Spring is almost upon us in this part of the world and I'm getting excited to start planting. Here's my first two palms on deck for planting. Show me yours.

Dypsis baronii/onilahensis type on the left (notice there is no petiole) and Dypsis Cabadae X Decaryi (I think) on the right.

Sounds awesome Steve lets see some pics. My secret is pretty simple, I'm always on the prowl and if I come across something I don't have I buy it or trade for it. Palms are really my only vice when it comes to purchases so I don't shy away from the ones I like.

Steve I don't want want to jinx anything with the Bentinickia but I'll take some pics soon. It has been in the ground since last March or April and has been growing fast. The winter before this it was outside in a pot and looked good all winter. Bummer about the Neoveitchia.

Nick, This is the palm I am most excited about planting this year - Johannesteijsmannia perakensis. It's a trunking Joey that is also known as "Joey on a stick". I started them from seeds that were ordered from RPS in 2007. I should be able to plant it sometime in April or May when the rainy season starts again.

Your Dypsis cabadae X decaryi is going to be a killer palm!

Nick, Those are 2 killer palms. I love D.baronii's & D.oli's. What could be better than a palm that has both? Dig that cabadae mix too. I have a regular D.cab that is coming along allot better than I thought it would in Cali. The weather has been so warm lately I've been feeling like planting myself.

Great palms. Good luck.

Great palms on deck Nick! Those are ready to go for sure.

I'm still planting stuff right now (Rhopalostylis, Ravenea glauca x hildebrandii). But, I've got a few that I'm waiting on for Spring to warm up enough:

Pseudophoenix ekmanii

Copernicia macroglossa

Dypsis lanceolata fuzzy

Dypsis prestoniana

Wallichia disticha

I can't wait!

New plantings posts, my favorites. All impressive plants going in. I'm hoping to plant some palms this weekend, likely to be a few different fan palms and a Dypsis or two, will take pics.

Who else has plans to plant soon ?

Happy Gardening

Nice palms everyone.

I'll be planting a few more palms in the ground as soon as it cools off a bit and the rainy season starts. So far I've landed a couple Borassus flabelifer, from Kris's seeds and a few Syagrus from different sources. Still too warm and rather dry here for other palms...

I am getting an early start. Today I planted a chambeyronia houailou I got from Shon yesterday, a ravenea xerophylla and added a bunch of stuff to my succulent garden. If I can find the motivation I will take some pics tomorrow.

Go for it Nick! But I am surprised you are waiting. Didn't you say you plant year round?

But heck, I'll bite. I think I'm planting this guy in a little while....

umm, looking for pix of the others.

I planted a Rhopalostylis Baueri a couple of days ago and a Hyophorbe Verschaffeltii. Both were in 5 gallon pots. I'll post pictures soon of what I've done so far. My wife and I bought our house as a foreclosure last spring, so all of last year I was fixing up the house, building fences and figuring out how I wanted the yard. This week I am covering some large sections of the yard with 30% shade cloth and I'll be planting a lot of stuff under that to protect the new plantings from the summer sun. I have almost no canopy, so that will do for the time being and help everything acclimate a bit.

Your right Bill I do plant almost year around. In Jan I planted a 15g Hapala and two weeks ago I planted a Pinanga sp Thai Mottled. Usually I will not plant the tender stuff till late Feb or March but this year I've been breaking all my own rules.

Here's a couple I've already planted, (couldn't wait until spring, not a shred of patience with me!) Large 20 gallon reclinata, (doing much better than my previous.., and large 12' tall washy. I'm waiting until a good solid week or weeks of warm weather before the Bizzy and Juby in pots go in, and finally, a 20 gallon Canary that's already pretty darn big. Can't wait til summer when these pups take off!

Beautiful Joey, wish we could grow those here.

And I wish I could grow Ceroxylon, Howea and Rhopalostylis. :)

I guess I have a similar growing problem as Jeff in Costa Rica. MY Ceroxylon amazonicum perished, Howea is on the downhill (doesn't look like it will make it) and as a result I'm almost afraid to try a Rhopalostylis. Those are 3-beautiful palms that are best suited to cooler (but not cold) climates. They certainly don't thrive or even grow in most tropical zones unless you might be in a cooler micro climate zone. I did see a few rather tall Howeas growing infront of Bank of Hawaii in Hilo but they are a bit cooler and rainier so perhaps that makes it possible.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

Give Ceroxylon echinulatum a try Al! My neighbor and I both have these growing in inland San Diego and they look perfect. In fact, my neighbor put his in full afternoon sun as a 5 gallon plant and it's doing great. I was really surprised by that. I think it might be a bit more heat tolerant than the others.
