Today I visited a nursery (VPA in Porto Amazonas , st Paraná in south Brazil) which has a lot of Nannorops ritchiana, but planted in the ground. They seem to be tricky to transplant. Does somebody have positive experience transplanting this palm? Thanks!

Transplanting Needle Palm?

Last April I planted a good sized 7 or 10 gallon needle palm. This spring I would like to move it to another location for purely aesthetic reasons. I hear palms in general do not like to be transplanted. What are the chances I could damage the plant by moving it. Are there any specific things I should do when transplanting? Thanks

Transplanting S. palmetto seedlings
by Manalto- 5 replies
- 797 views
These two seedlings appeared at the base of my Sabal palmetto. I realize that they're slow growers but I like the look of young sabals, especially when grown in a little shade, (and the price is right) so I'd like to move them. Two questions: Do they look to you like S. palmetto seedlings (and not another species delivered by birds)? What's the best method and timing for moving them?

Transplanting Saw Palmetto
by Joe NC- 3 replies

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?

Trapping Heat and Humidity with plastic

So I have my sabal enclosed with this fence but I was thinking because I have a plastic tarp, Would it be ok if I cover the fence with the plastic tarp and trap heat and humidity or would it cause any bad effects or bacteria on the palm or will it just be a greenhouse?

Trashy Spear Fully Pulled
by PalmTreeDude- 2 replies

Well... My Trachy spear pulled from the worst cold snap we have had here, the funny thing is my Butias, Mediterranean Fan Palm, and of course my Needle Palm are all thriving right now. I put most protection on the trachy and it is having the problem. The inner spear pulled but some fronds on the outside are green. Will it survive or is it likely dead?

Treating fungus with Lysol
by glasalle- 2 replies
- 225 views
I covered my Washingtonia robustas with garbage cans to protect them from a 14F cold snap. I was out of town and left them in place too long. The leaves and spears have fungal growth on them. The spears looks partially dead, but has about 3 inches of green coming out of trunk. The dead part has fungus on it. I was worried about the fungus descending down the spears, so sprayed them with Lysol. Now I'm wondering if that was advisable.

Treatment after a hard freeze or ice event

My palms have become too large or too thorny to wrap the spear leaf before a bad weather event. I'm going to use a hairdryer where the spear emerges after the precipitation stops but would pouring something in the spear be beneficial? Hydrogen peroxide? Daconil? Other?

Treatment and Recovery

I wanted to start a post on the treatments and recoveries of everyone’s various palms that took a hit in December. I had 3 spear pulls, and know others did too. Who’s palms pulled? How was it/they treated (specifics)? and follow ups appreciated going forward. Myself had a Butiagrus, and 2 of Frank Lewis Super mules. TREATMENT: treated with 3% peroxide, allowed that to set in for an hour or two then wicked out the water with paper towel. Followed by copper fungicide, filled the open spear holes and let sit 2 hrs. Then again wicked out the moisture. Been repeating this every 2-3 days. Happy to report that the Butiagrus is already pushing new green spear. After only 2 weeks!…

Tree Ferns
by Rothbardian1- 19 replies
- 6.5k views
I know this is a palm forum, but I was hoping I could hear some of your experiences with tree ferns; specifically in zone 8b-9a. I've read a lot of mixed reviews from people that have grown them in my hardiness zone. I think it gets almost too hot for them here. Most people, I understand, grow them in the shade down here. But then I've read where some a little further south from my area grow them in full sun. Some people claim they retain their fronds during brief freezing temperatures, and others say it can't get below freezing or they will lose their fronds. I know they will survive, but how well will they grow with temperatures will into the high 90'…

It's still pretty early in the season so they're just starting to ramp up for the season. Here's a selection of palmy pics. Giant Yucca Schotti?? Brahea edulis Butia Bi

My Trithrinax Campestris is suckering & creating a triple. This happened before & i just hacked it off but now I'm wondering whether to keep it? Its growing out in a weird area away from the other 2. Should I leave it be for a bit or chop it off? Does anyone have examples of theirs doing this & how it eventually will look? Please post pictures of yours & how you decided to let it grow.

Tropical Garden planning

I'm going to start a tropical garden with some landscaping, problem is, my backyard is too cramped with a pergola, garden, possible pool, and there is just not enough room. So I'm planning to do a small section as a tropical garden that is not too large but not too small, so it will also be easy to protect. I'm also planning to landscape the front yard and sprinkle on some tropical plants. So I'm mostly going to do the front yard this year. I already have most plants picked out for this, including mums, african marigolds, Elephant ear "Thai Giant" , Mexican fan palm or windmill palm, hydrangea, bird of paradise white & orange, canna lillies, and musa basjoo. Happy ne…

Tropical Shade Garden in Myrtle Beach

Ok so, I'm thinking of starting a shade/partial shade garden on my north/northeastern side of my house. Some of these species I have listed will obviously require protection or other special requirements. Please suggest any plants that would be good for a shade/partial shade garden. Let me know if some of these plants would be a complete mistake. Just for reference, I live in a Humid Sub-tropical Zone 8b. Although, I have managed to prove that I can grow an Ostrich Fern here, which I didn't think I was suppose to be able to do. Which makes me think that it is a more cool Humid Sub-tropical climate, maybe a little closer to an Oceanic climate than the usual Humid Sub-tropi…

Hi everyone, I'm new to palmtalk (and to palms) and have found this forum extremely helpful and informative so far--thank you all! I moved to Florida (Gainesville) last year and have been updating the landscaping the past few weeks. I bought a mature mule palm at a local nursery, but it was the only one available, and in a rush I might not have ended up with the best looking one. The nursery installed it around two weeks ago, and it has been infested with ants ever since (fire ants, I think; the bites look like big pimples). I first noticed the ants around the base, where there's a slightly hollowed out area of the trunk. The hollowed out area isn't soft, and I know …
