It has been many years since our current terms of service were updated. Yes, I am referring to that fine print most of us decline to read. The good news is there is exactly one additional sentence and it is just intended to streamline the registration procedures and membership management for our free level IPS membership. Here it is: Registration on PalmTalk.org without an existing membership in our society will constitute joining our society at a free membership level with associated benefits. In appreciation for your attention I will share a palm photo from my farm. Pigafetta , AKA the Black Wanga Palm

Overwatered Phoenix Canariensis?
by Feng- 4 replies
- 45 views
Hi palm people, I just planted this Phoenix Canariensis in the ground about 2 weeks ago and I have been giving it a LOT of water. I’ve noticed that the leaves are becoming misaligned. Is this because the excess water is causing the frond to become engorged and is this healthy? thanks

I planted the first palm at my new house today. It was a 45 gallon monster with about 3 foot of trunk that had wayyy outgrown its container. Phoenix sylvestris is the species. probably weighed 500lbs. That pygmy palm was there from the builder and is getting ripped out to install a patio, so I don't count it. Edit: Photo working now!

What is happening to my king palm?
by Rich Amooi- 1 follower
- 4 replies
- 95 views
Happy Monday! Something weird is happening to our king palm. We planted these 6 years ago. First there is a gaping split going up one side, it is pretty deep. The other new thing that just happened is that large growth on the side. It is like two inches thick. As you can see by the photo, the smaller palm on the left has had problems as well. What do you think is happening? Is that pink rot? For reference, we live in San Diego, California. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yearly palm sprouts! Identification?

I think it’s a type of washingtonia as they are pretty much like weeds here but just want to know. Their seeds are everywhere here even on sidewalks. Picture 1 are the two new ones. Pictures 2 and 3 are pictures of a Washingtonia that I have never watered or given nutrients to but has been growing at a snails pace since 2022. Picture 4 is one that I thought was gone but has shown new green growth, it originally sprouted last April.

Hi, I am new to this site and glad I found it. I live in Marco Island Florida and can’t figure out why my fan palm is dying. I have 4 palms and have had to cut trunks off of some of them in the past due to browning leaves. This time the issue seems to be affecting the entire tree. The palms were planted a couple years ago. Any advice would be appreciated!

I have a sick palm tree - looking for advice on saving it. I see a lot of brown palms here in coastal Alabama this spring but this one tree is really worrying me. I've trimmed (it needs it again), fertilized, adjusted water... It still seems sick. It's sister on the other side of the driveway is doing fine. Can it be saved? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. JR

Inspire me!

I moved to Brownsville, Texas recently. Solid zone 10a as I understand it, with the occasional unfortunate Texas cold blast. The front yard is mostly grass. I want to keep it that way and grow a few palms in the grass. I like that aesthetic. I have already purchased a large (12ft-ish) Phoenix sylvestris in a 45g pot which will go where the red stick figure palm is. I know it's boring, but Phoenix has always been my favorite genus and I am satisfied by the sylvestris appearance. I am looking for some other ideas for palms to grow on the sides of the driveway, and some small ones in the space between the sidewalk and the street. The grass where the pygmy…

Recommendations needed for palms

I’m in serious need to revisit the palms that are growing on my farm. I will be culling a bunch of palms that just don’t like it up here. I would like some recommendations from folks for Palms. That would do well here. USDA hardiness zone 12a so frost is not an issue. However, lack of heat is we are the same heat zone as Alaska. Below is a sample of what the weather is like here for nine months of the year. The other three months lows run between 64 and 66° and highs run between 75 and 79°. Soil is acid pH5 and rains all year (180" total) but driest months are Oct and Jan. Soil is always moist. Soil is low on N, Mg and Ca. Examples of palms that have done ver…

Butia pollination
by luke.m- 1 follower

I have been collecting fruit and seed locally of what I believe is Butia oderata. I’ve noticed from the same cluster of fruits a real difference in nut and fruit size. For all appearances it looks as though the first group of fruits to ripen have viable seed and those ripening now don’t, and the shift is consistent. The first ripening fruits where large averaging 35mm with the nice big seeds, those ripening now are more like 25mm with a very small seed. Can anyone share any info as to experience with pollination of butias as the fruits are well developed but seemingly with unviable seed. Is this a normal occurrence with palms? Can these make fruits without pollinati…
