Thought I would start a thread on the Sabals I'm growing here. They are mostly smaller with a couple of larger ones. Hard to get clear pictures so sorry aboUT that.... The first two are: Sabal bermundana ( been great grower for me) really like the look of the split leaf. Sabal 'riverside' (this one has a bluish coloration) didn't know if that is normal for this cultivar

Trachycarpus selection for 7a turning to 6b
by David_K- 13 replies
- 2.2k views
Hello palmers, sorry for any problems, i am new to the Palm Talk. When i got interested into palms, my friend got too and he wants a palm for his garden. We've chosen trachy because they are most hardy and pretty beautiful. I dont really know which one is best. We live in the Czech Republic in the one of warmest climates in here. The zones here are 7a-6b, just something between. I wonder which one type should i get and how big. The orders are fast growing and tree-type. I thought the Tra takil bageshwar is good but, uno, i dont have palms on garden yet so and i am planning to put outside a washie, not a trachy Thank you for help and feedback.

Wet and freezing is the enemy. Keep the crown dry at all times, even in the summer. Keep the fronds away from the moisture in your enclosements. Enclosures need to be well ventilated. Don't winterize until mid December or even late December. Don't overdue protection, to much is just as bad as less protection. Never prune anything gre…
