I have a bizmark palm that spear pulled on me 2 weeks ago. I poured peroxide in the crown and it’s pushing up a new spear. When is it ok to water this palm? I thought I read somewhere to not water a palm when it’s in recovery mode from rot and spear pull.

I bought this palm in Beaumont TX from a nursery. The owner said it had experienced 6 degrees and was left outside. I paid $50 for a 10 gallon. It had fried fronds but showed signs of life. I was hoping it wouldn’t die but I knew it was a gamble with this palm. I had marked it a few days ago with blue marker to see if it moves and it appears the middle frond has slightly grown. I planted it in its new home here in zone 8b south Alabama.

Bizmark spots
by Almisa- 8 replies
- 285 views
Anyone have suggestions on these spots on my recovering (from winter) B.nobilis? I am glad it did not defoliate this year, however, does it need some attention? Also, some hot yellow streaks. I just cut off the worst fronds this morning even though they still had color, afraid that a fungus was starting. One of the new leaves opened with very browned tips, which may have been a hold out from winter damage - but any other thoughts is appreciated. I sprayed the entire plant and hearts with copper fungicide.

Couldn’t believe my eyes for sale at a nursery here in zone 5b while visiting. My sister bought it for her expansive garden but I told her it will likely need to come inside before the end of fall because 30 degree days are common then. Thoughts?

Results are in. 3 queens, 1 dead, 1 with a nasty spear pull today in photo, one with a deformed spear. Bizzy, all look the same. Bizzy is in photo, some foliage damage which has already been removed. No spear pulls or loose spears. They have been producing new fronds over the last month. No protection for any specimen, Bizzy wins in my yard.

Hi everyone, Our first cold front moved in bringing temperatures of mid 30s at night for a couple of days. This is my palm's first winter being outside in the ground. Since it's raining this morning I thought I would take a look at my washy. Black dots all over the petioles. What exactly am I dealing with? A disease, cold temps ? I don't have much experience with palms .

Black spots on Mule palm frond.
by Desert Badger- 2 replies
- 315 views
This picture is of a new frond on a mule palm. The palm was hit hard by this past winter’s freeze but the fronds that survived and the new frond is growing. But the new frond from the heart is very droopy and has black spots (see picture) that wipe off. There also were a number of ladybugs (what I call them) inside the frond as well. So, are the black spots a fungus or mold? Caused by an insect? If so use a neem oil or similar? Or nothing to be concerned about as it is growing. Thank you for your insight ahead of time!

Blackened Trachy inflorescences
by WSimpson- 2 replies
- 208 views
I knew that on March 12th ( Low 25F ) and on March 13th( Low 23F ) , that my male Trachy inflorescences would get burnt . There will still be plenty of pollen from the non-burnt parts but the tips were exposed to the cold when tender . The only issue is that male Trachy inflorescences are pretty showy , especially nice outside this window in my house , and now they are pretty ugly . Before that cold on March 2nd : Today march 31st :

Bloemfontein Palm Garden
by Marius- 33 replies
- 2.6k views
My garden is situated against an East facing slope of Grant's Hill in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Bloemfontein has hot dry summers (summer rainfall) and cold winters down to -10 degrees Celsius. My garden's microclimate is more a 9b though. My lowest temperature this past winter was -0.9 degrees Celsius. The flat ( lower lying areas) recorded -9 degrees Celsius. I moved into this house about 3 and a half years ago. The beginnings of the garden was cleaning up and eradicating alien invasive species and weeds. I started in the back and concentrated on South African indigenous plants. Now that that is settled I'm starting to add palms. The front and sides are now onl…

Blooming Mule
by Manalto- 10 replies

I planted my 3 gallon mule (from Mule Palms of Mississippi) in July of 2018. Here is a shot, taken today, of what appear to be three inflorescences emerging from the trunk. (Is it correct to call the main stem a trunk?) My baby's all grown up! My understanding is that any seeds produced will are likely to be sterile, should I remove the inflorescences so the plant can direct its energy into growth? Your advice is welcome.

Hey guys, While at a nursery here today I came across a 3 gallon Butia and picked it up. The fronds seem to spiral clockwise which is weird, and twist a little. It also appears blue/glaucous to me. Thoughts? Is this odorata? It was labeled capitata but we all know about that.
