Yatay mule.

Remember my Yatay mule that got knock to the ground in the 2018 freak freeze we had? It's over 25 ft tall & flowering. I don't have much hope for viable seeds as I have never seen a mule produce viable seeds. They are always solid. Even the Doc's downtown seed every year but the seed is never viable. Anyway, here it is.

I have this little yatay x jubaea F1 from patric shafer, probably from Dick Douglas Garden. It is showing signs of a yatay blueish tinge. This might be an advantage of this cross, but I have two and only one shows the blue at this time.... I don't need a palm this cold hardy, but I want it anyway, LOL! I will find a spot for it if I have to clear with a chainsaw, LOL! these are not so easy to find, I don't know anyone other than patric who offers this hybrid.

Yellow spots on Mexican Fan Palm
by SALOttawa- 1 reply

Hey there! A friend of mine whom I gave a young Mexican Fan Palm has sent me a picture of their palm. It has yellow spots on the fronds and they were wondering what this might be. The palm was outside, in Ottawa Canada, all summer and was brought in for the winter. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Yellowing palms of several species

Hi everyone. I am seeking some help and advice on a few palms I planted in about 2008 in my mother's garden in Oregon. They have blasted through everything thrown at them like champions until now - where just a portion of the garden is going worryingly yellow. I hope somebody has seen this before and knows the cause, and hopefully what to do about it. Here is a bit of context. The palms were planted over a decade ago in her Ashland, Oregon garden. This is a USDA zone 8 climate and has seen temperatures in the intervening years as low as 0ºF/-18ºF (nearby) though most years have seen an annual low of about 15ºF to 25ºF (-9ºC to -4ºC). This is usually a dry cold …

Yet Another Palm ID

I spotted this palm today in my neighborhood. My first thought was a Livistona of some kind, but I'm just starting to learn how to identify palms, and the nearly-circular leaves are throwing me off. Any thoughts?

Yet another Sabal mexicana survives a south central Kansas winter!
by jfrye01@live.com- 15 replies

Checking around the yard today, I noticed something very surprising on a palm I had given up for dead...this Sabal mexicana was planted as a one gallon strapling last summer, northeast side of the house (I know, worst place to plant palms, but I'm out of room! ). When winter came, I didn't have the means to protect it, as I had several other larger palms I wanted to keep healthy, so I said goodbye to it and gave it up for dead...and it appeared so as of last week, completely brown, so I planned to dig it out and replace with something else. I'm glad I waited, as today, I noticed this: It lives! It may not look like much, but here in Kansas, I'll take what I …

I have this two young Brahea sp that were planted a year ago on the lowest and coldest part of the garden. One of them ( labeled Brahea aculeata) has some damaged leaflets with the light frosts we had here. According the nearby weather station ( +- 1 km from here) it was + 0.58 at 6:00 h and reached -0.48⁰ at 8:00 h. I was surprised by the differences in leaf hardiness of both species. The palm labeled Brahea elegans was intact.

Young Needle Palm Hardiness 1 2
by faceyourfaces- 3 followers

I planted 5 young needle palms along the west side of my driveway, which faces north. While I understand that an open spot for the Northwest winds to blow is bad for palms, I figured that Rhapidophyllum hystrix is the hardiest palm and it should be able to handle it. The only problem is that my needles are young; they are about a foot tall and only two of them are producing mature fan-shaped leaves. I live on Long Island, NY which is USDA Zone 7a. Although the 2016 winter was rather mild it did get down to 0° F once in February. How hardy are needle palms while they are young and how much should I protect them come next winter?

Young Sabal Mexicana

Hi everyone, Today I've planted a texas sabal mexicana in the front yard. According to the internet they're very slow growing . Since this little fellow isn't growing in the wild would the growth rate be faster? Don't really want to wait 10 to 15 years for the trunk to be visible but if that's the case I'll planted it in the wild.

