Old, tall Trachycarpus declining. Only a few small leaves
by LeonardHolmes- 1 follower

I have a 40 year old 28' windmill palm that hasn't recovered from the 2018 freeze in Virginia. I lost some other windmills, but this one is in a more sheltered location. The emerging leaves are small - maybe 1/2 to 2/3 the size of the healthy leaves it had before the freeze. It only puts out 2 or 3 a year. I'm afraid it's just too tall to recover. I've tried foliar feeding. I hate to just cut it, so I'll leave it as long as there is some green at the top; but I'm hoping that some of the experts on here can come to the rescue.

Growth Observations and Trachy Placement
by ColumbusPalm- 3 replies
- 425 views
Hey All, Wanted to share some observations I've had so far in my 6a garden in Columbus, OH. I planted 4 palms in late March, 3 minors and a Needle. They all seem to be showing some growth already which I am pretty excited about (two minors even producing inflorescence). My smaller minor is the only one so far that has shown zero signs of growth. I bought it from a grower near Lake Erie so I am wondering if it is a McCurtain or just taking its time. My great Z6 experiment is.. growing..I am also going to try a Waggie and a Naini Tal. Was hoping for opinions on placement for the Waggie (it will be a larger palm). I am planning on some good protectio…

Are Hybrid Palmate Species Possible?
by BeyondTheGarden- 2 followers
- 16 replies
- 1.4k views
When you look for hybrid palms, all kinds of pinnate genus' seem possible to hybridize. Butias, Jubaeas, Parajubaeas, Syagrus, Lytocaryum, all mixed together. I'm sure there are more inter-species hybrids in existence that I'm unaware of. But when it comes to palmate hybrids, I've only ever seen intra-species hybrids. Trachycarpus fortunei x wagnerianus. Sabal minor x palmetto. Washingtonia robusta x filifera (those are the only examples I can think of, off-hand). Would it be possible to hybridize different genus's of palmate palms? I'm going to take artistic liberty and list some of the genus's that I think would be cool to play with (most in this list are …

S. Palmetto vs. S. Minor seedling differentiation
by LasPalmerasDeMaryland- 1 follower
- 6 replies
- 807 views
So I’ve been growing some palmetto seedlings for a few years now and they’re starting to get more palmate fronds. I bought a big thing of Sabal Palmetto seeds a few years ago and they germinated and gave me these. I believe I also bought Sabal minor seeds to scatter around in the woods. My memory is the worst and I’m not sure if I actually germinated a Sabal minor or not. I was looking at some of the seedlings and I was struck by how blue some of them were. Do I have some Sabal minors mixed in or do Palmettos also have this bluish hue when they’re young. Thanks and I apologize for my forgetfulness!
