What size pots to transplant liners.

Palms came today despite the chaos at the post office. Hoping someone has some insight on how large of pot I should put these liner sized hybrids in. Is 5 gal ok? Or 15, is bigger better? or should I stage up slower… I figure the less transplants the better on the plant, and it can go straight in the ground from 5 or 15 gal when ready maybe spring 2023. The roots are visible and or coming out of the bottom of all 4 liners. BJxQ BxPJT (2) Yatay x Jubaea Thanks for any tips!

I'm guessing the brown tips are caused by overwatering? This is kept in the grow box, under grow lights. Butia x jubaea isn't doing this.

Cut down my 30 foot trunk, with 3 foot diameter trunk filibusta in Dallas today. From ground level you couldn’t see any new growth. After lady winters deep freeze of 3F. We started cutting about 30 feet up and when that portion came down we found actively growing leaves. Nearby filibuster commenced visible growth and wasn’t cut down. I’ve also included an image of the palm in 1997.

Looking for Jubaea x Syagrus Rom 1 2
by NWpalms@206- 2 followers

Hello fellow palm enthusiasts, I’m hoping to locate and acquire a couple Jubaea x Syagrus Rom. Mailable size (unless locally to me in the western Washington area). This seems to be a tough one to find at the moment and would likely be the most ideal hybrid for my place on Vashon island. I have an order with Frank and Elaine at moultrie for 2 of the “super” mule, and with Patrick for some hybrids of his but no Jubaea x S.Rom at the moment. Much appreciated.

60L pot (16gal) South facing (lots of sun in summer) Self-watering pot (never lack water) In zone of passage, distance of pot to wall 1 meter. So I must buy at least with 1 meter of trunk to facilitate the transit. I do not want it to be temporary, so it should not grow more than 6 meters high... Which one do you recommend?

Protection Strategy for P. roebellenii
by ahosey01- 1 reply
- 520 views
I have a small triple of this palm. We get cold in the winter - 9A zone but annual lows are generally around 25-27F. About 15 years ago we hit 17F. Temps like this only last a few hours, and I don’t believe we’ve ever had a day where the daytime high doesn’t get above 40. At least not one I could find in the records. Anyways - it will need protection in the winter, particularly from frost. I don’t need to get crazy with C9 lights and heat sources though - at least as far as I can tell. I don’t really care if it defoliates, I just want to keep it alive. Can anyone recommend a decent method for protecting this that doesn’t require a ton of work? I’d throw a fros…

Adam Black, the former director of Peckerwood gardens (now JFGardens), shared some pics of the gardens on Facebook last week. I got some more after we were messaging about damage to the palms. He is documenting the damage to these palms in the area so we're bound to get some more good information from that effort too! Permission to share. Big credit to Adam! Pic 1 (Text in quotations from Adam): "If you zoom into the center background, you can see the freeze-damaged (but recoverable) Brahea bella juxtaposed over several totally-unscathed, silvery Sabal uresana, grown from wild-provenance seed from Sonora." Pic 2: "The haunting presence of backlit, freeze-damaged…

Delaware Palms

Hi! I am a Palm grower and enthusiast from South Delaware. Contrary to popular belief there are tons of palms around here if you know where to look ! The pindo’s to my knowledge are a new thing the area is trying. There are three more across the street! Sabals have been in the ground for Atleast a few years (fourth year I wanna say, maybe more!) and are doing great. Of course I couldn’t forget the famous windmills! There are plenty other hardy palms in the area and I will continue to post as I can, thanks!

ID? W. Filifera? L. Chinensis?
by zimm- 5 replies
- 435 views
Saw this one in South Padre Island, TX earlier this year at the Birding and Nature Center right out front. Having never been around Filifera or Robustas I thought the strikingly green indicated a Filifera vs the MANY Robustas around there. These were the only two pictures I took unfortunately but the teeth were VERY minimal and all green vs yellow or red as what (with my limited experience) you expect to see on Robustas or hybrids. The hugely green nature of this does make me wonder if it is something else entirely like a L. Chinensis which I think has a similar look. Any help?

Washy hardiness opportunity :
by WSimpson- 24 replies
- 1.1k views
I got down to 24F the night before last , and it will be well above that for the next few weeks , it looks like , so I should finally be able to find out if my Washy is hardy at 24F or if damage starts , etc. I always thought it was frond hardy to 23F , and now I will have a perfect opportunity to at least take 24F off of the damage question about its hardiness . If it handles 24F well it might look decent well into December or into January . I'll watch it over the next few weeks and see what 24F does to it .

Hello everyone, I've put a Washingtonia Robusta (Filibusta maybe?) in the ground this year, in zone 7a (if using the average annual extreme minimum temperature, which is around 7F/-14C). The issue with my location is that while most winters it's a solid zone 7b (last winter was actually a zone 8a), every few years (5-10), a seriously cold front can get here and plummet temperatures way below that. -9F/-23C is the lowest I've personally experienced, but I didn't have anything to actually measure it at the time, so I just have to trust the temperature at that time's forecast. As you might have already figured out, -9F/-23C is pretty much zone 6a temperatures, almo…

Hi my name is Kevin and I am the owner of Island Wide Palm Trees, we are located on Long Island in New York. We sell palm trees as far south as Virginia and as far north as Massachusetts. Here is pictures of one of my customer's Windmill Palms that have survived the past 4 winters. This spring will be 5 winters. You can not ask for better then this. The best way to keep the trees alive is to have a good wrapping system. We have an amazing wrapping system that you can see on our website. https://www.islandwidepalmtrees.com and here is a link to our Facebook video we posted last year about these trees. (wrapping and planting is extra right now) …
