Palms1984 replied to The Gerg's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEHawaii has a very nice tropical climate and for the most part very good soil. Where I’m from originally, Kalihi Valley, it rains almost every night. All the tropical plants thrive without needing any water. I wish San Diego had more rain! -
Johnny Palmseed replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEIt gets some water from neighbors sprinklers but it is definitely more on the dry side. I never give supplemental water and it’s on a slope so most would run off anyway. Full sun from very young. I did nothing to protect it last winter. It sustained severe freeze damage on all fronds except the spear and is now growing again. Producing inflorescences as well. The bees definitely love them here too. I’m always amazed at the numbers I get. I do give it some 0-0-20 and a light dose of Florikan once it starts raining reliably. Which I am still waiting for… -

happypalms replied to wimmie's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsI have a few serpentina young plants and the colour of yours matches the same, and they do get a wispy thin look about them, only more robust looking due to the light and heat. After all they Australian, and we are not called the sunburnt country for no reason!

happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI have microspadix and it’s a deeper green and more of a green leather look. I may have purchased the palm some odd 30 years ago and yes the memory is not the same, and my memory bank i finally got the combination and unlocked it and according to my memory bank it’s a sefritzii!

happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEWould you say a dry arid conditions with as much sun as possible for growing this palm. I can provide that but i havent been game enough to plant pslms in that area of my property. Good drainage is not a problem in my garden, or would a spot with some microclimate be best suited. Thanks

happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThank you, the recipe you have provided sounds like the key to success with this palm. Very detailed description of what I should be doing with this palm. And the varietie I have is navassana, so that one problem solved. Thanks again.

Looking Glass replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThere are different varieties of these circulating around here. There is a fat-leaflet one, and a clearly different whispy thin leaflet one, in addition to the various subspecies from around the Carribean. These traits were evident when young. The fat leaflet kind grows faster and more robust for me. The thin leaflet kind seems a little slower. PS ssp saonae is the slowest for me…. It was supposed to be a faster growing ssp. It was planted at the same time but much older, now blown away by its younger partners who have quickly surpassed it. PS….. it’s 83 F (28.3 Celsius) out right now at midnight.

Harry’s Palms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI have a pup that sprouted on mine about a year or so ago that has wide leaflets . It looks completely different than the others . It sounds like this species can be variable. Harry
