Interview with Ken Johnson

Yes fishing is something I do as i have time. About twice a week. Stone Crabs are my specialty these days. I even took MattyB and Pohonkalapa with me once. Paul has a big problem :sick: but he hung in like a champ.

I have been crewing on a 55' sport fish for a few years now and have seen many sailfish and tuna. We don't eat the sails but guess what happens to the tuna? Sushi, seviche, tataki. All good stuff. Raw fish is better than cooked in my book. The best fish I ever had made into sushi was Wahoo. My son landed a 55 pounder one day while fishing for dolphin (dorado, not the mammal).

The Stone Crabs get stored for a big party twice a year where we eat raw oysters and the girls bring lots of bread, cake and cookies! Poolside with salt on the rim of our drinks.

Years ago I posted a picture here of me in the water with a whale shark. It was a small one. About 4 thousand pounds! We were in 1200' of water with no land in sight. Friendly fish!

Thank you John for that ambient interlude, question Ken on palm growing at home. We all know that gardeners and their assistants at botanical gardens and professional palm nurserymen all have the time and a much gathered database of superior knowledge from sheer experience of how to manage growth and planting of palms including the ongoing maintenance, the fertilising methods and techniques, natural manures, herbicides, the art of mulching, what types of mulch to use, what breaks down best, how to apply, the drainage suitability and adaptability concepts, what best potting mixes to use for which species of palm, and when to pot up palms, which species behave better with the varying pot sizes, all about the soil types and how they can be adjusted to suit particular species and ....oh s$#@, I've forgotten the question. :huh:

Happy Gardening

Cheers,

Following on from most of what I said previously, do you see that anyone with enough basic knowledge, should be able to grow themselves a wonderful tropical appearing palm garden, with palms that match their own climate ?

Secondly what groups of palms do you recommend should be placed together for that tropical look, given say the usage of a group of 5 different species. This could then be duplicated with a further group of 5 and another etc, mixing fan palms with pinnate. Using a sub-tropical climate as guide.

Happy Gardening

I think I can combine the questions to ask..How can a palm lover design and build a tropical palm garden either with a small budget or a large one and enjoy it for years to come?

I have seen here on Palm Talk pictures of many of our members gardens and I can tell you some of them have it figured out. There are many styles and approaches from the "Velez" look, crowded together, all the way to the minimalist approach with many palms of just a few species but several things remain in common. Choice of palms for your area is one. Final heights after 5, 10 , and 20 years of growth is another. Function of the design is a third. Just to start with the basics.

When choosing the palms one important rule is not to "zone push". Try to stick with the tried and true palms for your Temps. and soil type as well as rainfall amount. Palms that die easily are of little long term use. At the same time you may not want common palms so searching for the oddities may be your focus too. If you are starting from seed or from full sized plants check and double check that you are getting what you think you are. Many palms mimic each other so it is easy to get mixed up.

Once you have a "pallet" picked out you can then see how they may fit in your garden. Remember that they grow up. You must think ahead or you may for example plant that cute little Bismarkia near the front door only to see it consume your house. A quick lesson or two on design from a book or professional is a good idea for the more serious garden. This is where you use lots of imagination to "see" the future garden.

Function is sometimes hard to understand but it refers to things like shade, wind blocks, visual suggestion ( for example how a person who knows nothing about palms feels when they see your garden), visual blockers (hiding the fire hydrant for example), hand holds to balance in a sloping garden, bird attractants, using the smell of the flowers for a specific area and more.

Now what about the extreme gardeners, ones that use hot houses and such? Don't worry, the same rules apply you will just have more work and be busier. The pallet of palms you can grow will be larger and weather you want palms everywhere or you have just a few types your options are expanded. You may want to collect just the rarest or most colorful or even the most odd.

I have seen it all and the good ones have one thing in common. Healthy palms. Keeping your garden healthy can be tricky so studding fertilizers and other maintenance tips can be crucial. It may help to tour gardens with you local group and look for the healthiest palms and ask the grower what they are doing. They will tell you I'm sure as we all like to share so see what style of maintenance you like. If you have a few extra bucks get a soil sample analyzed at the local lab both before and after a year or so to see if you are getting the nutrients in the correct ratios.

