A visit to Thanthong's Palm Garden


Chanin

Recommended Posts

:drool: Last two weeks, I and my friends had visited to a great palm garden,

Thanthong's palm garden in Nontaburi province, near Bangkok, our capital city.

Most of his palm collection are about 2,000 specimens of 20 years old Coccothrinax crinita

At the entrance.

:rolleyes: My friend 'Gift' selected and bought this nice Pseudophoenix for his garden.

He also came across with this dwarf 20 years old "Old man" and got one back home.

:unsure: Sadly, because of over flooded in the market, some valueless palm here,

such as "Foxtail Palm" had to be cut off for space.

Chanin,

Thank-you so much for sharing these pictures of your friend's nusery. He has an incredible amount of Coccothrinax crinitas growing there. Is he giving Kampon some competition with these large sizes and what does he sell these for? How is the market right now for something like those?

:lol: Hi palm fanciers, after planing the lanscape, my friend, Gift looked for some Sealing-wax palm:Cyrtostachys renda

We found them easily in our Chatuchak ornamental plant market (JJ market)

Some interesting species in the palm shop.

On a good shining day, we were ready for palm landscaping at my friend's house.

Copernicia rigida was loaded in a truck.

Excellent photos Chanin. Thanks for posting them. Your friends house is going to look even better when all those palms settle in and take off in that Bangkok heat.

Chanin,

It's nice to see such large palms going in and some real beauties too. I hope he cleans the water in the pool next. :lol:

Wow... instant garden. I wish I could afford big palms like that, that is if I could find them first.... Sealing wax as big as that would cost at least $300 ea here.... Post photos when the landscaping is done please...

Brilliant thread, do you treat the transplanted palms with any liquid fertiliser to get over the shock ? Perhaps they don't suffer shock in that climate.

Happy Gardening

I really enjoyed this thread. :lol: Thanks a lot for posting them. It reminded me when I was doing my garden a few years ago.

By the way, those sealing wax palms are not normal form. It's the form we call "Kai Jae". It has more erect leaves, a nice one.

:lol: Thanks

My friend must be so glad, if he read this thread.

You would notice that 'Gift' did treat his new palms with B1 Plant Stater

that could help stimulate new root.
