I have had some credit at Phils place (Jungle Music) and finally went to get some stuff a couple weeks back.

First up, a biggie and an experiment.

A Masoala madgascarensis and a nice big Syagrus amara in a 5 gal!!

Oh yes, it should be:

Fun Finds at Fills Phils.

But I guess you can't do that fancy stuff in the title...

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Heres another big experiment. Dypsis betamponensis? I decided it would have better luck in the ground than in a pot outside.

Dang Bill, you must have hidden those things so good that Juaquin couldn't find them to give them some water. Those are the rattiest JM plants I've ever seen. Definitely not typical of the stock that Phil has. I guess he was getting them ready for your place. (Yes, snark)

Thanks Bill, I rolled down the very  steep  Dypsis rd  I really did, I tripped on some lantana and down I went}  to check on the smallest Maso and alls  good.

Bill, I know words have different meanings here in Oz to the US, but stupid it may  sound , but I was trying to end the sentence  with a little humour.Pete

Moles in Oz are Ho's and rooted means youve had sex with, which your Vole didnt as it ate the roots of yr Masoala, not had sex with it :)
