Phoenix Sylvestris After Winter
by Northern Tropicals- 1 follower

Hey guys -- I don't normally post here much. I normally hang around the Zone Pushers Group on Facebook. But I wanted to broaden my reach to see if I can get some advice. As a backstory, I've been zone pushing palms since 2008 here in Wisconsin -- successfully overwintering windmill palms year after year. I'm on the edge of zone 5b/6a, just north of Milwaukee, WI. I have my own palm nursery where I currently have over 200 windmill palms in various sizes that I have grown from seed. Last spring my potted phoenix sylvestris was pushing itself out of a 15/20 gallon pot (the entire pot was like solid roots). So I decided to give it a go in the ground and the plan wa…

Today wandering the garden as I often do while taking a break from work I noticed that my Beccariophoenix madagascariensis seems to be starting to put on a little size. I can’t remember exactly when I planted it. It’s been about 6 years I would guess. It was a small 5 gallon. Over those years it has consistently put out new leafs, but it never really seemed to get too much bigger. While still considered small, it seems to finally be putting on some size. 5 gallon bucket in 2nd pic for scale. So what palm in your garden caught your eye today? It doesn’t have to be your favorite, just something that stuck out to you today.

We need a bit of color on the board. Post away! I'll start with some Calyptrocalyx in the garden, all going off at the same time. Understory gems for any garden if they will grow for you. C. leptostacyhs, C. pachystachys, and C. pachystachys 'mottled.' Tim

Islamorada, FL Palms

Had to run down to the Keys for a couple of days. Here’s some pics from the hotel. It is hot, bone dry, and sunny this time of year. Desert conditions. Didn’t have any time to run around looking for out of the way stuff, but the hotel did a really great job with the landscaping, so I thought I’d share….. It was a quick trip. Whoever put all this together really knew what they were doing. Great selections for the climate and conditions. Tourist Palmscaping to start…. In place of bottles and spindles for accents, they plugged in a lot of coccothrinax… Random Zombia an…

A lovely gift of 100 or so alfredii seeds aka mill stream palm. A rare palm from north Western Australia. Where it is threatened by habitat loss. So these seeds have come along way to reach my little cultivation fingers. Bottom heating coco coir perlite mix in styrofoam box with lid 30 degrees Celsius is the order for the day. Looking forward to growing this palm that’s for sure.

The forgotten chamaedorea elegans
by happypalms- 2 followers
- 9 replies
- 139 views
The chamaedorea genus with so many to choose from, the only problem with them is which one do I plant with so many beautiful characteristics the choice is endless. But one of my favourites is the elegans I remember my grandmother growing a few on the kitchen window sill and in her greenhouse, so popular years ago they seem to be forgotten about taking second place to the much prettier cousins. Easy to grow and very predictable in growth, a top little understory palm.

This time some Livistona Australis, dictyosperma album some old pot bound 140mm containers. Give the album’s about 3 years and they will look pretty good.

And a nice little trio of chamaedoreas, adascendens and a few Metallica with a small tenella to make a nice little group planting for the future in the garden.

Replacing Oak with Foxtail or other Palm Help 1 2 3
by AspiringDana- 1 follower
- 95 replies
- 5.5k views
I have a 30 year old Laurel Oak that sits 11' from my home and has begun to rip up the concrete driveway and sidewalk. Regretfully, I believe I need to remove this tree since it's such a high risk, especially being in a South Florida (Hurricane) location. I love the look of a bushy Foxtail Palm (is that Wodyetia Bifurcata?). I am considering planting 2 or a clump of 3, however maintenance and risk are also factors for me. I am really seeking a palm that exfoliates its leaves (and seeds stalks if possible). 1. Does this tree need trimming/pruning? If so, how often do the seeds need pruning? 2. Any tips for the absolute novice as to how or where to…

Palm Fronds Breaking
by PetitCote- 8 replies
- 235 views
Hi All, I inherited this palm with the property and it was doing very well with many fronds. Around six weeks ago the fronds all broke one by one, apart from two or three at the very top. For a few weeks little activity, then today another one has broken. I tried giving it lots of water/no water, nothing seems to help. I have seen many posts here about broken fronds, however I can’t seem to find a common theme amongst them. It’s hot here in the day (30-35C), and cool at night (down to around 14C), with wind gusts up to around 20mph. Any advice welcomed.

Well, I put two of the Pseudophoenix Sargentii in the ground, up front by the road…. hot, driest part of the yard, full, direct sun all day. Hopefully they are happy there and don’t die of dog-urine poisoning or teenage vandalism. Charlie Brown’s Pseudophoenix…… March 5th 2021… Today… The One-Armed Bandit grew another arm, so I figured it was time. June 9th 2021…. Today… Still have to find spots for 3 more in pots. Hopefully these do well in the ground.

Drymophyloeus pittipi
by happypalms- 0 replies

An unusual palm it the collection with stilt roots and a strange suckering habit. It does have cool tolerance taking temperatures down to 2 degrees Celsius. Rather slow in the ground in a subtropical climate, but an interesting palm to have in the collection. I got this one from the cairns area in North Queensland and it is slowly acclimating to the subtropical conditions leaf by leaf with only one tropical grown leaf left.
