   I got some seedlings of Chamaedorea microspadix (Over 14 seedlings) and Chamaedorea tepejilote (3 seedings), they still don't shoot out their first leaf, I planted them in 2 different pots, in a slightly bigger and deeper pot I planted 11 palms, 8 Chamaedorea microspadix and my 3 Chamaedorea tepejilote, since both of these species like the shade, can they live in the same pot for some months? I plan on transplanting the Chamaedorea microspadix into the ground when they are more developed and the Chamaedorea tepejilote (I hope its the clumping form) will go into a big pot when they start putting out pinnate leaves. The palms are planted in coco coir and it's practically sp…

   Russian Palms at Their Limits 1 2

   Hello Palm Lovers, While it is well known to many that lots of palms grow in Sochi, Russia, it is not the only place in the country where palms are found. If you head up the coast from Sochi, there are many palms up to the Crimean peninsula and on it, most commonly windmills, and there are also some palms a bit inland, in the city of Krasnodar. And I also found some windmill palms in the city of Derbent near the border with Azerbaijan on the Caspian Sea. My first question is are there any further north locations on the Black and/or Caspian Seas where there are palms, and if so I would love to know. I know it's not Russia, but my other question is does anyone know if …

    I noticed a couple of tall, skinny trunked stiff leafed Livistonas at the hotel I’m staying at. The thorns on the petioles are a kind of sparse. Pretty nice looking palm.

    Backfilling with sand

    March 20 by Palmfarmer

    • 2 replies
    • 235 views

    As long as the bottom of your planting hole drains fairly well backfilling with sand might be a good idea? I would imagine to roots expanding out faster, avoiding transplant shock and getting established faster. Reason I got this Idea was from Gary from Laguna. He said that when they planted the palms at LAX they backfilled them with sand and it was supposedly very common to do when planting palms at mass.

    I have a Japanese palm that quickly deteriorated in 2-3 days. I owned it for close to a year. Produced a couple of leaves in its time. I water weekly and never let it sit in water. It gets plenty of light in the area. I did add miracle grow palm feed about 2-3 weeks back. Calculated at half its recommend dose

    Euterpe Edulis Palm - Growing in Central FL

    March 18 by tgebs

    • 6 replies
    • 358 views

    I’ve grown a fair amount of fruit trees but Euterpe Edulis is the first palm I’ve tried growing. I tried a year ago at starting one of these but I put it in a spot that was try much full sun and it died pretty quickly. In January I planted another young Euterpe Edulis palm and the leaves are starting to brown, see attached image. Is this likely an artifact of the cool/dry season? What else might cause this? What is a typical routine for planting and caring for a young palm of this species so I might do better moving forward?

    I have been asked by a fellow IPS member to help him connect with Thailand residents or with those who have traveled there. He plans a future trip to the south including Phuket. Private collections, nurseries, palms in habitat are all on his list. He will probably not get to Nong Nooch this trip. You can answer here or private message me. Thanks!

    Pinanga sylvestris twin shoots

    I'm relatively new to the palm world. One of my first germination trials (with commercially obtained seeds) involved Pinanga sylvestris. First leaves emerged some weeks back. I was preparing to transplant two seedlings, but as I dug them out, I noticed that both shoots were emerging from the same seed. I wonder how common this is... I've encountered polyembryonism in the seeds of various tropical plants, but I don't know whether this is the same thing. Growing conditions: tropical (rain: April/May > November).

    Palm Tree ID

    Hello, I am new to the site and not heavily versed in all things palm tree. I live in South Florida and drive by these large what I would presume are date palms out in front of a gated waterfront community. These palms are a little different from other similar looking ones in that the color of the leaves are more of a grey or silvery green color than your typical green fronds. Does anyone know what kind of palm this is specifically with this coloration? I tried to look for seeds on the ground but just found tiny round green seeds and I don’t know if they are viable or if they fell off before becoming larger “dates”. My guess is the latter. I didn’t see any older lar…

    Hello, I am new member of this forum. Please forgive any etiquette or traditions that I am unknowingly missing. I am desperate for help. We purchased an abandoned property with an overgrown yard and a gorgeous Canary Island Date Palm. It was trimmed by a reputable tree trimmer in September. Over the course of the last two to three weeks, the entire crown fell off. Ignorant until I searched the web, I believe this is the murderous weevil. I am looking for any type of professional assistance/ service to try to save the tree if possible, and give me a diagnosis. If not salvagable, I am looking for a reputable company to responsibly do what has to be done with this massiv…
