coconut Coconut Palm in my Garden
by Valtroep- 1 reply
- 169 views
This is my green coconut palm in my garden, it's about 1.7 meter tall and it's been growing for about 2 years. I grew it since it was a seedling. I bought it from an online shop with a price for only 1 dollar! Yea it's really cheap in here because i'm living in a tropical country. Then about the watering, i just watered it everyday and give a sunlight. For the soil, i mix it with my clay soil from my garden, organic soil, and composed leaves. It's really beautiful to see it actually, plus the emerging light green leaves. And also, it has almost no problem at all with the coconut that i grew from seedling, maybe just like some little sunburned leaves or anything. Overall, …

Palm talk and depression 1 2

When I first joined this forum I didn’t know because I was too far gone. But I was going through bad depression because of work. I was drinking heavily but also obsessed with palms. I was using palms and this forum as a way to feel better. I’m very thankful for that. And this. Iam doing amazing as I got a new job within the company. (Huge company) I’ve taken on reef tanks again. As I did as a youngster. Thank you to everyone for your support. Thanks for the love. The YouTube support. My palms are doing well indoors here in southern Ontario. I did loose a few seedlings this winter as I have been taking care of my family. My parrots and my reef tanks. But I do get some d…

I'm having all kinds of palm issues lately. Just got home to notice this new frond on my licuala looking very unhealthy. There is 6 inches of new spear following behind. And I noticed fungus on the lower half of the trunk and some of the roots. Green in areas, white in others. Are these two issues related and what should I do?

Alright hi all. Someone is selling this beauty for $30 (!) in a small Russian village 1000 km away from me. I'm thinking of buying it when it gets warm enough outside in April or May. Even shipping should pay off with this size. Any thoughts?

Are phoenix palms a bad investment in Florida?
by FlaPalmLover- 23 replies
- 617 views
I find the phoenix palms to be particularly aesthetically pleasing out of the hardier palms (and I know many of you do as well), particularly date palms and silver date palms. Are they a flat-out bad investment in Florida? Is there any way to mitigate the risk of lethal bronzing? As an aside, if these are a bad investment, are there any nurseries that sell sabal palms that aren’t wholesale nurseries?

Unknown Palm Seedling: What am I/
by PalmatierMeg- 1 reply
- 98 views
I was doing a weed pull and pot top-off of my outdoor container garden yesterday and came face to face with a palm seedling I'd been ignoring for a while. I need a fellow palm nerd to give me an ID of it. I have a few ideas but need confirmation as if it is what I suspect I'll have to decide whether to plant or compost it. See photos below Mystery Palm, Cape Coral, FL 2024

Chambeyronia Macrocarpa var. Hookeri color at 12 days

Late last fall I planted a hookeri not sure what to expect colorwise as its my first. while in containers they kind of faded similar to my watermelon but this late winter leaf is holding fast in 3/4 day shade shade. My watermelon was salmon color by the 3rd or 4th day even this time of year and it is planted 25' due east, same winter sun exposure. I had heard that the hookeri had more color, but my watermelon had some great rose red color in low light but more orange content in high sunlight. Light transmitting the hookeri leaf is more boldly red for longer in my 2 palm comparison. Here is show the low light(reflected) color of hookeri in shade and the sun transmitt…

Sabal transplant spear pull!
by ZPalms- 2 followers

This probably wasn’t the most ideal situation. When me and @BeyondTheGarden went to dig some sabals up and it was at the end of summer, and it had to survive the cold throughout winter. The spear remained solid until now, and I kept it dry, but I guess it wasn’t enough, and the spear eventually pulled. This brings me to ask: would trunk cutting work, or is it toast? There's liquid in the area where the spear pulled, which makes me wonder if I accidentally caused it when watering the trunk and water got in. anyway to save it or just wait it out?

I'm trying to grow a hybrid between L weddellianum and L insigne. The 4th flower from N°1304 served as the mother tree and the pollen came from N°1401. At the beginning of January 2024 I pollinated around 30 pistillate flowers several times, but to date only three flowers have survived, after one (#2) came off the palm the day before yesterday because it was hollow. Half a month later: And on 1st February: Eight flowers seemed to be pollinated: But only four grew bigger: But then fruit #2 fell off. It was completely hollow. As of today, only three fruits remain. Whether they are also hollow cannot c…

I have several Sylvester Palm trees and they were planted last year. When installed I had bubblers placed near them. I didn't know of bubblers very close to the bark would harm them. After my online research, I realized that exessive water, especially onto the bark, causes fungus/root rot issues. The Palm frowns are green, however, the bark has cracked, and soft near the base. I have removed the bubblers and the palms are getting lawn sprinklers twice a week. Could someone please let me know how treat the root rot, fungus issue?

Any experience or advice on when female flowers are open and receptive with Ravenea glauca? The male seems a little more clear when it is shedding pollen. Female flower spathe was cracked for a long time before it opened whereas the male just seem to pop open overnight. Any other feedback on the time it takes for seeds to develop after pollination is of interest too. I am interested in doing this less to propagate this species and more interested in learning for some of the rarer ones I am growing. Granted I have never my others are a long way off from being sufficiently mature.
