun) in Sept. 2014. I had a problem keeping seedlings alive, this one has been doing well as far as I can tell.

Red latania

Hybrid latania new frond with (V) shape

I got this as a small 2g plant in 2003 or 2004. Has about 3 feet of clear trunk now.

Even goes ok down here in the fridge 🙂. This one is going in the ground in October I’ve decided. Got an ideal spot for it. I feel like it’s worth noting that this is now Chambeyronia piersoniorum. I grew up with Kentiopsis and Actinokentia, but they’ve been out for years now.

If I grew a fast growing tree, Id feel bad to remove them later LOL. Maybe I can get a thin amount of pine straw from the woods.

This was supposed to be with my R hildebrandtii post but I forgot it and I can’t figure out how to edit a post.

The cardboard is a great idea, many a gardener uses it as a no dig garden method. It’s cheap and usually free as well and eco friendly. Another way is just use a line trimmer but that’s ongoing work which we are all trying to avoid, cardboard mulch has another benefit as well retaining moisture and in winter a nice blanket for the palms. Sounds like you solved your problem. You could also plant some fast growing trees and remove them later on utilising them as a canopy.
