5. Palmy Portlander's Palms

   I have about ten species of palms, in the ground and in pots.   This is an update as of July 2025.
   The big Trachycarpus Fortunei in the front yard, now about 25 to 30 feet (8 to ten meters.) It survived 0 degree wind chill in 2023 but lost much of its beautiful foliage. I have a pair that I planted less than ten years ago and now they are about 4 or 5 meters. I have more Trachy's that were volunteers in the year and I have moved to pots and give away along with this warning ' It's a tree, not a shrub.  Give it room." 
   The Trachycarpus Wagnerianus is about 150 cm now which I repotted and is doing very well.  It will go into the ground in the next year or two. 
   I have three surviving Nikau Palm (Rhopalostylis sapida) seedlings - the one in the photo  is thriving, one other is doing OK and one is just hanging on.  If they get big enough (say 1 meter) I will take offer them for adoption by someone on the Southern Oregon Coast, perhaps becoming the northernmost members of their species.
   A Phoenix Sylvestris I bought this Spring is doing well in a pot - it has about doubled in size.  I won't buy another Phoenix - too many stabs from the spines and frond tips that give me a reaction.  I will take it to the South Coast to give away once it gets too big, which might even be 2027 at this rate of growth.
   The Butia Capitata  has also about doubled in size since the spring.  (I hope I have not confused it with the Jubaea - I lost the labels.)
   The Sabal x Palmetto, a Defuniak palms (not shown) are also growing well. 
   My Chaemerops Humilis Cerifera grew into a small compact shrub in a pot left outdoors except during extreme cold. Now that it is in the ground it is ....not changing at all.  Maybe it will start growing once it adapts to the new location and change in soil. 
   I bought the Washingtonia Filifera as a seedling from a nursery near Bend in Central Oregon, which seems like a very odd climate for growing palms.  Do you think it needs to be moved into a bigger container?
   The laggard is the Jubaea Chilensis.  It is not dead but it is certainly not thriving,  I thought it might be too hot and dry so I moved it to give it some shade during the day.  What do you think? Since I lost the label, I have to ask if  this is in fact a Jubaea?
   I killed a beautiful small compact grey and violet Bismarckia Nobilis last year - root rot.  It went fast.  I bought a larger but less beautiful replacement that arrived with roots shaken loose in transit .  More soil came off during transplanting, something I know these plants do not like.  I used a much lighter soil mix this time and lined the bottom of the pot with pumice rock.  It lost a frond quickly and another turned grey so I thought this plant might die also, but now it has two spears coming up so I am hopeful.  I give it lots of direct sun and water it less but I am still unsure if I am over or now under watering.  Any thoughts?
   The mystery palm is a rescue plant originally purchased by someone else at Home Depot.  It is recovering now.  Any idea what it is? 
   Thanks to all of you who have shared your knowledge with me - still a palm novice but enjoying the plants and new knowledge.

22. Our Backyard

    This summer we built a tiki bar, set up a gazebo, made 10 trips for flat rocks to put around our flower beds, planted 4 Washingtonia Palms we transplanted from Florida, 4 Banana Trees, and a few other tropical type plants.
    Last summer we planted a few different types of Palms, Yuccas, and a few other things. We also made 2 water fountains by cutting, shaping and forming a frame, then used concrete, canvas tarps ripped into random pieces forming it until we liked it.
    A lot of work but it will look awesome next summer! ☀️
