Howdyall:

Got a lot of work in the garden done yesterday, and well, kick back, Miller time and alla that and out come the digicam and paper bags.

Roystonea oleracea is really starting to get huge.  The abscissed leaves are bigger than the palm was when first planted.

Nice trunk on that Roystonea to the right.

The unknown botanist in the middle looks to be wearing low rise converse.

Dang Dave!  That Roystonea is turning into a monster....just the way I like'em!  The leaf scars are really far apart.  Is it growing faster now that it's formed a bit of trunk?

Dave,

Can you post the picture of the royal when it was first planted(the one with bag and red shoes).  I want to see the comparison of before and after.  BTW, can you also tell the time span between the two pictures?  That royal is looking very stunning!

So that's why they call them royals. Very impressive Dave, yeh, let's have a gander at the before and after.

Happy Gardening

Palm looks good from the before and after. The Bag head is interesting, but whats up with the ground?

 Is there a serious problem with earthworms or maybe groundhogs in the ground there? :P
