Potting up some Johannesteijsmannia magnifica sprouts
by happypalms- 2 replies
- 94 views
A easy palm to germinate the magnifica taking around 3 months bottom heating 30 degrees Celsius coco coir perlite mix and growing them is just the same as any other water loving palm once a few leaves have been grown you can pretty well much water them daily in summer about the thing you have to worry about is breaking the roots when planting or repotting so my advice is grow them on benches so the roots don’t grow into the ground in containers or even better sit them in a tray of water these seeds where purchased from RPS so far its looking like a 75% strike rate not to bad considering there journey around the globe to get to Australia and a delay in customs Australia

Hey everyone! I live in Queen Creek Arizona and currently have mule palms and pigamy date palms in my yard. I just spent a week in Hawaii and fell in love with the tropical palms and plants here. I have a big area on the east side of my house that is currently empty and gets afternoon shade. I would like to plant a Royal Palm as well as a papaya tree, banana tree and birds of paradise. Am I crazy or is it doable? Any advice on how these plants do in the Arizona desert or how to take care of these plants to make sure they survive? Or any ideas where I can purchase these plants in the valley? thanks in advance!

Pindo (Jelly) Palm

We had this small Pindo palm planted by a local nursery in the summer of 2022. In September of that year we had hurricane Ian come through and we had flooding in our yard. Then we had some bitter cold that December (17 degrees for 4 nights in a row). It actually looked fine last year with new fronds but it doesn't seem to be growing much. This past winter we had several very cold nights (low 20s) and now it's springtime and it's looking a little rough. The new fronds coming in have black on them and the older ones have brown on them but I don't think they're the ones that should be ready to cut off yet. What should we be doing?

We just had 7 Sylvester’s planted about 6 weeks ago. In the last week the fronds have started turning yellow. Should I be worried about the new trees. We also had 2 Pindos planted. The last pic is one of the pindos

Coccothrinax boschiana update
by aztropic- 2 replies
- 265 views
After 4 years of growth, some of my Coccothrinax boschiana are finally working on their first character leaf! Once they got past the blade of grass stage,they have been completely trouble free ever since. (original collection thread below) Growth is definitely slower than other species of Coccothrinax I grow, for my area. (their size hasn't scared off buyers that really want one though) Rare palms always seem to be in demand. 😄🤷♂️ aztropic Mesa, Arizona

Buying palms on e-bay

🤬 Over the years I've bought a few things on e-bay but only ever used the pay now option. Last week I took the plunge and placed a bid on a lovely palm that was on auction. I checked it about 30 minutes before it ran out, I was still the only bidder so felt quite secure that the pretty pretty would soon be mine ....oh how easily the Internet plays false with our hearts. Some greedy creature had outbid me and my gorgeous palm was no longer to be mine. Woe and alas ! How does a poor silly woman outsmart these avaricious arseholes who stoop so low as to snatch a palm away from me so rudely. After a period of serious cogitation, I had a wonderful, brilliant solution that s…

Help with ailing King Palm tree
by VasiliP- 7 replies
- 199 views
Hello everyone! I would love your insight/guidance here. We bought a king palm and planted in our yard about 2 months ago here in San Francisco, California. Since then we’ve been noticing a steady decline with the tree. We’ve been careful not to over water as it has been raining a lot. The tree does get about 4/5 hours a day if direct sunlight. We’re noticing that the leaves are turning brown(crispy) and most leaves have these brown spots. Any information would be greatly appreciated

King palms scorched by the sun??
by Sandy Loam- 2 followers

Two weeks ago. I planted several archontophoenix cunninghamiana/alexandrae out in full sun. Now they all look like they have been scorched by the sun. Is this sun intolerance or is it that I have not been watering them enough? My soil is sandy and it has has not rained at all. I have watered then a bit (not a lot) almost every other day, but I don't want them to die if they can't handle full sun anyways. Are these Archie palms for shade only? If I let them tough it out in the sun for the next couple or years, will they eventually become acclimatized...... Or die instead? PS. They are juvenile, each about five feet tall with roughly 6-8 inches o…

I have collected lots of unusual stuff from Jeff Marcus. Many times by the time they are big enough to go in the ground the tags have lost their name. I'd enjoy knowing what some of these sweet little ones are. Palms 2, 3 and 4 seem to be clumpers, 1 is solitary .

Geonoma undata leaves become perforated
by Foggy Paul- 1 follower
- 16 replies
- 429 views
Hi all. I know this species is notoriously difficult, but I'm in a climate where it should be reasonably happy--cool summers, no frost, plenty of fog and moisture. Our baby Geonoma continues to grow (slowly), but eventually each leaf develops perforations that really detract from the appearance. I have looked closely many times and found no evidence of mites or anything else that would seem to cause it. Any ideas? Or is this just a hazard of growing G. undata?

Phoenix canariensis sex type?

Hi I'm new to the forum. I was just wondering if canary island date palms are either male or female like other date palm varieties? I recently harvested some seeds from three canary island date palms but all three had dates on them. I was wondering how they might have dates if there were no males in the immediate area? Also I have never seen offshoots from canary island date palms so I was wondering if there is a difference between CID's and regular date palm varieties in the way the reproduce? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hey palm people 👋 I read some other posts on here with people asking if it’s ok to paint or spray palm tree trunks with a varnish or a sealant. I notice the opinions in the posts vary but it seems like most people agree varnished palm trunks look unnatural. Still, I like the look. Actually, I like the look A LOT. If it’s safe, effective and won’t cause rot or any other issues I’d diamond cut and varnish every Sylvester palm I could 🤩 But I don’t want to do it if it’s damaging to palms. I did a bunch of research and found when diamond cutting a Sylvester palm it’s best to use a battery powered multi tool with a titanium oscillating flush cutting blade opposed to a ma…

Are there different types of Queen Palms?

2 of our neighbors have queen palms. But some of them look so much wider and longer, pretty fronds vs others that have shorter, straight up fronds. From what they both told me they are all Queens. Can there just be a big difference within Queens or are there different kinds? I love the longer more luscious, longer fronds look!
