Garden shots - 2019

[Gbarce]

I took over the garden way back in 2006 ( I think) but I think I decided to turn it into a Palm Garden in around 2010.

I like the way the garden is taking shape.  The  "canopy palms" are beginning to look the way I was imagining them,  I just need them to create the shadier micro-climates for all the under-story palms too.

I was aiming for a good contrast of colors and "textures".  My only regret is that with some of my palms I overcrowded them too much.  I underestimated how big they would get

Gene,

Thank you for posting - awesome looking palms, especially the C. fallaensis and your L. saribus in the last photo (if I got it right).

Best regards from Okinawa -

I started out giving palms a lot of clearance, a minimum of 2-3 feet between the maximum outer diameters.  When they are small it looks really sparse.  Once the bigger palms start trunking I think you'll like it!  For example that Fallaensis is crowding the Trachy, but in a year or two it'll start growing over the top and in a few more years it won't be crowding it at all.  The Triangle is already outgrowing the Coccothrinax around it, I think in a couple of years the crowding will clear up.  Besides, right now it's a great jungle look!
