Walk around "the nursery"

A few images of young plants around the garden. I'll look forward to the "before & after" pics some day!

The acclimation zone. A perfect area underneath a row of large Phoenix  robellinii's

Burretiokentia vieillardii in the ground for a month or so. Hasn't missed a beat.

Caryota mitis, or so I think. A freebe from a friend.

And fianally, Syagrus amara, beginning to pick up speed. Still only strap leaves, but it's working on the 3rd or 4th one this season.

Bret,

Nice pics of the "baby nursery", all of the little younguns appear to be doing well.  I can see why you question the Mitis.  All the ones I've seen have multiple trunks, maybe it just hasn't started growing offsets yet?

Won't be long and they'll all be a lot bigger, before and after shots are a great idea.

Bret.....nice selection of plants in the nursery!

FYI on the Caryota mitis....it may take a while longer before it starts to off set, but eventually all that open space there will be caryota....i had one that languished unattended until 2 years ago, and then i moved it 3 times, and it has never looked back...here in SW FL they're tuff...hope yours grows as well!

Hi quaman

You Burretiokentia is looking lovely!

Your C.mitis isnt a C.mitis at all. Looks like a Wodyetia to me....

Cheers

Bret!

Nice garden!

Yeah, that C. mitis isn't.  Aside from not suckering (though some do concededly take a lot of time to do that) the real kicker is the shape of the leaves.

Mitis leaves have a much lacier look to them, as do all the Caryotas, because the Caryotas are bipinnate.  That one's plain old pinnate.

Could be a Wodetyia, or something similar.

Alright guys, now I'm going to stare at the plant in question. It originally had 2 stalks, but one croaked. It did nothing for the first two years. It has the dark fuzzy tormentum that my Wodyetia has, but it never occurred to me, because the leaves are so flat. Nothing plumose like I'm used to seeing. But it's probably just an age thing, it being so young. Duh!!!
