It has been many years since our current terms of service were updated. Yes, I am referring to that fine print most of us decline to read. The good news is there is exactly one additional sentence and it is just intended to streamline the registration procedures and membership management for our free level IPS membership. Here it is: Registration on PalmTalk.org without an existing membership in our society will constitute joining our society at a free membership level with associated benefits. In appreciation for your attention I will share a palm photo from my farm. Pigafetta , AKA the Black Wanga Palm

South Florida hobby nursery

Hi all, just purchased 15 acres in South Florida, zone 11a - the property has a crop of field grown Sylvester Palms ready for market. Previous owners have been selling them (uncertified) for a while, but there are about 150 nice ones left that are 4-8' clear trunk. We do have irrigation throughout, so these are nice trees and within a week of moving in a few folks started poking around about buying the rest of the crop. I try to do things by the book, so got our state inspection/certification and am ready to sell. I have a guy who will buy the lot for $50 per foot of clear trunk, which seems low avg for wholesale but he will do all the work. This will provide a nic…

New member, but have been getting some good info from everyone on this site for a while. Started getting some palms a few years back and got inspired to start a bigger garden. In DeBary FL, about 30 miles north of Orlando. Progress so far: 2 B. Alfredii, one on the left planted from a 15g in June 2022, other went in this week from a 25g. Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana planted from a 7g in November 2021. Side yard has a couple of flamethrowers, Chambeyronia Oliviformis, another king palm, Lanonia Dasyantha, Caryota Obtusa, Chamaedorea Radicalis x Cataractarum (most likely) and Chamaedorea Microspadix. Plenty of other tropicals mixed in, big fan of Plumerias.…

Interesting Seedling Growth
by Johnny Palmseed- 0 replies
- 17 views
I was noticing that my C. Lastelliana were putting out what looked like quad leaves compared to my Pembanas which are bifid. Today I noticed that they are actually tiny pinnate leaves. I have not seen palms produce a pinnate first leaf before. Is this normal?

I got more information from the nursery man, who planted this palm in November 2019. I inquired about the use of various fungicide's recommended by connoisseur, Steve Stern. None of these has been used on this specimen. That stated, it would probably help substantially if they were used. During this time frame, the minimum temperature recorded at PBIA was 37°F. Low 40°F (43F) temperatures nearly every year at the airport during this time frame. At all times, the median temperature well exceeded the necessary Koeppen temperature required for tropical rendering. In fact, most months median temperatures were closer to 70°F than the required 64.8°F. This palm is lo…

A biig thanks for @Matty B for showing us in California what is possible. Maybe he will chime in and reveal his sorcery…. I mean growing experiences. Not wanting to hijack Bubba’s Satekentia in California post. I hope other growers in other non-tropical localities share their experiences and pictures. My experience so far… In January Winter of 2016 / 2017 I bought 2 small, yellowish one gallon Satekentia from KW Palms & Cycads in Lake Elsinore. The two palms were small and cheap so why not Then in July of 2018 I was reading a post in PT. Matty B stated that his Satakentia seemed like it could take more sun than he had thought at firs…

coconut Coconut Palm in my Garden
by shark- 5 replies
- 413 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, …

I’ll document my SoCal coconut tree journey here. Getting anything bigger than a shriveled up coconut sprout in California is almost impossible for a variety of reasons so I ordered 3 coconut sprouts. I currently have 3 coconuts of unknown varieties. The first was “front yard coconut”This is the earliest photo I have of it but it came in August 2023 half dead with one greenish leaf. This is it now dec 18 2023. It has grown but the growth has been quite slow and undramatic. When I transferred it into the ground in august it really had no roots at all. I’ve read that they eat their coconut for a while but that was strange to see I’ve been fertilizing nothing. Hopefull…

Today wandering the garden as I often do while taking a break from work I noticed that my Beccariophoenix madagascariensis seems to be starting to put on a little size. I can’t remember exactly when I planted it. It’s been about 6 years I would guess. It was a small 5 gallon. Over those years it has consistently put out new leafs, but it never really seemed to get too much bigger. While still considered small, it seems to finally be putting on some size. 5 gallon bucket in 2nd pic for scale. So what palm in your garden caught your eye today? It doesn’t have to be your favorite, just something that stuck out to you today.

Hey everyone, I have a Phoenix Sylvestris being shipped to me as we speak from California and I should have it in the ground this weekend. I've searched around the forums for a lot of information but I have a few questions I haven't been able to answer. So I'm gonna see if anyone can help here. I've seen several people say not to fertilize the first year to make sure the roots grow strong, so I'll be doing that. But I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much to water a brand new Phoenix? We get a decent amount of rain where I am, especially in spring, so I was just wondering if anyone had some advice about how many times a week etc? I'm orderi…

Help!! Pindo Palm spear pull… is it gone :((

Hey everyone! New to the forum, been a collector of palms since I was a little kid, now I’m 21 and collect for myself. One of my jelly palms in my front yard has suffered a spear pull, and the leaves have begun to sag, but not turn brown. Any chance of survival? Not too harsh of a winter in terms of snow, but I know what really gets them is the temps and frost/wind chills. I’m in Zone 8A, on the coast of Virginia in VA beach.

Hi forumers! I live in Ibiza, Spain, and these are the palm trees that have survived this winter in my garden. The pictures were taken today. Now they are in its ugliest phase of the year. They will look better after the warm period, that starts now. I hope it helps if someone wants to try these palms in a similar climate: - Howea Fosteriana - Dypsis lutescens (this one suffered during the winter but it will certainly recover in the warmer months) - Kentiopsis Oliviformis - Ptychosperma Elegans - Archontophoenix Alexandrae - Roystonea Regia - Hyophorbe Verschaffeltii - Wodyetia Bifurcata -Ravenala Madagascarie…

Would love to see photos of anyone else’s Jubaeopsis caffra. Mine’s been a very slow grower until more recently. Nearly eighteen years old and it’s seemed, for several years, that it was barely growing at all. Here’s the one in my front yard that I’m limiting to two trunks due to lack of enough space for multiple ones. Post away!
