Where to buy mail order needle plams?

Hello... A year or so ago, I found a mail order place in the mid west (maybe the east?) someplace. They sold needle palms, Windmill palms and some Sabal minor palms. I bought a needle palm and a Sabal minor. Now I need to buy a few more. But I can not find this palm nursery again. The prices were fine and they sold healthy palms. I live in Salem Oregon. Can anyone here refer me to this palm nursery? All they sell palms and, and just a few diffrent types. Any links or help appreciated, mraroid, Salem, Oregon USDA Zone 8 or 8b depending on who you talk to. Thanks so much.

Sabal ID and Leaf Question
by ahosey01- 5 replies
- 402 views
Long story, but I got this Sabal for free last night. The thing is big... maybe 7-8ft planted? It’s in a 15G and clearly outgrew it’s pot. Any idea on an ID? Also - can anyone tell me if those little orange spots on the leaves are indicative of disease or deficiency?

Just some pics of how the washingtonias look around town as we start to warm up coming into spring. This is after freezing rain and 19F. First pic is of my robusta. I live just west of the intracoastal waterway about 8 miles from the coast. It has a good amount of burn. Second pic is of a filibusta in my neighborhood. Looks like nothing happened. Last pics are of what looks like robusta to me but the petioles are very green so that can't be the case. It also looks unfazed

Second cold / rainy season for this cataractarum... many say its a tough grow but to me it looks happier in the rain, and had more leaf damage in the summer than when nights are dipping down to 35F. It is definitely much easier to water in the winter...

Can you even buy a pure W. robusta anymore? Every single palm I see labeled as “Mexican Fan Palm” around here has a distinct filifera appearance.

What to use for winter mulch?
by newtopalmsMD- 5 replies
- 790 views
Here in my MD 7a location I usually add about a foot of oak leaf mulch over the roots of my trachys and sabals for the winter. I have about 15 (two cubic foot) bags of hardwood mulch that I never put down this summer. Would it be a good idea to add 3 or 4 inches of this hard wood mulch over the roots of my palms instead of oak leaves? I also cut down about 10 or so musa basjoo banana tree that I cut down for the winter. are these banana leaves good for winter mulch to put of the banana stems for the winter? Thanks

So back in February I was all excited and ready to start planting things for the spring, and I purchased a "Jubaea Butia hybrid" from e-bay on impulse. Actually the listing was for "Yubaea/Jubaea Palms (part Butea)" I was a little hesitant on the ID of the plants for sale from the included photos, but I was one of the first people to bid on these and got a 10 gallon size (hybrid?) palm in the mail. I guess I wasn't too worried about the exact parentage of this plant, since I paid less for it (including shipping) than I would buying a 5 gallon size straight Butia from a local big box store. I don't think the seller realized how much it was going to be to ship a plant …

Hello guys, Can sago palm grow well & healthy in 6a provided I will take it inside for winter? Last year my sago palm lost almost all its leafs, I don't know why. Maybe it just doesn't like this climate? It was doing ok inside, just growing super slowly, but then I put it outside last year this happened (see below). As you can see, only 3 leafs left Why could it happen? And what can I do to help it recover?

Deformed Butia fronds
by palmhort- 5 replies
- 1.4k views
I have had a Butia capitata in a pot for over a year here in zone 7a, Central NJ. During the summers it sits on my back patio mostly in full sun. Suddenly last summer the fronds that were emerging were deformed, short, fuzed together and looked bad. I thought it was a nutrient deficiency so I applied slow release fertilizer during the summer with no luck. I watered more, I watered less, I put it in full sun, part shade...nothing has helped. Has anyone seen this before? I hope it outgrows this soon! Thanks!

I'll be passing through Houston on I-45 soon. Is there anywhere in the area that sells any small sizes of jubaea (or jubaea hybrids), nannorhops, or trithrinax campestris? I know these aren't run-of-the-mill palms, but I thought I would ask anyway. Thanks.

Salvaged Needle Palm in Cincinnati
by donofriojim1- 5 replies
- 1.1k views
In my previous post, I showed how a local restaurant her in Cincinnati had some gorgeous old and established needle palms that were being removed without rhyme or reason. The restaurant had 1 surviving needle palm next to a pile of "dead ones". I reached out to the owners of the restaurant and asked if I could buy the remaining needle palm off of them. They actually said that I could just take it ! On top of that, I checked the pile of "dead palms" and I found some that showed some signs of life. I salvaged those as well to see if I can get them to recover. Here are some pictures of the salvaging of these palms and the largest one transplanted to its new home.

Hybrid Phoenix (reclinata x roebelenii)
by Phoenikakias- 5 replies
- 1.4k views
I have potted up my young plants a couple of days ago, and from now on pot is about to remain constantly outdoors till to ground planting. Plants (at least one) while in cold frame took a look of roebelenii on steroids! But air humidity in the cold frame is higher and now plants have to cope with the lower humidity of open air. They will be fine but probably this will change to some extent their appearance. Anyway I found on this occasion a good opportunity to take some stills under natural day light, which capture their greenhouse look. Maybe in Florida with higher air humidity those hybrids would still retain this look...
