Jubaea help needed
by beachbum- 6 replies
- 789 views
I have a Jubaea that the lower frond tips are turning bown/black I live in south Carolina and we have gotten a lot of rain this summer. I moved it in out of rain today. Could this be due to H2O or is it something else like nutritional deficiency etc? Edit to say spear is green and tight but not really moving. Also the brown is slowly progressing. Any help would be appreciated

I am super excited to have finally spouted my first Sabal uresana. This is the first "exotic" Sabal that I have been able to sprout; the only other ones I have sprouted were Sabal palmetto and Sabal minor. Any advice you guys can give me to ensure it makes it to adulthood would be much appreciated. Thanks. Richard

I'm going to start this tonight & walk the neighborhood tomorrow & get some shots of the different butia varieties in my neighborhood alone. There are literally millions of butia palms here in the Charleston area, my neighborhood alone probably has a thousand or more. I'll use my good camera tomorrow to documents the neighborhood butia's. If you are sure of a named butia, please post... Butia Strictor.

Best Cold Hardy Palm Topic Ever
by PALM MOD- 27 replies
- 3.5k views
That title was just a trick to get you guys to read this message. Doesn't anyone read the pinned topics? There have been 8 topics so far in this new forum, and only 3 have been tagged. Please fill in the "Topic Tag" that appears after the "Topic Title" when you start the topic. As I have mentioned on several occasions, if you don't, and we close this forum in the future, all the topics without tags will be lost among all the other regular palm topics. If you tag them as "Cold Hardy" they will always be easily available in a separate Cold Hardy list.

So back in February I was all excited and ready to start planting things for the spring, and I purchased a "Jubaea Butia hybrid" from e-bay on impulse. Actually the listing was for "Yubaea/Jubaea Palms (part Butea)" I was a little hesitant on the ID of the plants for sale from the included photos, but I was one of the first people to bid on these and got a 10 gallon size (hybrid?) palm in the mail. I guess I wasn't too worried about the exact parentage of this plant, since I paid less for it (including shipping) than I would buying a 5 gallon size straight Butia from a local big box store. I don't think the seller realized how much it was going to be to ship a plant …

Have admired this palm (and 2 others nearby) for years. Need to get better pictures of it......but notice how ribbon like the fronds are. Too bad someone is not developing Washy's that have this trait .... it looks much more tropicalories IMO than your standard washy. Does anyone have pics of Washingtonia that are as much or more lax leaf than these?

Cold Hardy Palms in Dallas TX
by Cosmo- 4 replies
- 1.6k views
Was driving through South Dallas on the way to school and thought for a moment I had arrived in Margaritaville. At first the enormous Agave with an easy height of nearly 7' planted on the corner caught my attention and then I caught sight of the palms. The individual also owns the other 3 corner lots and has planted palms on all of them. He said many people believe this is a city park. Just on the one lot with his house he has 7 palms with companion agaves planted plus a lot more. That bright green encircling the palm are all volunteers. There are even some volunteers that germinated within the boots.

Rhopalostylis Sapida Cold Tolerance/Hardiness - Any info appreciated! 1 2 3
by palmsnbananas- 3 followers

So I've been scouring this site trying to find some mention of R. Sapida's, or the genus in general's, cold tolerance. Does anyone have any reports of this palm even having any damage in the cold and at what temperature? What is the lowest temperature anyone with this palm has seen? Also does anyone have info on cold hardiness of the different forms? I'm sure between the members on this board we could get a great idea of how much it can handle, any info is appreciated! If it is true that this palm can take sub 24 deg and survive then I am about to plant a triple! I was thinking of the R. Sapida Oceana - (im not even sure what that means? is that the one with whi…

Attached is a hardiness and cold tolerance index I have been working on, its not complete, let me know what you think? I have posted this here and not the freeze damage forum to to see if people think it would be worth working on this communal freeze damage and palm hardiness data base, i have used the trebrown website as a base for the list. This kind of database may already exist but is so I am not aware of it? Plant hardiness is not all about minimum temperatures, obviously some plants can tolerate wet frosts where others will only tolerate dry frosts and minimum temps do not take into account the duration cold temperatures of the daytime highs. Extra columns…

So I am going to be planting a young Sabal Palmetto at a place in Virginia on the boarder of zone 7a/7b. Some of you may have seen it in other posts but it is quite small. I dug it up from the woods, so I will be planting it if it survives. I will be adding little to no protection to it. What do you think?

Mystery Sabal
by Laaz- 1 reply
- 914 views
Here's a few shots of my mystery sabal. Again, given to me by a old woman 10 years ago as a 5 gal tine plant. It now has over 6 ft of clear trunk & is double the size & spread of normal Sabal Pametto's. She said she collected the seed somewhere local but didn't remember where. The leaves have a almost Decora look to them & the growth far exceeds the native palmetto's.
