This palm only receives about 4 hours of full sunlight, so I say it’s looking pretty good for such a little amount of sunlight.

Oh yeah.

That thing will grow and turn into a monster. More sun is better.

But, monsters will be monsters. (Like boys.)

I'm sure there will be more pictures to come.

I agree with David.. Your palms are always awesome without blemish (unlike mine lol).. as does the garden. That emerging spear is huge... the leaflets look very long too, gives it a more tropical look.

Agreed, the long leaflets look super tropical. A very nice side effect of limited sun. BTW, your cordylines look a heckuva lot better than mine. I bought several from a nursery and the tag said "full sun". Little did I know, they thrive in partial shade situations. Oh well! Always enjoy looking at your photos.

Pal Meir thanks for the smily face… :winkie:

Alice hunter thanks a lot man, I really wish you would post more of your garden you have some awesome palms and exotics.

Dave thanks, I wish I had more sun for this mule palm, but the large holly tree it’s growing under does a good job of protecting it in winter.

ArchAngle thanks for the complement. I hope you have a fantastic garden when you return back to your home state.

SailorBold always a pleasure to see you posting. I trimmed up the holly tree this spring so more light will come in, and it made a huge difference. Can’t wait to see update on yours!

Smithgn thanks for the complement. Yea, I’ve had the same experience here with plants that say full sun but then they get burnt. LOL! I have a few rhodies like that! The red cordylines are red star and are two years old.

Just a little teaser of whats to come this fall, two more photos. The big photo report this year will be in late Sept. Hope you all have some great pics to share too.

Green butia trunk looking fab.

I love trachy’s at this stage they look so good and it won’t be long till this one is over my head. The little feather palm to the right is a BxJ.

Your yard always looks so lush. Given how far north of me you are I'm still surprised to see how well the palms do in your area. Everything is such a deep green too. Nice growth on the mule given I know they love the heat and sun.