Theres some basic stuff Wal. I am always here in this forum and myself and many others try to answer questions so much of the research can be done right here. Ain't Palm Talk Great?

I was born in 19archontophoenix as the seasons warmed. I had blonde hair as a child until my father cut it off, and sold it to buy pumpkin seeds. I have never been able to look a pumpkin in the eye since. I was an only child, apart from my sisters and brothers and learnt to fend for myself as I was never befended. Enough of me, let's see some photos of Ken.

Oh, what is this "Stone Crab Party" all about ?

Hi again Ken, your tree transplanting skills seem to be at another level from the norm, would you say that it helps to have a little green thumb, a pinch of magic passion for the world of palms and flora generally. Not something that anyone can come along and do, you would have to feel the love...so to speak. Care to comment ? And what about the Stone Crab festival ? sounds fun, how long has this being going on ?

Happy Gardening

The short answer is yes Wal I do have a passion for transplanting. I have shown that indeed any palm can be transplanted and have found ways to 'read" the palm during the transplant so that I know I will be successfully. It is very much like being a doctor but plants are the patients. (malpractice insurance is cheaper too).

The people I meet in this profession are some of the best there are. In both buying and selling I have found people that are friendly and courteous. Even here on Palm Talk I find such folks and it makes working with palms a pleasure.

Here are pix of me on the 55, a big stone crab and a Copernicia bailyana transplant.

The stone crab parties have a short guest list. To get in you need to have 5 traps, chip in for gas and go out twice a month.

So, Ken, do you knit your own crabbing gloves? Something to do while waiting for hurricanes? Hey, you might have a hurricane story or two, no? With or without palms?

Ken, as a wet-behind-the-ears Director for the IPS, I take your comments about the importance of PalmTalk very seriously, and I appreciate it that someone of your standing among palm people of the world understands and stands up for the great value of PalmTalk to the future of the IPS. I salute you! (Reference post #s 37 and 38 if you missed it, folks.)

This is great fun, Ken and Wal, you guys are superstars. :winkie:

How do roots respond to being cut?

How does the palm survive with less than 10% of its roots?

Are you a crab hugger or do you take both claws...

I've always heard your supposed to take just one so it can defend, and regenerate..

But I've never seen that in the FWC regs...

I take 'em both.

Have you heard about Blues going no harvest... Imagine that.

They've amended their website...

I reckon you can...

This is drag n drop'd from their page @ http://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/regulations/stone-crabs/

"

Can both stone crab claws be harvested?

Both claws of a stone crab may be harvested lawfully if they are of legal size. Although it is currently lawful to harvest both of a stone crab's claws this practice leaves the stone crab with few alternatives to defend itself from predators.

Although the crab can still obtain minimal amounts of food with no claws, having one claw (if the other one is harvested) will enable the crab to obtain greater amounts of food in a shorter amount of time. Stone crabs (like other crustaceans) have the ability to grow back their claws, but this process requires a large amount of energy in the form of food.

The quicker the crab can obtain the energy required to molt and grow its lost claw, the sooner this renewable delicacy will have another claw to replace the missing claw.

Wow we have a guest interviewer too. I will answer a few now and the rest later.

About the roots responding to being cut. I have posted here info from UF about palm research they have done and some people have been leery of the published results. I understand this as the conditions in the "lab" may be different that your conditions and that can make a difference in the results. I mention this because one of the widely believed results ( I believed it to for a while) was that all roots die all the way back to the trunk when cut. This was shown by UF researchers in Sabal palmetto. They did a lot of work on Sabal because there is a huge industry in transplanting them from the wild and info on how to keep them alive is good for that industry. Well I made my own observations in real world conditions (South Florida "soils" are brutally poor.)and found that after cutting the roots and leaving the ditch open that when I returned 4-5 weeks later and dug back toward the trunk, following a root, I found the root alive and branching about 10 centimeters back from the cut.

