Some Yard Pix

I thought I'd put up some pics of the yard and it inhabitants. Please forgive my mess First off - here is my only shade tree - so the only canopy there is. The Hill behind I'd love to plant some palms, but there's been two hill slides one of which went into the house, so I'm not sure about planting on it. A group of refugees from the sun the Cham. Radicalis I got from Danny... Flowering and opening a new spear

Some young Butia capitata

Here's a shot from a few years ago of some young Butia capitata palms planted out as 15 gallon size plants. From what I can see of them over the fence from the street, about 4 years onwards from this photo, they are starting to get some real height, wish I could get an updated photo, but the house got sold. https://www.flickr.com/photos/20217462@N02/5630130186/in/set-72157626400967341

some zone 10 palms in the nearby neighborhoods

Even though it was a cool day (low 60sF) I got some photos of some zone 10 palms in the neighborhood around Leu Gardens. Helps make it feel warmer. (Sorry Lee, didn't get the house with the big royals and coconuts, it was late afternoon and the sun was in the wrong spot for good photos). Adonidia merrillii and Ptychosperma elegans-planted about 10 yrs ago and all were the same size in the triple clump, P. elegans has outgrown them Adonidia merrillii- these have been growing here since the mid 90s and have produced fruit the last few years. It was loaded in summer but none now Archontophoenix alexandrae and Carpentaria acuminata- last year after one …

I saw this palm growing a couple of years and I am getting mislead because until now it's not getting any fruit and the other palms of the "same" name are always full of fruit. I thought it was the FOXTAIL PALM ปาล์ม หาง จิ้งจอก, Wodyetia bifurcata The palm is growing in the suburbs of Bangkok.

Hello, there's a person on The Sims Resource who makes custom palm trees.. I don't know if I told you guys about him xD. Most of his work is for subscribers only, and I'm not a subscriber. I don't have money to be a subscriber either. Somebody should pay $12 for 2 months for subscriptions for me > Haha, I am pretty much joking about this. I would be so grateful though... well okay, bye. i hope you liked the pictures!

Ok, so I have unreasonable expectations here, I check Palmtalk several times a day for a few minutes at the time in between my busy schedule. Each time I'm hoping to find that amazing, out of this world, unbelievable thread that is going to captivate me, blow me away. Of coarse that rarely happens and I keep following the same posts that are mildly interesting with a real gem every once in a while. So what do I expect anyway? I don't know, but here are some ideas. "Palms on Mars" "List of Most Annoying Palm Talk Posters" (totally inappropriate but man that would be funny) "Newly Discovered Palm Species, Crown Shafted, Hardy to 0 F, Fast Growing, Soil Tolerant, Heat…

Someone beat me to it
by cbmnz- 2 replies
- 330 views
Thought I would make myself useful during lockdown and cycle down here to the local park and clear the ivy that I noticed few months back was completely smothering a grand old R. Sapida. But someone beat me to it. Not sure if it was the local council parks staff or a fellow citizen. If you look carefully you'll see one seedling has beaten the odds and emerged through the carpet of choking exotic ivy.

So a female palm grows flowers, and a male palm grows whatever has pollen? THen the air/birds/whatever pollinate the flowers and the flowers become seeds? So any palm with seeds is female? But all seeds are not pollinated right?

Hi everyone We know that crossing ButiaXSyagrus is a fact. But "Someone has been managed to cross SyagrusXbutia?". Today I picked up from the first two seeds SyagrusXbutia eriospatha, pollinated last year. They spent the winter in the tree, and now take the colour orange. thanks

2 winters ago I rescued this queen by cutting it down to the bud. Miraculously it fully came back to life, but now the center growth has flopped over and turning yellow, but there are 2 long, healthy looking spears growing from the sides. What is going on?

Someone in SE Texas has gone CocoNUTS!
by Jeff985- 13 replies

So I was taking my wife and son for our nightly golf cart ride around the neighborhood, and one street over from mine, I noticed five coconuts in the ground on a vacant lot. There used to be a house there but it was destroyed and abandoned from hurricane Ike then finally torn down about six months ago. They’re building five new houses across the street and someone has been doing dirt work on this lot, so I’m assuming they’re going to build a house on it. I would think they would save the landscaping for the end, and not plant coconuts. It’ll be interesting to see how long these can hang on. I wish them the best of luck. About four miles away there are a couple Adonidia tr…

A friend who knows I am into palms, just sent me an email and says I have 2 of these you can have, bring your shovel. 6' wood fence for scale. I assume this is Sabal minor. And don't they have some massive underground thing going on? So, what is ahead of me? How much do I dig? Are the roots gonna die back anyway? Do I cut the foliage back? I want these palms, somebody give me the technique, please.

This is not right. http://www.khou.com/news/local/stories/kho...ery.1e2e1c.html Burnt palm trees baffle Galveston police 11:13 AM CDT on Thursday, July 2, 2009 By Chris Paschenko / The Daily News GALVESTON, Texas — Serial arsonists have torched 30 palm trees since May, prompting a tree service owner to offer a $1,000 reward for information that leads to charges. In the early morning hours, island residents, including some who claim to have seen suspects fleeing the scene, are summoning firefighters to douse the burning symbols of Galveston’s tropical appeal. The charred trunks resembling tanned leather dot the island mainly south of Broadway at a …

A few things I dont understand: 1) why have many of the cross breeds been created by expert botanists ? (or in other words what skills do they have that a novice does not to pull this off) 2) what is the dividing line as far as which which palms interbreed ? (or in other words whats the taxonomy that controls palm cross breeding) 3) what is the reason that many more cross breed dont exist at this point ? 4) what skills must you have to experiment with cross breeding ?

I noticed the newest spear on my Dypsis leptocheilos was opening much earlier in the process of emerging than most of the others has, and just attributed it to summer enthusiasm. I just did a closer examination and noticed that it probably opened early due to the stress of something which was munching on it before it emerged. I have seen grasshoppers do damage on exposed leaves before but not down deep like this. It appears the damage was done in the heart of the palm to me, but I can't be certain. I had some damage from a very young grasshopper which I caught trying to munch on the very soft emerging flush of my Encephalartos inopinus within the last couple of weeks.…

Something amiss here..

Ive had this plant for two years now and in those two years I dont think it has grown.. The leaves have never opened right and its been slower than dirt.. Ive had it in the ground on a few occasions and for some reason its just always done better in a pot.. Well I was setting up my temporary drip system today when I noticed some yellow poking out.. Low and behold its flowering.. The plant may be old enough but it sure doesnt look big enough.. Its trunk measures maybe three inches tall.. IT also looks as though it has suckers poking through the trunk as you can see in the one pic.. Doesnt sucker like others ive seen that poke out from the base.. You can see a leaf…

This past week i was in South Florida and I noticed that a lot of royal palms had yellow or brown central spears. This troubled me because i noticed it so often that it definitely wasn't an isolated event. I haven't noticed this at all on the Royals here in Sarasota. Does anyone know the cause of this?

Something burrowing around newly planted CIDP
by newtothis- 5 replies
- 850 views
I bought and planted to 16" box CIDP that came from Cali. About a week after planting I notice every morning a little 1/4" to 1/2" hole at the base with a mound around it. I try to stab something down in it then step on the little mound and push the dirt back down, the next day it's back. I have seen Goliath beetles around here. If it was that dreaded palm weevil it would bore right into the side of the palm right? Is it too early to use some kind of systemic pest control?
