Dartolution 591 Report post Posted March 11, 2020 @Brad Mondel and @RJ You are correct. I got it from Phil at JungleMusic back in December. I purchased the blackburniana and a bismarckia at the same time. Ive been thoroughly happy with both and Phil's customer service. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually got a shipment on the way now =) My way of stimulating the economy and small business !!! I really wish there was more nurseries especially from Florida that would ship my way stuck in the middle haha 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dartolution 591 Report post Posted April 7, 2020 @OC2Texaspalmlvr I do as well. The 2 I ordered from Phil are excellent. The blackburniana is putting out a new leaf I noticed yesterday which Im guessing means it likes were it is. I also ordered the 1 gallon Bismarckia from him as well, and transplanted it into a very large tall urn like pot several weeks ago. I was very concerned that I damaged its roots, but since the repot it has pushed out a new leaf and that leaf is now opening. I wouldn't hesitate or order from JM again.

So what I have been doing is ordering one 5g plant plus 3 band size plants and it fits in 1 box so saves me on shipping =) This round i went 5g D.Leptechelios with Arenga Engleri , Hedyscepe Canterbuyana, Rhopastylis Cheesmanii band sizes 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You live fairly close so your shipping won't be too bad. Keep in mind he will ship up to 15G sizes of most palms to you via UPS if you want. You can freight in palms by the pallet too if you want and that really is a option for you. There is also these online hauling services that can give you a price to get your palm. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the amount of palms they were able to jam into 1 pallet was amazing haha. Definitely gives you more options size wise. Have you used these hauling services before? If so recommend any in particular? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a show on this once I believe. I think it's around .30/mile depending on who you get. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just did the math 1515 miles from JM to casa 454$ sheesh I think it was cheaper going thru Phil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hillizard 1,434 Report post Posted April 29, 2020 Along with a few of my Rhapis and Chamaedorea species, I just noticed another of my Sabal palms is preparing to bloom. This is my Sabal bermudana (nomen ambiguum: Sabal blackburniana) originally from Phil/JM. It's been in the ground less than 5 years, has no trunk but with this warmer weather is really starting to push out fronds. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexasColdHardyPalms 3,193 Report post Posted June 18, 2020 I have a blackburnia with around 4' trunk. They are very cold tolerant but very slow growing. It's been 3 years since transplanting and it still doesnt have anywhere near a full crown. We've increased the water on it this year. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one I planted has put out 3 new leaves, and working on its 4th now since planting it on March 9th. I have it drip irrigated twice a day for 3 minutes with microemmiters about 6-8 inches away from its root ball. I fertilized it for the first time last weekend with PalmGain. I've debated on posting a picture of it, but I would rather wait a full year to post an updated image to give everyone interested a good idea of the amount of growth you may get in a years time.

Dartolution 591 Report post Posted December 22, 2020 Great Blueberrys @Hillizard haha. Unfortunately we seem to be having a cold winter so far, with probably about 7-9 nights so far dropping into the 20's. I haven't noticed any damage on the blackburniana though. Other than this strange magically appearing/disappearing black spots. we have a low coming up of 21F (likely upper teens). for the first time. Im debating on whether or not to cover it or not. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