I'll be back with more after this quick break. Wal, can I get a drink?

I do know that palms send out new roots from the trunk. I do not know how many and at what time but I have a feeling that when it is hot and wet more new roots are being pushed from the trunk. Also it may be able to be shown that when a palm is stressed from having its roots cut that it produces roots from the trunk at a faster or greater rate (given heat and water). Thus root pruning may stimulate root growth from the trunk. I am also pretty sure root pruning causes advanced branching of the cut roots.

Now the question of how does a palm survive with so few roots left. I have heard many people say "look how small the root ball is" Well the size is what the person digging it makes it. To get all the roots during a transplant of a big palm it would mean having a mass so big that it would not fit on a truck. Trucks are 8 feet wide and roots can be 50 feet long. So what is left is a tiny portion of the roots. So how DOES a palm survive with so few roots? The answer is that it barely does. In fact it is so close to death that any mistake could kill it. So how do we get away with it so often? When the palm is root pruned it will start to use its reserves of water and food that are stored in the trunk. (I have seen the trunk get thinner from this)The palm also starts to shed a leaf or two prematurely. The reserves must be used to push new rots and to branch cut ones.So whats happening is that during root pruning we are conditioning the palm for its transplant. When the day comes to shift it the palm will have enough new and healed branched roots to get a new start and to start building reserves again. The trunk will thicken during this period. If the palm is moved too quick or gets dry and cold it can kill the palm in just a few days. All that being said sometimes a palm can be moved right away with a poor root ball and still live. Why? because it has just enough stored reserves to get some new roots going. This sometimes causes a skinny spot in the developing trunk from it being stressed so much.

I have transplanted some palms that some people told me can't be moved, includling a parajube tor tor (tor-tured? :blink: )

Those new roots that come out after the trenching are like snakes, poised to strike . . . .

Hello viewers, hello Ken, you're looking sharp tonight, great shirt by the way. A couple of final questions for you Ken, we need to wrap this up as there are a couple more palm legends waiting in the wings to continue this interview series. I would like to mention at this point that people have been tremendous in acknowledging and appreciating this idea of ours and we only hope you come back and visit as more Palm identities will be interviewed here soon on PT TV.

I know it can very difficult to formulate one's own top ten favorite palm listing, but I wonder if you could humor the audience by giving it a go. So Ken, would you be so kind as to list in order your top ten favorite palm species, choosing palms from and for any type of climate. In other words they may not be able to be grown successfully where you live, so it would indeed be your top ten.

Finally, what else can we do to promote palm trees for our own areas from where we sit, that is each of us here on palmtalk, from all walks of life and from many different countries throughout the world, what can we do, what can be done and what has to be done ?.

Happy Gardening

So there you go. For sure this leaves out some great looking palms but ten it is.

You final question about promoting palms, which is one of the biggest missions of I.P.S., I can say that this web site alone has gone miles toward exposing people to I.P.S. and palms around the world. We now have participants talking to each other instantly in the chat room. This used to happen only once every two years for a small group of people at Biennials and now it happens 24 hours a day every day! This is a huge advancement in spreading palm knowledge and of establishing friendships and business among palm lovers.

The posts here with pictures and descriptions are so numerous that a new palm enthusiast can come here alone and learn more about palms than I could with every book available 25 years ago. The IPS is brilliant in starting this web site! Now I never meet a palm lover that has not been here except for the newest palmophiles who are quick to go home and log on.

For the future I see local palm organizations traveling to each others gardens and having huge parties celebrating palms. People will pay to do this and their palm groups will use the money to donate to Universities for research. That research will lead to DNA studies that will guide us toward all the answers we have about palm relatedness. Also, in the future, using donated monies from palm societies, all insects and diseases that ravage palms will be understood and we will learn how to prevent their damage.

Thanks for this opportunity to answer your questions Wal. I hope that others will share their experiences here and I urge you to continue in your endeavors to promote palms and the IPS!
