With All that Fresh Rain yesterday, a Head cold could not have stopped me today from Diggin some holes I have been waiting to dig! I have 2 BIsmarkias I needed to put in ground and a Fresh Kentiopsis O. To put in the ground!! Courtesy of DoomsDave on the Kentiopsis! Its now in the ground! Found a half day sun spot for it!

 

With all this El Nino we are suppose to get, and this being my first Fall/Winter of planting palms, I have been wondering if getting all my Palms into the ground as soon as possible, or wondering if I should wait till after ? So  decided Ill put larger potted ones into the ground, and maybe wait on the smaller 1-5ga for spring!

In the past week, I have put 2 5ga Livistona Netida's into the ground, 2 Dypsis Pembana,  2-5ga Livistona's,  and a 5GA and 15GA Bismarkia's.. Figuring the water were going to get will help them the first season into ground. 

Still learning and having fun.

I wouldn't mind if It did! more room than you think but from all the bizzies I've seen the Frawns don't get that big until the height will be enough to were the will grow more vertical than horizontal.  Or it will be trunked by then and I can trim it vertical.   Measured 3' away.

Brian,

I agree that it’s planted too close to the fence. Here is mine and it was planted nine feet off the wall of my house, and if that frond wasn’t leaning on the Bird of paradise it would be touching the wall. Also it really hasn’t even developed a trunk yet.

I dont see anything wrong with planting very close to walls or fences. As long as you take account for how wide the trunk will ultimately be. Its not like they are Trees...

IMG_20150925_11339.thumb.jpg.62d33c08a25I always have fronds touching my house walls and window. No big deal. If it was a big deal I would just cut them off.

If the trunk ended up wider than 4 feet and it leaned on my house's roof, then I would consider that a big deal. Bizzie would get the chop:evil:

You can control the width of these and were I planted it there is no height issues.  The fence is only 6' high, by the time it gets to that height, I can trim the lower frowns.   And since i am in clay, I did not dig a super deep hole so that it will get super tall.  From all the people I have talked to that have grown many of these, they all said the ones that grew the biggest had the deepest holes.  Their smaller ones did not have super deep holes dug.  It's like limiting growth by putting it in a pot.  I might move it up a little bit as my planter is only 5' wide from fence.  I am just experimenting as I wanted one right there as its my center piece from walking outside back door.   I have even seen people build make shift circular structures around smaller bizzies so the Frawns grow more vertical.    It's all in Fun and we will see.    Since these bizzies have sensitive roots have to be careful in moving them once planted.   I have another in front yard that has unlimited circular space.   And the other I have in 15ga pot is a back up, I have a great spot for it front of house were Daniel planted his, but I have a triple Kentia that I think I am going to have to pull next year.  All my Kentias are Struggling! I bought 5 24" box Kentias as my first palm purchase and they are just struggling. Will keep everyone posted.

curious how height is an issue when the fence is only 6' and there is no obstruction vertically.  Now if you said it grew 27' horizontally I would understand your point.  But that's not going to happen.   If you went and measured your first 6' and did a circular circumference I would be curious what it is.  And the Frawns grow in about a minimum of 45 degree angle and at minimum.

I have never seen a green one in California.  Are they mostly Florida Seed? Curious.

Here's a green Bizzie for you Brian

Imo the green ones aren't as impressive as the blue silvery ones...

IMG_20150927_7295.thumb.jpg.b96ec9a3e76aNot the best picture of them but these are some of the best examples of perfectly growing bizzies around here. The one in the far right is extra blue. They are very robust and demand all the attention as you drive by.
