uuhhh, still looking for and old pic.

But, I'm giving serious thought to dropping this in soon, much to the chagrin of El Hoagie.

You bastard! Well at least I have plenty of seedlings...

You Cali guys are crazy planting this time of year. I don't even think about it until at least April, it's still f-ing freezing outside!!

So far, in the past three weeks:

  • Three Dypsis lanceolata, 5 gallon
  • Two Dypsis lanceolata, 1 gallon
  • One Dypsis ambositrae, 1 gallon
  • A mess of ti cuttings and ti plants.
  • Costus barbatus cutting
  • And still more ti...

And now it's time to start dividing the ginger and taro.

Interesting...Even though my original image was 1.3MB, palmtalk would not take it. Now that I reduced the size, it worked fine....

So here's the pic of the palm in the pot

I planted it out yesterday, with a whole new hedge made of ti's and a large plumeria.

My logic is that it is colder in the pot on the ground than in the ground itself.

Rafeal, the triple king is not in full sun. Right now, with the weather, it's hardly in any sun at all. During the late fall and winter the location of the sun doesn't quite hit that side of the house that often.

come summer, it will be protected from the sun until about 11:30am-12:00. Then it's going to get blasted with sun for about 3 or 4 hours, then part shade until 5 or 6 when sun drops down below my neighbor's house. I'm hoping with ample water and the other palms i'm planning on planting around it, hopefully it will get just enough protection and do well!

Thanks for the kind words, i really agree. Right now this has to be one of my favorites. Nice and tropical, just the way it ought to be!

Bill,

Is that a Livistona victoriae in post #19? I've got a seedling thanks to the Hoagmeister, but dang dude that thing is cool! Wanna trade? Come on, you know it'd be much happier over here in the heat. Need a D. lanceo-nada?

Got lots of palms to plant this season. Purchased a 20 gal D. lanceolata for my annual Vietnamese New Years purchase. It will be going into the ground in a week or two. Would post pics, but am having a lot of problems uploading.

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!

I won't lie to you Randy,

I had some help. A young buck who's still wet behind the ears, and a pair of geriatrics aided me in putting the Washy and the Canary in the ground. Might have been better off seeking assistance from loiterers in my local home depot parking lot....

P.S. what do you think about that Jubaea? post-4118-12669846526069_thumb.jpg

Nice lancey, Joe. is it sun acclimated much? It doesn't look too stretched out.

Those red ti plants have some nice hight to them.

David - Will take any excuse to buy a palm.

Vince - The lancey will definitely burn off those tender leaves. I've got it in full sun and expect the fronds/leaflets to shorten up once it acclimates. Those Ti's are called "Onomea's". I have found that cultivar to be a winner for coastal southern California. I have around 10 variety of ti's now, and those are by far my favorite.

I think your triple cunn. will be ok then!

I have made focus on that one, because i have one double, bigger, but not yet in the ground (i am in zone 9b, with maritime climate, and some few episodes of frost), i am studyind the right place on the yard...

Planted a few things today. It felt good to work in it instead of cleaning the winter havoc(wind,rain,hail etc).

What did you plant?

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.

Here's some pics of the first plantings for me from last Saturday. By Sunday another 6 palms were planted and today I aim to plant several more, stay tuned bossanova fans, we're dancing in Beerwah tonight.

Silver Bismarkia, Yellow Latania and a lil' green bizzie lady I invited in, I hope she stays. I did mulch them all after the pic on top of some sheepish manure.

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.

I love posts like this, everyone is so different!

Nice planting there Peter.... Let me know how your C. zebrina going... That is one palm that I have no luck with...

We are getting probably our monsoonal burst this week... so probably the last chance to plant before the hit and miss storm and then dry season kicks in... So, let's see what I am planting this weekend.... hhmmm... probably Mauritia :)

I was bored last week so I put this baby to bed! I also believe the roots would be better insulated inground than in the disolving pot it was in. the "cooler" weather is a my time to dig new beds. :)

I went to get 3 Chambys today from Claytons and I came home with 2 Chamby macs, one Archo alex, one Euterpe edulis and a carpoxylon. This just shows to go, you never never know, if you never never go, and if ac/dc are in town, you never never know what palms you might acquire. Photos soon.

Thanks to everyone who has posted pics in this thread. It's great to see what everyone is working on. I made a few early birthday purchases this past week or so. A couple of which have already been planted out. The rest will be planted out as soon as I can get the planter areas ready for them.

Below palms were from Cycads N Palms in Fallbrook. Thanks George!

BEERWAHEART

Scene 22:

The large invading palms of the potted transplant palmies, led by the evil Beccariophoenix, (why everything in this drama begins with the letter "B" is beyond me), line up and face the first planted species of Beerwah,including the young but brave Bizzie and his family of friends. The home palmy stand tense and frightened and ready to pull out and go back to the nursery when out of the blue, the lunatic who is on the grass, mad max beyond thunderbox, the bravest dog in Beerwah, picks up a dead frond in his teeth and runs in front of the trembling Bizzie boys and barks loudly:

The invaders, led by Beccario the Bad

Due to heavy downpour, I only managed to plant one palm yesterday, a palm I've never been confident in knowing. I purchased this as Dypsis sp.mayotte, you may recall, anyway, it is finally planted in open spaces and man does it have a vivid white shaft on her, like a footy sock. It has different shorter stubbier leaflets to a lanceolata so I don't know what it is for sure and certain but I'm glad I have it.
