Help IDing this palm
by Tom Ace- 6 replies
- 1.1k views
Hi Guys, I came across this plant at a local nursery here in CT. They have a very small section with some tropicals. I saw this and thought it was a Trachy, which got me interested. Asked the girl, she had no idea so I had her check the book. She said they have two types of palms listed that it could be: Chinese Fan Palm or European fan palm. This palm doesn't have any spines but there were two others that did (a feature of the european I thought?) Anyhow, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Does Anyone Know What Variety of Mediterranean Fan Pamm This Is? 1 2
by PalmTreeDude- 40 replies
- 5.3k views
Does anyone know what variety of Mediterranean Fan Palm this is? Does it have a certine variety or are only certain ones recognized as a certain variety? Does anyone know where mine may have ancestors from (Like West/East Mediterranean etc.)? I know I need to weed around it again (center trunk has always been dead and I have not protected this last winter at all expecting it to die, but it survived, I was going to replace it with something else) and I will mulch.

Winter protection for small trachy?
by newtopalmsMD- 5 replies
- 1.2k views
Has anyone covered a trachy in a pile of leaves for the winter in zone 7a as a means of winter protection. It's been in the ground 14 months. Read about this in palms wont grow here but feel a bit funny about burying a live tree (below) in leaves. Any experiences would be helpful. (Last winter a used a cage covered with frost cloth and Christmas lights whenever it got down to 12 degrees F.) Thanks

T. Fortunei smaller new growth
by SRJbb99- 5 replies
- 892 views
My T. Fortunei is sprouting new leaves that are smaller than the ones before. I have another one about 10 feet from this that doesn't have this problem but has a negligible amount more shade than this one. It has been in the ground about 3 months, Zone 8B in Dallas. Amended clay soil with sandy loam. Full sun. We've had the wettest fall months on record so that could be a part of it. Thoughts? I've never seen this before

Can my windmill be helped?
by Tom Ace- 17 replies
- 1.7k views
Hi folks, This is my first real post. I’m looking for any help that is out there. I have 3 potted windmills here in zone 6B CT. Last year, I left them outside too long, probably til December. Nights in the 20sF. Anyway, one of the plants had spear pull. Many of the fronds just pulled right out. I poured peroxide in the crown several times. The plant is still alive, but barely. It has put out 2 fronds since December, and they’re very small fronds. If I look at the drain holes in the bottom of the pot (5-7 gallon), I can see roots and I can see that they’re green. Over the course of summer I have had to prune off many more fronds, as they keep browning. The remaining f…

Should I be worried about this Canary?
by Jon_Alex- 2 replies
- 610 views
I have a large Phoenix near the front of my house with some kind of trunk injuries about midway up (see photos). The tree was covered in Ivy when I purchased the house (6 years ago). At that time the wounds weren't visible, but after removing the Ivy and old frond bases it became evident that the tree had sustained some kind of damage at some point in the past. It almost looks like mechanical damage at some points and is isolated to one section about midway up the trunk. Some of them look to be a few inches deep. I've never had any problems but am worried about the potential for toppling onto the house! We don't get hurricanes in California but winter does brin…

Handfull of filifera in a ditch

I have no idea how they got here but these little ditch dwellers sprouted up last year, burned to the ground in the winter, came back up and got weed whacked a few times, went through 65 days with zero irrigation and 110f days and keep on trucking along. This wet September sure has kicked them into overdrive. Got a few rogue bismarckia from a spent seed batch popping up and several sabals too.

Is Ornamental Palm Horticulture by Timothy K. Broschat a good resource for 8b, upper Gulf Coast (Alabama)? I see both authors are based in Dade County, so I wonder if the focus is on tropical palms. If not this book, is there one that you'd recommend? I've already learned a great deal by perusing and asking questions here, but I'm old fashioned about wanting an authoritative volume for my shelf!

Sabal minor Spear Problem
by PalmTreeDude- 5 replies
- 1.4k views
Hello, I recently reported one of my Sabal minor seedlings, but then spear was brown when I saw it and it seemed to be buried in the soil a bit, which I did not notice. Anyway, I reported it (making sure to keep the growth point higher) and applied hydrogen peroxide to the spear, it did not fizz to much. Do you think it will be all right?
