Both great ideas thank you. Will look underneath for some adventitious roots. I thought about staking...do you prefer the strap material that comes in a roll or just some rope?

Hello, I got this 5G windmill palm a few months ago, planned to plant it on my backyard this season. However it's not looking well at all Is this leaf scorch? - The palm stand in a relatively dark place (should I add artificial light for it?). - I don't think we overwatered. Perhaps underwatered a little? However it's winter, so the humidity is low. - We didn't fertilize it, but it came with a fertilizer added already. - There were no extreme heat, cold or cold drafts. If this is indeed leaf scorch, does this plan look good? - I'll get a longer soil moisture meter to make sure it reaches close to the bottom - Add a little bit of potassium fertilizer - Flush salts/fertilizer burn — Water heavily several times to leach excess salts - It's hard to find a place with more light in my house where it would also be inaccessible to my all-destroying parrots. SHould I add some artificial light?

Stuff I planted in March is already getting killed by the heat. This does not bode well for summer.

You sound like a fellow gardening friend of mine he said when you cut down a tree in the garden the rest of the trees mourn!!!

While we are on the subject of alogoptrea caudescens, here’s a couple floating around the garden!

Definitely not Lisa this is a picture of my Lisa!!! Not variegation I would definitely say something environmental sun burn, water problem cold damage herbicide or fertilizer damage!!!

They are a fast growing palm, I used them as pioneer palms in my garden originally, creating that much needed canopy. You think there fast in your area, should see them in habitat growing.

And with thousands upon thousands of hectares of land out there in Australia, one can quite easily spend a day in the bush and not worry about the rest of the world. I know every plant in my garden a planted every one with a beautiful vision! I now look at that vision!

Humming birds do love this Dyckia, but I was noticing that this one is blooming earlier this year than in "normal years". It sort of fits into a them of a number of posts. I was in the backyard and noticed a humming bird nest in my Chrysalidocarpus onilahensis. I think the abundance of Aloes and different species which bloom at different times are the big attraction for the humming birds. So perhaps in addition to thinking about species that attract the humming birds, think about which will flower at different times, to keep them in your garden.

A couple of weeks later and it is really starting to look like a flush as opposed to a few little pale green nubs.

An amazing palm . I didn’t know anything about them until I saw one in the glass house at The Huntington in Pasadena , California. Yours is splendid! Harry

Blazing hot 90 degrees in Uptown Houston right now. Gotta be record or near record

Reinhardtia latisecta. Tim

Looks terrific Tracy! Tim

The only palm species in my area that can drop a seed and that seed become a beautiful towering palm in less than ten years.

Hard to be sure but I think that’s Corypha umbraculifera. Whatever it is, it’s not Borassodendron.

Allogoptera caudescens opening a new leaf is such an attractive sight.

Thanks, friend. Palm trees recover more in spring and summer. And each variety of palm tree is a unique and separate kingdom.

Good luck, Dominik 🤗 powodzenia, Dominik

It's really filled out—wonderful! You've got a great specimen there, Feng 🤗

Wonderful, Harry. both the name and the palm tree 🤗

I really have to smile—we should definitely have a Sabal lisa here. First of all, it’s a wonderful palm tree, and second, my twin sister has the same name, so it’s a perfect fit 😁🤗🤭

“genetic anomaly” sounds logical, yes Harry🤗

🤗 soooooooooooo beautiful
