Alrighty so 3 new palms are being added to the mix and I have no first hand experience with any of them. - Allagoptera Arenaria - 3g - Livistona Decora - 5g - Phoenix Dactylifera - 3g In terms of cold hardiness I'm assuming the Allagoptera is the least hardy but I'm not sure how the Livistona and Phoenix compare to each other. Below are pictures of the 3, next post will have some layout pics with potential spots.

Chamaerops 'Lisa'?
by RaleighNC- 2 replies
- 492 views
A grew a number of Chamaerops from seed a few years ago, and all of them are producing divided leaves except for one. To the right is another individual from the same cohort. On the internet I have seen a few examples of individuals that continue to produce only fused leaves as adults. Do you think I have one here? Does anyone know if this is very common?

Cold hardiness amongst Cocos nucifera
by GottmitAlex- 8 replies
- 1.7k views
Well, winter is almost through. I just want to show the damage winter has brought on my coconuts. The golden malayan dwarf, such as it is being the eldest etc, is more susceptible to cold than the green malayan dwarfs. Here are several pictures in order to appreciate the post-cold damage. The exception (among golden cocos) being my storebought(supermarket) dehusked golden coco which germinated in my greenhaus. I believe the reason it did not present as much damage as the golden malayan dwarf is because this golden coco is a tall variety. These 4 cocos were unprotected this winter. Except for the brood lamps trained at the soil when temps fell below 10C. Our lowe…

Ok what I have here is a blue jubaea. Born and raised in the PNW. I know it is a slower growing tree like in Florida or other southern states cause it doesn't like the warm humid climates. What is the growth rate comparison like where I have mine in mukilteo Wa.zone 8B

Just thought I would share some photos of this really amazing garden we have here in Portland. It shows what can be created in our climate and is a good source of inspiration. The creator of the garden owns a specialty nursery and has since moved to the house located on that property and has begun a new transformation there. https://www.oregonlive.com/hg/2018/01/sean_hogan_cistus_nursery_pdx.html

Dont know when the photo was taken but I am only 25 minutes away so i may take a ride to go see it. This is a 7a/7b zone. Maybe an 8a microclimate as its protected from north and west winds.

I happened to stumble on this great list of cold hardy palms. Nice and concise so a good reference. I know it doesn't take things into account like winter moisture, etc but still valuable nonetheless. I've been on their website many times, but due to the "vintage" layout I missed this, and maybe some of you have too. https://www.junglemusic.net/palmadvice/palms-coldhardy1.htm

Is this sabal ok?
by NCFM- 9 replies
- 618 views
Someone I know recently sent me these pictures of his palmetto wondering what was wrong with it. At first I thought it was just the natural "boot" losing process, but as I've kept looking at it I've started to wonder if it is something more worrisome. The owner says the palm is otherwise healthy, pushing out new growth and maintaining healthy color in its fronds. Apparently this trunk issue is a very recent development, happening in the last week or so. What do ya'll think?

I picked up 3 trachies today from a craigslist seller. Dude had probably 400 growing right on top of each other. It was absolutely gorgeous - looked like a giant trachy bush. Because of how they were growing they have ridiculously long petioles cause of how much they were stretching for sun. My question is - is there anyway to keep the current look for future growth without burying them in the woods like they had been growing. I have a couple shady spots in mind but I wasn't sure if that would be enough. Pics below..

Silver Queen in mukilteo wa-call me crazy

Had a friend here notice that a queen palm was still healthy and alive outside at his palm Nursery after a winter in the Pacific northwest so he planted at his house just for the heck of it to see if it could survive which inspired me to get a more hardier Silver Queen palm to zone push in Mukilteo Wa zone 8B/9A.I live in a great micro climate for a possible survival with a little protection during winter. The tree was cheap and is an experiment to see how far it can get
