Discuss palm trees here in Cyprus. Increasing variety is now available in local nurseries, such as Royals, Kings, Triangles, and to a lesser extent, foxtails. Never seen cocos yet, but they seem to be becoming more common in local nurseries where i believe I saw them near Timi, but I will stop to confirm if my eyes did not deceive me.

Kentia Palm soil height help

Hi everyone, new here so sorry if this is in the wrong section. four months (October here in syd, aus) ago I transplanted a mature kentia palm (about 2m of clear trunk). It lost a couple of fronds in the wind and it has paused the new fronds it was pushing out when it went in. I’m guessing it’s still putting energy into roots and staying alive after a transplant as it’s made no change all summer and it’s only got one good frond. today I noticed that while gardening around it a few months ago I’ve inadvertently buried the trunk in another 5cm or so of soil (2inches). when I went to clear it I noticed it’s full of small, fine roots t…

The palm and cycad society of Australia annual plant sale had some rare and common varieties for sale well worth a visit for any collector of rare plants the show was held in the grounds of mount cootha botanical gardens in Brisbane they had some wonderful palms on display along with cycads as usual you have to be first in the door to get the super rare palms which would have sold out real fast as they say first in best dressed so the early bird gets the worm next time perhaps the prices reflected the market prices for rare palms I believe the growers of rare palms deserve what ever price they put on there plants as a grower myself I fully understand what goes into obtain…

Partial spear pull?
by Robbertico18- 2 followers

Hey y’all it would seem as though one of my super mule palms has partial spear pull and I’m seeking advice. Any one ever encounter something like this before? I’m thinking that when we got really cold the outermost sections of the spear got killed but protected the inside fronds. whats funny is I have another super mule planted about 12 feet away and there doesn’t seem to be any damage there.

Costapalmate Fronds 1 2
by Kathy- 1 follower
- 73 replies
- 6.8k views
There have been a couple of questions in a couple of threads lately asking "What is Costapalmate?" I think I understand this term (maybe someone can post the definition again), but when I was first learning it was a difficult thing to picture in my head from just word descriptions. I had to really seek out palms to try to understand. I thought it would be educational for many here, lurkers and maybe some members and myself, to show photos of the costapalmate fronds, especially the UNDERSIDE, of many palms. It would also be educational for me to have a list all in one place of many costapalmate palm genus & species. It would also help sharpen ID skills for many…

Digging Rhopie babies in California
by DoomsDave- 12 replies
- 324 views
Howdyall: I've got a fellow palm nut nearby that has a Rhopie sapida that dropped seeds and they sprouted and the babies are about 8" - 12" (20 - 30 cm) tall, going pinnate. He wants to clear the space and invited me to come dig them out. Anyone do this? Is this the best time of year? I thought it might be because my Rhopies seem to love the cool in the winter time. Or, should I wait till the weather warms later? All thoughts appreciated! And, for those who don't know, Rhopies are well worth the trouble!

Something wrong with my Areca vestiaria
by Dimimelbourne- 2 replies
- 143 views
I’ve had this beauty for a few years now. It’s grown a lot in my care and when it looks good, it’s stunning. I’ve managed to keep it alive indoors in Melbourne (AUS) a temperate climate, outdoors in Cairns, a tropical climate and now have it with me approx 28°S in a subtropical climate in filtered morning sun. Obviously it did the best in the tropics but got a bit crisped up on the road trip down to where I am now. The new leaf looks really pale and unwell… any thoughts as to what’s wrong with it?

Perhaps someone could help me out with an ID on this Licuala…I know there’s a small, ‘Kalimantan Mottled’ Licuala that’s different from L. mattanensis ‘Mapu’, but this is a significantly larger palm. I don’t have any pictures of it yet (working on it), only this video. Maybe @John Dransfield could help me with this ID too…? 🤞 17C6FBD6-019A-43DF-90A4-26785484D04F.mov

Brahea dulcis, so small spines?
by Phoenikakias- 4 replies
- 180 views
I got a juvenile plant under this name and turned out desperately slow. Besides petioles are armed with very tiny spines, initially they were almost invisible and one could feel them only by the touch. No they are visually more perceivable and can be caught in a picture, but they are still tiny. Is that a common trait for this sp or only related to certain ecotype(s) or strains?

Germinating allagoptrea arenaria

I purchased some allagoptrea arenaria seeds from rps and so far quite successful in the germination department to import seeds it’s a long wait from source to getting them to sowing usually 8 weeks or more with customs taking there time and other times clearing them within days of landing in the country with many emails and phone calls involved in the process along with certain fees applicable but it’s all worth it when you’re seeds start germinating I used spagnum moss slightly moist bottom heating 30 degrees Celsius in two sealed plastic bag creating more heat I have used this technique before and it worked well for me
