And chinese fan palm trunk... which while it turned out ok, wasnt as good as i had hoped 

[Missi]

Awesome!! I brought home several logs of a royal palm trunk to put in my chicken pen for them to jump around on. It surprised me how long they lasted!!

Queen palm .... i dont think queen palm is a good candidate seems to break down quicker

These look really good! I like the natural textures of the trunks with the bromeliads.

I too am already ready for spring already

That's a unique and ecologically friendly way to grow bromeliads.

I have at least two big dead (from Hurricane Maria) Royals I should cut down.

I had actually been toying with planting broms in the remaining trunks and like your planters too.

I have seen a picture of a trash can made of a section, but that seemed disrespectful for such a big lovely palm killed in its prime.

By the time I find someone who is skilled with a chainsaw and wanting the work maybe I’ll figure it out. Out of my league with my sawzall.

too cool. I am looking for just such ideas for orchid and bromeliad mounting in my greenhouse

[Alicehunter2000]

Well that certainly is interesting and cool

Wherever in Middle Earth do you secure these wonderful planters?
