    Anyone else seeing these around town?

    by frienduvafrond

    Was'nt sure where to post this exactly. These are becoming quite popular at Kure/Carolina Beach, NC. I find them a bit gaudy, but to each his own I suppose.

    Anyone growing a butia in a warm 7b climate?

    by MattInRaleigh

    I've heard anecdotes of some butias (pindo palm) surviving in Raleigh, NC unprotected, though it seems that most that try end up losing them in a cold winter. Has anyone had success growing butias in a warm 7b climate? If so, what type of butia and do you protect it?

    I understand mint can become a menace in the garden but I can't help but think it would be a nice addition in a few spots. Anybody have luck or is this one of those keep-in-pot type situations

    Anyone growing Sabal minor, T. fortunei, etc in southern Ontario?

    by CodyORB

    Based on this map some coastal Great Lakes areas fall under 7a, 0-5F. Has anyone given these species a try through the winter up there?

    Anyone growing the Princeps x Wagnerianus cross?

    by Jimhardy

    I thought I noticed some 2 ridgers and a 3 ridger in the 30-31 seedlings I have growing. The leaves may have seemed a little thicker too.

    Anyone Have Information on Trachycarpus Princeps?

    by Scot from SC

    Does anyone have information about Trachycarpus princeps? I have heard various temperature thresholds for this palm, and I am assuming that they are prone to spear pull when young like fortuneis. I have fortuneis, waggies, and one takil so far in my Trachycarpus collection and wanted to expand. Thank you in advance my palm tree friends.

    Anyone in the NY,NJ,CT area?

    by palmhort

    Just wondering how many other members are in the NY Tri-state area and what are you growing? Most successfull palms? Biggest disappointments? Protection methods/materials that seem to work the best? Here in NJ (coastal 7a-, I was a bit shocked to loose my two large Windmills last winter with a low of 4F on two different occasions. While I realize it was brutaly cold, I thought since they had been established close to 10 yrs and over 4ft tall with a mound of leaves around the base, they would make it....wrong!! However I was surprised to see my Sabal minors make it through unprotected with no damage whatsoever! This year I am using clear dome greenhouse umbrellas I…

    Anyone know how to tell what kind of Sabal?

    by knikfar

    Hi all, The attached photo is of an unknown variety of sabal palm that I picked seeds from this past weekend. The tree is located in Winterville, NC, zone 8a and survived the brutal winter of 2017/2018 when temps were below freezing for a week. One night the low temp was -4 and it was 1 degree f on another. This tree survived and it's clearly not in a protected area. So I'm inclined to believe its a Sabal Bald Head Island. I collected over 200 seeds and I plan to try and germinate them but I'd love confirmation on the type of Sabal it is. Anyone know of a place where I could get one of the seeds tested to find out? Also, if I can get the seeds to germinate, I p…

    Anyone know why my Mediterranean fan palm does this?

    by Jtee
    • 6 replies
    • 392 views

    The first and fourth pic is when I first planted a year and a half ago. The 2nd and 3rd is from today. Sorry for the random upload. it use to be upright and now it grows kinda bunches up and the older longer fronds droop to the ground. It’s looked this way right about a month after planting it. It seems to grow fine but I have had trouble with two smaller Mediterranean fan palms that are basically one sucker right now that is barely surviving. I don’t water it a lot but it does get a lot of rain water.

    This robusta has been in ground over two years and has always looked a little ratty and hasn’t grown as fast as the others. Grasshoppers have been eating at it lately. I’ve noticed the newest spear is twisting. Why could this be?

    Anyone tracking Butia bonetti?

    by VA Palmer

    I have searched the forums for bonetti, but haven't found much. I want to try zone pushing the most cold hardy Butia - which seems to be bonetti. On the greater web, I find one shop in Brittany, France that says that they will notify me if they get any in: Butia bonetti (achat-vente-palmiers.com)

    Anyone tries growing a Jubea chilensis in the South

    by Jtee

    All of the postings I see on here come from the West Coast regarding Jubeas. I know nothing about these palms. I’m guessing the West Coast is probably the best climate for a Jubea but has anyone tried growing one in the South? would it do well in a hot and humid environment? Does it need certain requirements to be happy? Is it a solid 8b palm?

    Anyone try these Super cold Hardy Mules? 1 2

    by Palm crazy

    The cross goes like this... Butia x Jubaea x Butia x Syagrus. Palms are being developed by Moultrie Nursery in St. Augustine, Fl. Has anyone tried this super mule? Cold hardiness has not been tested but they are saying super cold like 7b is not out of the question...WHAT? That sounds too good to be true! What type of Butia and Syagrus are they using that would produce such a cold hardy mule. Hmmm?

    appearance of queens grown in wet soil vs. draining soil/dry soil

    by Sandy Loam

    Hello. Does anyone know what a regular queen palm (syagrus romanzoffiana) looks like when grown in a patch of soil that is often wet? (Not growing in a puddle, but still a somewhat damp area of my yard) I am considering planting one in this particular spot. For example, will the trunk turn out to be thicker if grown in frequently set soil? Will the fronds have a fuller/less sparse appearance? I have noticed that queen palms look different from northern Florida to southern Florida, for some reason. They also look different in California. I therefore suspect that the growing environment has some impact on the appearance of this palm. By the way, my soil is primari…
