I say pass on the palm and fill it with ice and beer!

 

Or, do that, then, when the party's over, plant the palm. The ice will melt.

Hmm. Maybe find a volunteer for the grave?

You need a headstone, man. Carve a tiki for it!

If it will be filled with beer the place could be reserved for me …

Jube!

[Cindy Adair 2,750]

The Jubea would inspire me to create such a place of honor among the choices for California.

It is one of the few palms I love that I don't think I could properly grow either in PR or Virginia. It is fun to guess and this thread made me smile!

[palmfriend 1,511]

Funny thread!

The Jubea seems to be the hottest candidate so far, but is it really possible to remove/relocate 

a 50 year-old Jubea safely? In my imagination, it must be gigantic....

However, I am looking forward to the riddle's solution. 

best regards

 what a glorious sight 

it took 4 days to dig the mother Fer out of its old home. notice that part of the driveway is still attached and a 21/2 main line is still in the root ball

[Josh-O 2,708]

making its grand entrance down the pathway 

[Josh-O 2,708]

that hole was 7L X 5W x 4D

Bob dropped by (pogobob on palm talk)

 Bob decide to cruise the pathways system while we were working our ASSES off.lol

[Josh-O 2,708]

 its 22' tall planted out height. we had to cut off over 5 main stalks to dig it out of the last garden. this was by far the toughest dig and planting to date at my "Vista garden" botanical wonderland. thanks for playing along and for participating on this fun thread

[Monòver 1,068]

 AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

Amazing!!!!! Where do you find this jewels??!!

[palmfriend 1,511]

Josh,

absolutely great and it looks really nice!

With all the driveway still attached it most have been heavy like a tank!(or almost)

It`s a beautfilul palm and I think it really fits in!

Thank`s for the funny day.

best regards

Dear Josh.......Super !

Love,

Kris.

 

[Cindy Adair 2,750]

It looks great! Totally the opposite of what I have mostly done.

You go to great lengths and work very hard to install gorgeous big palms. And like the newest Singapore Garden it shows!

I take a serrated trowel and dig a tiny hole for tiny palms. And then wait. And wait. And wait.

And plant more seeds in pots like I did yesterday. And wait some more.

Congratulations!

Yes Cindy,

We both are impressed by this Gardens by the Bay, no need to go to Singapore anymore! 

and I too wait and wait and wait. Recently my tiny palms have been under heavy rain, we'll see how they did that.

Oops, that was weird.....didn't see the rest of the tread.  I think a queen would still be nice though.
