Planting a royal palm in mallorca attempt 2
by Brandon39.5- 4 replies
- 129 views
Hey, so I planted royal palm last spring, and it didn't work out, Not sure why maybe because of lack of water, some kind of infection and the most possible one, transplant shock and spear jam. My plan is to try again because I love this palm and it deserves another attempt. The spot where I want to put it has semi shade, what I mean is that it has filtered sun because there is a big jacaranda just on top. Soil is okay, and the only problems would be the shade, proximity to my wodyetia and right beside my terrace literally a meter from my terrace. It would be facing east and some trees protecting from the north. I would do a big hole, 1 meter deep and maybe 80cm-…

I have some established chambeyronia hookeri around 10 advanced specimens 3 have flowered simultaneously together I purchased them originally from Rich trapnell rosebub farm so iam guessing there all from the same seed batch or possibly just one tree which gives an indication into some sort of flowering process being triggered by age and genetics I have always been fascinated by palm flowers but never really understood there flowering process but learning as they flower in my garden through observations daily or at least weekly

In the hothouse growing
by happypalms- 4 replies
- 158 views
It all starts with propagation and the best place for that is in the hothouse you have to monitor a hothouse daily when it comes to baby plants you have check constantly creating humidity checking moisture levels and not overwatering or cooking seeds making venting adjustments for fresh air yes you can get computer controlled setups and all the monitoring gadgets there to save time but I enjoy the challenge of growing and getting it right learning from mistakes remembering that advice is free and mistakes are costly when it comes to growing exotic plants

king palm (pseudo-) stree tree in Fairfield, California 10 years ago

10 years ago today, when were living west (= north) of 80 in Fairfield, I discovered a king palm planted as a sort of street tree. It wasn't the only king palm in Farifield at the time: a house on the hill behind ours had one growing against the structure, and we had a small one planted against our house. This, however, remains the most northern and inland king palm I ever saw in California that was unprotected and out in the open by a street. I can't remember the street name, but it was a newish (certainly post-1980s) neighborhood at a slightly higher elevation than mine (not more than a mile from our house on Greenfield). I wonder if it's still standing .

Hey, I'm wondering of the cold hardiness of the Carpentaria acminata, anyone knows if it could grow in my climate? is it similar than a royal? I heard that is the fastest palm so it could recover quite fast from the winter, no? Maybe somewhere protected with canopy above, east facing? I will appreciate your replies.

My sophomore year - road to a personal jungle 1 2

As I have seen others have done I’d like to start a thread to share and follow my own palm growing experience and progress. Hopefully 10 years from now I’ll have a mini jungle to enjoy and be able to look back at the hits and misses here on Palmtalk. Early 2021 was the first year I became aware of my palm obsession and when I started growing and planting palms. I feel like you get a little extra out of the experience if you grow from seed yourself so I try to do that as much as possible however most of the palms I have were already started. So last year I purchased a 5 gal Flamethrower and (2) 5 gal Sylvesters which went into the ground and are doing well. I also picked …

Just got this Cyphophoenix elegans about a month ago and I think the spear opened early, or is this normal? It is stressed as I didn’t initially acclimate it to sun and it burned on some spots. Zone is 10b I believe, in the Long Beach / Lakewood ca border about 5/6 miles from the ocean. Any advice helps thank you all! I plan to plant it on a eastern exposure of the house that gets sun till about noon then is shaded the rest of the day.
