These are a first for me, I currently don’t have any of these palms in my collection. the first is a 3 gal needle palm from NE Ohio Palm Trees on EBAY. Now I need to find somewhere shady to plant. the 1 gallon Sabal minor, saw palmetto and needle palm are all from Mail Order Natives out of Northern Florida. not bad for $10 each and $12 for the needle.

Some new palms!

Got some new additions! Essentially they will be part of my gardens "backbone" of hardy plants. Don't mind the dirt and lack of mulch, waiting on the soil to settle better before I do the final covering.

Some nice weather... finally..

Winter is on the way out... if the forecast models hold; it looks like we will be above 64f and sunny until at least Feb. 18! Low temps not too bad either...30's.. so Ill take it! I quickly looked around the yard and everything seems to be alright.. it was an 8b-ish winter with a low at 15f. I don't see any spear damages yet on Butias.. and the hybrids did quite nicely. It looks like the JxQ is fine also and may have grown a bit. There was certainly more damage last winter with a similar temp. It may not be over yet but I am going to enjoy the weather for now! it doesn't happen often. How is everyone doing ?

Some odd cold damage
by Kailua_Krish- 5 replies
- 1.3k views
So I finally made it back to my parents place and got to take stock of what was injured in the freeze (I believe it was a little over 2 weeks ago?). It is the oddest pattern of freeze damage Ive ever had. As you can see the leaves of both the Kerriodoxa and Chambeyronia were fried. Im wondering if this was because a blanket was thrown over them. All the spears are fine and the Kerriodoxa are already opening new leaves. As you can see most of the pothos was perfectly fine with only a few higher leaves defoliating, yet the bougainvillea defoliated completely? (The unharmed pinnate palms in the front are B. alfredi and Lytocaryum w.) A side shot of the adjacent …

In League City TX, just south of Houston. We had one night at 25 and the next bottomed out at at 23.5. It did get above freezing in between. Mule unprotected Majesty that I defoliated and wrapped with blankets and heat. Too easy to protect to risk losing it. L. Chinensis (unprotected) and Acoelorrhaphe Wrightii (blanket and Xmas lights) C. Alba just got a blanket (had lights on it but they didn't work!) and the Arenga Englerii had no protection. Another Chinensis behind that. Decora unprotected Bizzy unprotected Chamadorea Hooperiana (I think?) just had a pot flipped over it What I thought was Seifrizii but …

Some of my plants after this winter's 13F

Just thought I'd share how some of my plants faired now that we're into spring. Lytocaryum Hoehnei I have 2 of these in the ground, both got wrapped in Christmas lights. They are proving to be pretty tough palms Lytocaryum Insigne I also have 2 of these in the ground and they made it through with Christmas lights and 5 gallon buckets over them Arenga Engleri I put a bucket over it but gave it no heat. It ended up spear pulling but is pushing me growth Oleander Completely defoliated but is beginning to recover Chamaedorea Cataractum Lost the sma…

Some of the first palms I purchased

Been a while since I’ve stood in front of these Trachycarpus. Some of the first I acquired after getting interested in palms some 21+ years ago. Planted at my old mans property in Kingswinford, West Midlands, UK. Who knew back then they were the first of many dots that connected, leading to us ultimately emigrating to Australia.

Some Trachy Fortunei Questions
by Georgia Mike- 16 replies
- 1.1k views
Hey there everyone! I had a couple of Windmills put it in late spring 2020. They took nicely, One is about 7ft tall at the crown, the other is about 7.5-8ft at the crown. Unfortunately they both get pretty much full sun (central GA, 145m ASL). Since there is nothing I can do about that, I just want to make sure I’m in the right track and have some questions going into the growing season: 1. I got one of those soil testers from Amazon. The soil reads right about 5.5pH, which I ‘think’ is ok(?) Also, the prongs on the tester are 7.9 inches long. About 3 inches down, the moisture setting reads WET… and the full 7.9 inches down it reads really WET. Assuming I should cut …

Some windmill palms around my area....
by Zone7Bpalmguy- 1 reply
- 365 views
I'm trying to share a video. Seems like it worked easy enough after checking out the "beginners forum" and attempting a trial run. These particular windmills have been here for around 15 years and were planted as decent sized specimens. They have grown well though, but aren't the tallest or the oldest I've seen around here. Thanks all.

I bought a big chamaerops humilis 2 weeks ago it was pot bound with no soil and only roots showing.it was a normal green colour. So I may have damaged a few roots while struggling to take out if nursery pot and repotted it into multipurpose compost with added john innes.it drains very well.i applied palmbooster a root hormone stimulant to prevent transplant shock and palm focus a liquid palm fert with seaweed extract. Then the next day I gave it a nice prune and a deep watering and since then I noticed today is that the leaf colour is fading going lightgreen all over abd there us a white creamy like substance on the long petioles and sharp thorns.please help.

I'm seeing a forecasted low anywhere from 18-22F Sunday morning . That will blacken and crisp up these Trachy inflorescences , as well as ruin a lot of blooms on a lot of other plants . It's too bad because this is a nice showy place to see those inflorescences from inside the house . What's your low tonight ? Will

I'll be passing through Houston on I-45 soon. Is there anywhere in the area that sells any small sizes of jubaea (or jubaea hybrids), nannorhops, or trithrinax campestris? I know these aren't run-of-the-mill palms, but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks.

South Bethany Beach DE Sabal Minors
by GregVirginia7- 1 follower

Wanted to show ya’ll the progress of my unprotected Sabal Minors in Delaware. I think they’ve been in-ground for 8-years or so. Both are the same size (statue in the 2nd pic is 18” for scale) Bases are about 12” in diameter and, of course, no visible trunk with Sabal Minor. There are “volunteers” popping up all over the place. Seems to me, this is a palm that could assimilate here with no problem. I have 3 seed sprouted offspring in my backyard in Virginia from these two. I’ll send pics of them at some point.

South Bethany Beach Sabal Minors
by GregVirginia7- 1 reply
- 776 views
Finally made it to the beach in Delaware so here are my Sabal Minors that I planted from one gallon containers, I think, about 7 or 8 years ago…no protection wonders since day one… This one is well protected by a shed and outdoor shower enclosure facing south…maybe too big for the space but seems to grow slow enough not to matter much… Also facing south, the one by the canal is doing great as well…although the new frond emerging is yellow with green margins…guess that’s normal? and I do like the coloration but I think I may need to run to the garden center to get a fall/winter supplement…anyone know about this? Between the two, I cut off 6 six …

This palm really took off this year after being in the ground for 4-5 years. I don’t remember exactly when it was planted. But I wanted to post some pictures because winter is coming and it could die at any time. But for now we are beating the odds.
