   Transplanting Saw Palmetto

   I have a silver saw palmetto that I planted in too much shade. It is surviving here in Z8a but not thriving. It is also getting swallowed up by the surrounding much more vigorous vegetation. I would like to move it to a location with much more sun. Do they transplant well?

   Nice warm Sunday morning drinking coffee, eating waffles and listening to a little jazz in the Oregon jungle. Summer is the best.

   Hello all. I have a European palm that is blackish colored on the frond stems. It doesn't scratch off. Is that a natural color or something going on? Thanks for any info.

   Coming into 3rd Spring. Looking good except the most cold hardy one the windmill. However, I will says it’s had a rough go since being in a pot. It had issues and I got it on sale. It’s been in the ground the longest at 4years but idk. I’ve continued to treat it and it has a good spear coming up, but it never just taken off

    Sabal minor "Blountstown dwarf" first flowers

    I germinated these in Winter 2015/2016. Sabal minor are slow and they are even slower in our climate that often lacks hot summers (although in recent years they have become hotter). I am thus very pleased to see that my best plant is flowering for the first time. The plant is still minute, standing only around 50 to 60 cm tall (if the centre leaf is held upright). Unfortunately, I doubt that the seeds will ripen before winter. Still, a real winner for even the smallest of coldhardy gardens.

    I heard that Sabal minor are native to Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas Mexico, but I have never seen pictures of them growing there (that I know of). If anyone has pictures of them in Mexico, can you share them here?

    Old Windmill in New Bern, NC

    Unfortunately I could not get a picture of the entire trunk because a tree was blocking the view and the palm is behind a fence, but it looked to be every bit of 35 feet tall. Hopefully it won’t get struck by lightning any time soon! Very good condition for a windmill in that area, normally they don’t do so well in the sweltering heat and sandy soil of the coastal plain Also saw some Sabal minor growing wild at a nearby park, larger fronds than I’m used to seeing:

    The survive of the Trachycarpus fortunei

    I have one big trachy in my backyard. He is there for many years. In all these years different things happend. We started with winter from -1/-2 celsius, last 2 winter where as you know -10/-17 celsius. My palm was damaged by the last -17 celsius but it totaly recovered. Next pics will show you the same trachycarpus after different circumstances. The pic with the leaf shows how its folts together when it freezes...it is protecting himself against the frost by this way. Last picture shows the severe leafburn after the -17. It totaly recovered from it, like this never happend.

    To Transplant or Not? (Trachy)

    August 6, 2021 by ColumbusPalm

    • 268 views

    Hey All, I've been thinking about the move I will be making in the spring back closer to the lake. I think leaving the minors and needle here for the next owners would be ok since they have a decent shot making it unprotected with their size and 2 full seasons in the ground, but my Trachy is almost certainly going to die with new owners. Knowing this, would you try to dig it out and take it to the new place? If so, should I grow in a large pot for a season to get it some vigor and plant the following season? Of course I want to take it but want to give it the best chance if I do so would love some opinions.

    Trachys starting to flower. Good sign of health, especially after a very tough NYC winter! I guess my winter protection is a keeper for next winter. How did everyone's Trachys hold up in the northeast this winter? When should I fertilize my trachys? I hope everyone has a great growing season. Robert

    Phoenix x (palm ID)

    • 717 views

    Anyone know what cross this might be? It’s obviously Phoenix of some kind. What throws me off is the thickness of the trunks. It’s a suckering one so I’m thinking Phoenix Reclinata, but leaning heavily towards Canariensis. Normally Phoenix Reclinata crosses have thinner trunks. It’s in Destin (coastal FL panhandle).

    Thriving Butia in 7b

    I heard about this large butia growing in the Raleigh suburb of Fuquay-Varina. I was already nearby so I thought I'd check it out and I took this picture of it yesterday. I also looked at in on Google Streetview and determined it was planted sometime between 2014 and 2016. That means it also survived our terrible 2018 winter with low temps in the single digits. This gives me hope for my butia in my Raleigh yard.

    Is this pure sylvestris?

    So I recently just purchased this Phoenix sylvestris and am wondering if it is pure. The reason I question it's purity is because of the rather brown coloration in the trunk. Also, the leftover frond bases near the top half of the trunk look rather big. This could be something that is normal, but I haven't seen it. I know some people think that pretty much all Phoenix tend to have small traces of other Phoenix species. If this is true, what other Phoenix species do you think this palm has in it's genes. Obviously it is mostly sylvestris, but I am just curious
