A little side yard clean up


MattyB

Recommended Posts

The rats were living in a huge overgrown mess of Ti plants and they were eating all of my bananas, so I decided to clean it all up today.  Here's some pics of the results.

Satakentia single, Archontophoenix purpurea triple, and an Allagoptera that's splitting into two.

In case anyone is interested, I planted the Archontophoenix from three separate 5 gallon palms.  I did this on purpose in order to get the gentle lean away from each other.  I find that if you plant a triple that's been grown in the same pot you get a big curve in the lower trunks and I don't particularly like that look.  I grew these from seed from Steve Huston's very purple king that was in his front yard.

How about more of your garden?

Take us out of captivity vicariously . . . .

Sure is a fine day for some yard cleaning! That sky looks like it would go "clink" if you shot a bullet up into it . . . .

Interesting as you read my mind cause I have a Triple Purpurea I am thinking about planting in front yard.  Maybe I should do it your way.

BrianK, yours will look roughly like this. If you separate them and plant them 12” apart they’ll look like mine. Just a matter of personal taste.

It’s great. I put some fertilizer on it this summer so it’s growing well
