I got this 25 gallon bismark a 2 weeks ago, been watering by hand 2 times a week about 5-10 gallons each watering. Notice upper fronds starting to have some yellowing, am I over watering or underwatering?

This is probably my first post on the forum and thanks for having me. Since I went on my trip to the Philippines I spotted a “Dypsis” looking type of palm and I couldn’t decide whether its Dypsis sp “Mahajanga” or Dypsis Prestoniana. If any of you guys know what type of Dypsis this could be I would be happy to know. Thanks lordbiznezz.👍😁

Lethal Bronzing in the RGV
by ahosey01- 0 replies

Hey Texas guys - I planted this Phoenix sylvestris yesterday. Was a lot of work - don't want to lose it. Do I need to worry about lethal bronzing either a.) down here in the RGV and specifically b.) with Phoenix sylvestris? I assume yes and yes. If so, where do I get the antibiotic injections?

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.

Can anyone identify the insects I have on my Pygmy Date palm (Roebelinni)? It looks like there are at least two types and damage to the fronds is occurring. Thank you so much for any help you can provide! I am in Central Florida. I would also like to know how to treat my palm. It looks very unhealthy 😟

I moved to Brownsville, Texas recently. Solid zone 10a as I understand it, with the occasional unfortunate Texas cold blast. The front yard is mostly grass. I want to keep it that way and grow a few palms in the grass. I like that aesthetic. I have already purchased a large (12ft-ish) Phoenix sylvestris in a 45g pot which will go where the red stick figure palm is. I know it's boring, but Phoenix has always been my favorite genus and I am satisfied by the sylvestris appearance. I am looking for some other ideas for palms to grow on the sides of the driveway, and some small ones in the space between the sidewalk and the street. The grass where the pygmy…

Are the Azores right for coconuts?

Hello all. The question remains unanswered, but we're getting closer. These two have been with me since last May, always outdoors, protected only from a couple of major wind and rain storms in December (brought indoors). They like the white washed south facing wall. While the little guy on the right is struggling and possibly on its way out, the one on the left is doing well. The winter has actually been cooler than normal, but only slightly, with the Jan monthly average at 59. Feb looks about the same. They are Dutch greenhouse specimens, so I had a tough task keeping them alive from the beginning. If either one makes it they are going on the ground in May…

My sophomore year - road to a personal jungle 1 2

As I have seen others have done I’d like to start a thread to share and follow my own palm growing experience and progress. Hopefully 10 years from now I’ll have a mini jungle to enjoy and be able to look back at the hits and misses here on Palmtalk. Early 2021 was the first year I became aware of my palm obsession and when I started growing and planting palms. I feel like you get a little extra out of the experience if you grow from seed yourself so I try to do that as much as possible however most of the palms I have were already started. So last year I purchased a 5 gal Flamethrower and (2) 5 gal Sylvesters which went into the ground and are doing well. I also picked …

Washed ashore germinated Nypa fruticans seed - update...

Hi, as some of you may remember, an already germinated Nypa fruticans seed was washed ashore at one of our beaches this year's July. Because I have never seen one of them before and wasn't sure about it at all, I asked the palm community for an ID... ..and got it ID-ed within hours. Thanks a lot again! Since this is truly a very seldom find on our island, I will to do my best to make it happy. I have still no idea how to deal with it when gaining real size but there will be a solution one way or the other. Until then, here are some shots taken during the last few weeks... Day one - it was almost boiling at the…

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…

Yearly palm sprouts! Identification?

I think it’s a type of washingtonia as they are pretty much like weeds here but just want to know. Their seeds are everywhere here even on sidewalks. Picture 1 are the two new ones. Pictures 2 and 3 are pictures of a Washingtonia that I have never watered or given nutrients to but has been growing at a snails pace since 2022. Picture 4 is one that I thought was gone but has shown new green growth, it originally sprouted last April.

What is happening to my king palm?
by Rich Amooi- 1 follower
- 4 replies
- 108 views
Happy Monday! Something weird is happening to our king palm. We planted these 6 years ago. First there is a gaping split going up one side, it is pretty deep. The other new thing that just happened is that large growth on the side. It is like two inches thick. As you can see by the photo, the smaller palm on the left has had problems as well. What do you think is happening? Is that pink rot? For reference, we live in San Diego, California. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I am new to this site and glad I found it. I live in Marco Island Florida and can’t figure out why my fan palm is dying. I have 4 palms and have had to cut trunks off of some of them in the past due to browning leaves. This time the issue seems to be affecting the entire tree. The palms were planted a couple years ago. Any advice would be appreciated!
