Jason your place just keeps getting better and better! Looking good after getting cleaned up. After seeing the transformation of that place it's great to see how perfect so many palms grow for you.

Dypsis Leptocheillos (with a massive heel on it, which is different than all of my other Teddy Bears).  Dypsis Decipiens behind it on the left.  Beccariophoenix Alfredii on the right.

And now out into the front of the house:

Pseudophoenix Sargentii loving it's spot in full sun, near the asphalt driveway with a brick wall behind it!

Driveway lined with Pseudophoenix Sargentii and a couple Beccariophoenix.  (yes, I know these will be big one day!)

 

That's all for now.  Thanks for looking.  Happy New Year to you all.

Hi Jason, Happy New Year!  You definitely have some special juju going on there, that is a magical garden.  Excellent selection of palms, and they are growing beautifully.  Keep the positive energy going!

Awesome pics Jason, thanks for the before and after - what a difference a few years make. It's getting mighty dark there in the jungle... ! Do you happen to have a closeup shot of your D. maro?

I was surprised to look back at these and see the growth.  Of course when you're seeing stuff everyday, it feels like it's barely growing.  

It's nice to see that old photo of Balboa, our brown dog.  She passed away this past year while we were living in Uganda.  Lots of great memories of her throughout this yard.

I don't, but I'll try to take one in the next day or so.  It's nice, but not compared to yours!

Thanks Jason, let's not worry about comparisons, there are so few photos of these out there that any image is a treat. And who knows what's gonna happen to mine once it pops out of the canopy it's currently under - it'll be 1/2 day full sun and I can't plant anything around that's any faster.

Here's a couple ultimate before and after shots I just found! 

Archontophoenix Tuckerii - June, 2009 (right behind the elephant ears, the Cunninghamiana's behind it were transplants and died shortly after this pic)

December 2015 with it's first flower:

IMG_5320.thumb.JPG.97bc5f43e8b467dc5096b

And the front yard!  This picture is from September 2009, the Bismarck you see in the pot was planted shortly after this picture was taken.

December 2015, 6 years later, the exact same angle.

4 years later, kind of hard to get a good picture, next to the Foxy Lady.  Leaves are now probably 18 feet tall

I just picked up a little 1 ga Pseudophoenix Sargenti last week.  I know they are slow, but how long has yours been growing ? And was it protected from full sun in the beginning ? Just trying to get some advice on how to proceed.

Hey Brian,

I have several Pseudophoenix Sargentii, all are in full sun, no protection at all for any of them.  They are tough palms with very thick leaflets that don't burn easily.  My largest that is shown in this thread is now about 10 feet tall and just got it's first ring of trunk.  

Here's a picture of it when I bought it, it's on the far right in a 7 gallon pot.  (the 3 gallon plant next to it is the Foxy Lady that I have pictures of in this thread!)

Feb 2010

palms.jpg.f13928b06110516214f946397ea27e

October 2010, in the ground, planted on the southwest corner of our house, gets full blazing sun!IMG_0564.thumb.JPG.a5ef2094bffe8f8cbe433

And so you don't have to go back through the thread, here's the picture of it now.

IMG_5353.thumb.JPG.a9d128dad90d2ca460aa4

I will say this is the fastest one that I have (out of 7) and I think it's the location and the heat it receives being planted next to the asphalt driveway and with the brick wall behind it.

Thanks a lot.   I just finally pulled the trigger on one, seeing how a lot of people are growing it, and when I found out it does well in sun I got it.  I don't have a lot of canopy yet to plant a lot of these rare dypsis or new Cal palms so it moved up on my grow list seeing that it is very tough.  Mine is just in a 1ga pot I got from Kevin Weaver last week.  I got plenty of full sun spots so I'll find the warmest spot and throw it in the ground.  Thanks for the advice and pics.  Look forward to watching it grow.  Great thread btw, and keep up the great work.   Did you ever plant a Raphia? I'm looking into planting one.

Good job on getting one of those, the sooner the better since they are pretty slow.  Nice to hear you have a lot of sun for it. 

I do have a Raphia.  It's doing ok.  It struggles with scale and some rot on the spear, but it always pushes on and keeps going.  I'm not sure that it's a palm I would recommend.  It needs a lot of water and it hates the cold.  Although mine looks ok, I'm always thinking about possibly pulling it out and replacing it with something else.

I'm tempted to try this palm.  I live 5 miles from the Raphia at the Catamaran, and although that is an Australis, I'm thinking I might be able to pull it off. My climate is even warmer than the Catamaran being 5 miles from the coast and hardly gets below 40's at night.  Just have to find one that has been germinated from seed in CA and not HA or FL.

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!

The Catamaran palm is what made me get one.  Such a nice looking palm.  Sounds like you have the climate to pull it off!

We will see. If I can find one.  People keep telling me I need to grow some more rare palms in my collection instead of this sun hardy desert type varieties I've been planting I.E Bismarkia, Nannorops, Livistona, Kings, Foxtails. Lol.  I do have a Gigas n Chambey growing lol guess I need something more rare so why not lol.  Still long way to go just started 9 months ago haha.
