It was Phil Bergman (Jungle Music), who had brought t light in a video the connection of zig zagging with hybridism. Personally I very much doubt about it.

They are for outside. Either eventually selling, or donating them to the future Sacramento Botanical Garden when we are finally up and running, which will probably be about five years or so. Bruce

I grew my queen palm for 2 (maybe 3?) years in a pot/ trash can and brought it indoors over the winter before planting it in the ground. During the first winter it went inside the house (east facing room). The second winter it was placed inside an unheated garage with high ceilings because it was too large to bring inside the house; there was no direct light. I kept it on the dry side while indoors. It was indoors from about late November/ early December to mid-March.

I love Chamaerops humilis! If I had the room, I would probably grow an entire Chamaerops forest it I could lol. Otherwise Good luck with your new palm!

I agree with everyone. Sabal minor doesn't ripen here until late October/early November.

Virginia Beach Volenteer Sabal palmetto
NC_Palms replied to PalmTreeDude's topic in COLD HARDY PALMS
Very nice! Thank you for sharing. The Sabal palmetto seem to be flowering in many of your photos, which means many more naturalized seedlings -
No matter what you choose. I support you I’m interested to see the outcome. I Will someday be. A northern. Queen keeper.

I think i like the yatay hybrid over the odorata =) thanks for sharing @TonyDFW -
I thought zig zag was a sign of a young jubaea?

Virginia Beach Volenteer Sabal palmetto
PalmTreeDude replied to PalmTreeDude's topic in COLD HARDY PALMS
I'm not sure exactly how cold it gets here during the Winter. Also, there are tons of other palms here that I am not taking pictures of, since this thread is about Sabal palmetto in the area. There are lots of healthy Butia with full crowns that I have seen there last year as well. There are also Windmills, which look fine, of course, but the ones right along the shore are beat up by the wind, no abnormal brown fronds or anything. Most palmettos can survive here just fine if cared for properly before they get established, there are some really nice ones in some neighborhoods inland from the beach. -
Oh yes indeedly

Growth speed Butia yatay x Jubea vs Jubea x Butia yatay
Swolte replied to Love them palms's topic in COLD HARDY PALMS
Dang, Tony, that's a fantastic-looking palm. Was it 5 Gallon when you bought it in 2015? -
It does look like some of them have been there for a while. From Wunderground.com, it looks like the Norfolk area got hit with 10F in January 2018. VA Beach may have been stayed warmer... or not. Any verification that these have been hit with temperatures below 10F? Zone 8a (10F-15F) is generally thought to be the limit for Sabal palmetto. Exceptionally hardy populations should be able to tolerate lower than 10F.

Don't give up on your Sylvester. I moved two to my new house about a year ago and ended up hacking the roots of one more than I would have liked to. It browned up and had some bad spears, but like others have mentioned, I began to give it lots of water and it is now healthy.

In their favored arid climates, they are hardier than the mid-to-upper teens that tend to be their limit here in Florida and in other humid areas.

How to cope with these brown spots and tips

Old or newer fronds? -
How to cope with these brown spots and tips
yezishu posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
Hi all. below I've included picture of these brown spots and tips that have been appearing on my Phoenix roebelenii. I've been trying to water it at proper intervals and it gets adequate sun, but there are these brown spots appearing on the leaves and tips. I'm sure this question has been asked many many times but I figured you experts are the best place to go for information how to combat this. Are there any fertilizers I should be using perhaps. Thanks in advance for the responses -
Growth speed Butia yatay x Jubea vs Jubea x Butia yatay
TonyDFW replied to Love them palms's topic in COLD HARDY PALMS
I received a Yatay x Jubea from Patric in 2015. It has been a fast grower and very cold hardy. It survived a winter low of 13F unprotected. To me and many others the palm seems to favor the Jubea parent. Stiff leaves large trunk. It’s a beautiful palm. Does anyone else have one if these hybrids that ghry can share a pic with? -

Virginia Beach Volenteer Sabal palmetto
mdsonofthesouth replied to PalmTreeDude's topic in COLD HARDY PALMS
I understand the Florida vs elsewhere palmetto debate. But genetics are genetics and Virginia Beach is a colder area than bald head and thus my hypothesis that these palmettos must have truly hardy genes to thrive there. -
Well that makes all the dates I’ve germinated much more practical. Or maybe less, if that means they might grow too big to bring indoors!
