I am planning on planting a Pindo Palm right now it was about 18-24” of trunk and is about 5-6 ft in diameter including fronds and about 4-4 1/2 feet tall not including the pot. (Photo is from December and has more fronds now). The options are a circle platform about 4-5’ in diameter in the open and a space that is 6’ by 7’ (NEAR A FENCE!!!). What would be the best option for long-term development?

How rare are Arikury palms?

I saw one at a local garden center for 85$ in a 5 gallon pot. It's only about 2.5 feet tall. I thought that price was crazy but I've also never seen any in my area north of Daytona Beach and never seen them in any garden center before. I have a hard time passing on anything rare and unusual that can handle temps below 32...

Hi all, I'm coming to Orlando for a few days on business. Are there any nurseries that sell palms or cycads in liners or small pots? I need to be able to put them in my luggage. I am most interested in cold hardy plants since I live in Houston. Thanks, Daniel

Has anyone ever planted seeds directly into the ground? Is their a success rate for this? does it take too long? Does it make the palm more vulnerable being so small? I'm asking specifically for washingtonia but maybe also seeds like Butia, sabals?

I don't think anyone guessed correctly in my original thread about this palm: Now that the specimens are larger, I went ahead and took some photos of the largest specimen today. Hopefully someone can ID now. Unfortunately, no inflorescence yet.

Copernicia fallaensis spear opened up prematurely
by FlaPalmLover- 11 replies
- 266 views
What do I do with this prematurely opened spear? It's been a rough potted winter for this palm. It's not the only spear it had coming out as you can probably tell - there's one that looks fairly healthy that's longer. I probably bought it at a bad time of year (back in December). It seems like it is dying to go into the ground. I'm considering going ahead and planting it before March even gets here.

We need a bit of color on the board. Post away! I'll start with some Calyptrocalyx in the garden, all going off at the same time. Understory gems for any garden if they will grow for you. C. leptostacyhs, C. pachystachys, and C. pachystachys 'mottled.' Tim

It's been a very rainy December this year. Here in Paphos till now we had 278% more than the average rainfall for the month and there is more coming. My palm took a lot of rain the last 3 weeks because is only protected with a plastic naylon from the northern wind. Despite of this the temps were mild and I didn't get less than 10c in my garden. We had days around 19-20 and a couple 22c. The nights were mostly 10-12c with some 13-14c. One thing I noticed is the palm had no issues so far and even the newest spear seems that it keeps growing. I guess we'll have soon more cool nights but the palm will not get any extra covering and see what happens.

Palm on the UK south coast - ID please

Hi, I've just returned from holiday in Madeira where this forum's thread was invaluable for guiding me as to what I was looking at, so thanks already for your contributions. I thought it was too cold and windy here to grow anything palm-like and bring a more exotic feel to my garden, but on Sunday I drove past a palm in the coastal village of Highcliffe, Dorset. It was tipping it down so I didn't stop to take photos, but you can see it on Google Maps here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/cFUTbD3SeP9nT3Gb7. The sea is just behind the flats and it's not a sheltered location. I think it could be a Mexican fan palm, European fan palm, or Chinese windmill palm - but I d…

Sensitive viewers may not want to look at the photos attached. Yes, sometimes we have to do the unthinkable and prune a palm. In this case, it was a Chrysalidocarpus rufescens that is planted near a walkway. This clumping palm can produce a lot of trunks and one was reaching for light by leaning out over the walkway. My wife and I both grew fatigued of having to duck to pass by. It didn't help that a few leaves of my Encephalartos nubimontanus tend to reach across to the edge of the walkway on the other side, leaving little room to pass. Step one was to remove pups from the E nubimontanus on the other side of the walkway. That only resolved part of the issue. So S…