So I am going to be planting a young Sabal Palmetto at a place in Virginia on the boarder of zone 7a/7b. Some of you may have seen it in other posts but it is quite small. I dug it up from the woods, so I will be planting it if it survives. I will be adding little to no protection to it. What do you think?

Have a quick question on a newly planted Waggie Palm. Three weeks ago planted a field grown, 7' , b&b Waggie. It had some minor scale that I have treated with oil and a systemic and looks to be recovering nicely. It was watered daily for the first week and now I'm watering 2x per week. The bottom row of fronds is looking a bit yellow, but I was warned that this might be shock from digging, transporting and planting. My question is should I start fertilizing now or wait? On my Windmill and Pindo I use Jobes Organics. Is this a good product? Many thanks for your help.

Your favorite palm of 2021 1 2

That you own, of course. And add a pic! It's January so we can still do these yearly reviews. My favorite pam for 2021 was the Phoenix Canariensis. What determined favorability in 2021 was strongly influenced by how Palms recovered during our winter event (aka Palmageddon) here in Central Texas. This palm was completely defoliated (I cut it to a single spear) and protected by several layers of fleece blankets and frost cloth. What you see in the picture is a full blown recovery explosion. I got the palm in Jan/Feb of 2020 from one of those Houston Garden Centers along the highway for a discounted price. It was in a 5 Gallon pot with a trunk diameter of 5 inches.…

Z-7 Trunking Palms

Just to offer a little encouragement to any newer Zone 7 cold hardy palm enthusiasts…there is hope for a bit of variety in our zone… First…Needle Palm…planted in 2014…protection free in my yard anyway, little to no winter damage. The trunk is about 13” (16 oz. can for scale) cleaned it up for this post and was surprised myself at the trunk. Can’t recommend this palm enough. It has several trunks but this one presents itself right off the deck which makes it good…so is the beer: Next up…the Brazoria…little protection if any…have patience and you can get good results…the trunk is about 12” and it gets fatter every year. It’s a rough looking trunk but any tru…

Z6 Sabal minors and Needle palm

Hey All, Wanted to provide an update on where mine landed. Our low last winter was 9F and the last true Z6 winters were 2014/15. I looked at some 10 year data and it does seem we get at least 1-2 weeks a year below freezing. I protected the Yucca rostrata the first year and it flew through. Thinking I should do the same with these? I did burlap wrapped around yard stakes with a clear painters tarp on top (thinking it would get some mild greenhouse effect that way but still be breathable). The minors all get full sun and the needle gets maybe 2 hours of evening sun (north facing). Please share any tips you have or opinions on care this summer and protect…

Good Evening all, Im new here and just would like some feedback on everyones experiences with this species. I have 3 specimens, all purchased from LOWES in the blue pots (you know the ones). 1 is about 2 yrs old (meaning I've had it for 2 years). Last winter I kept it inside in a roughly 10 gallon pot. Over the last year it has grown well, albeit slowly. The other two I purchased around april this year and are smaller. After relandscaping my entire property I decided to plant all of these in select locations. I am in Calera, Alabama, zone 8a I believe. They are all planted in a south facing back yard, and get 8+ hrs o…

Some recoveries some failures, too many to mention. But here are some pictures. Austin had 25 earlier this month. A fair amount of damage. 10 maybe 12F last February. Very warm spot south of the Skyline of Austin. I have grown to love their hardy cycad collection.

Zone 3b
by Philly J- 18 replies

ok so not this summer, but next summer I am going to be preparing both a bulgarian Trachy and R.Hystrix. Extensively researching, I found a testimony from someone in North Dakota (zone 4 with sometimes 3b weather) who successfully winters his R.Hystrix, albeit with many many steps and layers of protection for both the trunk and the surrounding ground (which freezes here in Saskatchewan very very deep). His palm is now 6 years old and had some good warmer winters to harden itself, which was lucky for him. We rarely see that winter on the warmer side up here in 3b. This may be completely futile, but I wanted the challenge, which is why i will only be doing one of ea…
