Today, I travelled around Bangkok to take some photos of different C. renda forms. I visited a nursery that claimed to have 9 forms so here are some pictures of them. I didn't take all forms they have because I couldn't see much different in some of them. If anyone also have different forms to show, please do so... Enjoy!! C.renda "Apple"

Hi to all, palm mate. Finally, after three year after I sowed them, I can show some of my palms. They are still to young to be compared with the beauties all of you posted in the forum, but it's a starting point. Brahea Edulis in the right and Livistona Decora/Decipiens in the left (both sowed in 2010). Sabal Mexicana on the right and Trachycarpus Sp. Nova from Garry seeds (both sowed in 2010) Phoenix Dactylifera Ameri from M@x, P.D. Medjool, P. Canariensis (from back to ahead on the right side) and Livistona Chinensis on the left (both sowed in 2009) Sabal Palmetto on the right and Livistona Australis from M@xon the left (both sowed in 2009)

Last night something decided to eat my cluster of chamaedorea metallica's. I have had lot's of opossom's a few raccoons years ago and some squirrels but have never seen any damage. There were 9 plants there before the carnage. Completely ate one of my split leaf metallica's. Any ideas of what decided to put them on the menu last night?

severely overtrimmed Sabal palmetto
by Eric in Orlando- 2 replies
- 650 views
This Sabal palmetto is along my route to work. It was cut in half a few weeks ago, a wild sprouted seedling. I noticed it was growing back a couple weeks ago, even has an inflorescence emerging. I would have thought they had cut below the bud, guess not. Shows how resilient Sabal palmetto is. First notice where it sprouted and grew and then for surviving being sawed off.

Sevin dust on seedlings?
by JLM- 2 replies
- 285 views
I have noticed something has been eating on things in the container garden, whatever it was targeted the peppers first, then the onions, and now my washingtonia seedlings. Can this be applied to palm seedlings without risk of damaging or killing them? If not this, what other solutions are there? They have been snacking on them little by little every night.

Sewer line replacement/removal of D. baronii… advice needed
by ExperimentalGrower- 1 follower
- 10 replies
- 422 views
Folks, I’m in a bit of a situation I’m not sure how to handle. Turns out I need a section of my sewer line replaced. As misfortune would have it, the section cuts through a bed I planted about 3ish months ago, forcing me to temporarily dig out a Queen and Dypsis baronii. I’m not really worried about the Queen, but I’m concerned about how my baronii will handle being removed, then replanted in the same spot especially since it’s nearly October. Any advice on how best to do this?

sewing directly into pots
by MattyB- 12 replies
- 1k views
Took an awesome trip to Bob deJong's place today and collected some Syagrus 'abre ojos' and Ropalostylis seed. I don't want to clean them so can I just sew them a few inches down in soil in pots and keep it moist? I'm pretty sure that I can do this with the Ropalostylis because that's what my uncle did and had hundreds of seeds just pop up. It's the Syagrus that I'm a little worried about because there's so much juicy, sticky fruit. Will this just rot away first and then the seed will germinate later? Or will the emerging radicle, or even worse, the entire seed get rotted out? Should I bury the seed or just leave it on the surface? Note: the Syagrus 'abre ojos' is…

SEX CHANGE
by PalmGuyWC- 5 replies
- 942 views
At the risk of raising the ire of our moderator, I've used that forbiden word. I have a Trachycarpus wagnerianus thaty has bloomed for the first time. It had about 8 inflorescences and at first it appeared the palm was a male. Later on when the flowers aborted, I noticed the upper inflorescences were setting seeds. Normally, Trachs. are dioecious, either male or female, but I've noticed this a couple of times on others too. I have noticed this on a Chamerops and on a couple of Rhapidophylums. In the case of the Rhapidophylums, one year they might be all male, then another the lower flowers are female and on the same inflorescence.

SEX, SEX, SEX!!!

A cheap shot to get your attention, but I bet it did. I finally sat down with Patrick Schafer the other day, and we made a list of of the cocoid hybrids that's he's achieved in the past few years. Some of the crosses have been more sucessfull than others. Some produced dozens of hybrid plants while others have been a complete failure. Some crosses only produced a couple of seedlings. For the most part the common denominator has been with Butias and Jubaea which adds cold hardyness to the hybrids. Butia seems to be the most receptive to hybridization, but not all Butias. Some seem more receptive to hybridization than others....and some will not accept pollen from ano…

Sexing Palms with DNA
by oliver- 3 replies
- 668 views
Question for the plant biologists out there. I know that species of palms are starting to become classified according to DNA, but how hard would it be to determine the sex by DNA analysis. It would be nice to know what sex a seedling is before buyiny it. This would be applicable to a number of palm species, but would be really nice for other expensive plants such as cycads. Phil could jack up the price of his baby Microcycas if he knew it was a female, and knew I had a male. Same goes for palms. A dealer could easily justify increasing the price on a pair of Bismarkia for instance, if they were known to be male and female.

Sexual propagation of Chameadorea radicalis
by John Case- 6 replies
- 638 views
The title sounds more exciting than the subject. I have 2 sets of seeds produced by my little groves of Ch. radicalis. The first set of 132 seeds were allowed to dry on the tree, the fruit turning into a husklike material that was a bit problematic to remove. The resultant seeds were brown to black and a little smaller than the second set of seeds. They are now soaking in room temperature water and will be for the next few days. The 2nd set of 202 seeds were removed from the rachis, the fruit removed (a much easier operation) and set to dry for the same period as the more ripened seeds are soaking. Both sets of seeds were washed with all of the remaining husk/fruit remov…

Greetings again. I've read through the threads regarding sexing inflorescences, but I'm never quite sure, so I thought I might run a few images past you folks for your expert comments. Here is a Chamaedorea klotzschiana, that seems to bloom year-round: and a close-up of the inflorescence: Male or female?
