Phoenikakias replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEWhat traits of the other half, namely the microspadix, are apparent? Does it sucker? -
el-blanco posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEMany flowers over the years. First time I’ve seen seeds. Will see if they turn out viable. 20’ish years old from a 20 gallon. Dana Point, CA

el-blanco replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEYou’ve inspired me to get a layer of mulch in my garden. I’ve tilled about 4 yards of food soils in and around the plants. Now to hold all that moisture in!

gyuseppe replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThe first Chamaedorea radicalis in Italy were made by a friend of mine with the seeds of Inge Hoffman who managed the seed bank, she collected them in Dick Douglas' garden

gyuseppe replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDENo Harry, the underside of the leaves is not silver, trust me, it's a hybrid I've been growing Chamaedorea radicalis since the late 80s.

Harry’s Palms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI am a firm believer in “blanketing “ the ground . It really makes a difference . After so many years the decomposition feeds the top soil and eventually leaches down deeper . Right now we are experiencing a prolonged hot spell with little end in sight and the mulch helps insulate the ground . Harry I use bags of wood chips around the garden . As dry as the top looks , it is plenty damp underneath . This little seedling was able to push up through and stay cool enough to thrive. You can see the older discolored mulch under the more fresh chips on top . I just keep adding fresh ! Harry

Harry’s Palms replied to WaianaeCrider's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDENice palm , I don’t have this one. I also like the Transpac T-shirt! If that is what it is.Did you sail that race? Harry

Harry’s Palms replied to Phoenikakias's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI have two clumps that have still green fruit. One in almost full shade , the other gets way too much sun this time of year. This one is in a pot on the side of the house under a large C. Tepejelote This one in the courtyard where it gets afternoon sun this time of year , so it burns . I’m too lazy to move it! I am growing a Wodyetia near it to eventually provide a bit of shade. Harry

Harry’s Palms replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDESo slow . I have grown only one Sabal and it took years to grow from juvenile stage . Once established , they grow well here. Harry
-
Harry’s Palms replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEAre the undersides of the leaf silvery ? My C. Radicalis vary from plant to plant . Most are pretty predictable , but they can be different. Harry

Dan64 replied to Urban Rainforest's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than PalmsLooking Cycas to me but telling species yet is near impossible -
gyuseppe posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDESomeone here would like to see how and, here you are satisfied, I didn't breed it and it was born on its own, on the 2nd leaf I saw that it was different from a normal radicalis

SubTropicRay replied to SubTropicRay's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATEFlorida west coast-ers, are you buying or selling? I've seen this before 🙄
-
gyuseppe replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEYes Richard you are right!, I had all the species of sabal, except this one

gyuseppe replied to Phoenikakias's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEKonstantinos, how could I not please you? My friend!

Jonathan replied to cbmnz's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATEJeez, sorry to see that Tyrone. Those bloody pine trees have been a menace, but not an easy job to get rid of them either. Would be nice to have them lopped and chipped but you'd need deep pockets I guess. Hopefully there are some survivors under there, keep us appraised. -
happypalms replied to WaianaeCrider's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEThat’s a beautiful palm. Here’s a nice black petiole baronii.
-
happypalms replied to Phoenikakias's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEHere’s a few red ones if that’s any help! Your green ones look like normal microspadix seeds to me.
-
Phoenikakias posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEI have a reason to put this this request, as I am investigating the possibility, that mother plant is actually a hybrid. Truth is that microspadix fruits from other plants nearby are matte green uniformly:

happypalms posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEIt’s amazing the difference a little mulch makes on the garden. A nice winter blanket, weed control, moisture retaining, you feed the soil and it looks good. So a little mulch does go a long way, now all I have to do is spread that mulch around, a couple of wheel barrow loads should do the trick!

happypalms posted a topic in PALMS IN POTSThings slow down for palms in containers in winter, and so has this page so here’s a few palms in containers!

happypalms replied to gyuseppe's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDEYou’re a palm grower gyuseppe, you have grown plenty of palms before, just apply those same techniques that have worked in the past. The only tip is don’t overwater, and lots of gyuseppe palm love!
