What’s in your Bullpen?


The Gerg

Recommended Posts

So what’s in your bullpen waiting to go in? I know most of us have plenty of potted palms around the yard or in your green house if you’re lucky enough to have one. But what is the palm(s) that you are eagerly looking for that right spot to put in the ground.

Below are a few that I’m looking for the right spot and/or waiting to redesign my front yard.

 

Kentiopsis pyriformis.

I have 15 1 gallon pots from FB sitting in the shade house trying to get use to Wai`anae after their earlier life on the rainy B. Island.   They came in at the beginning of last month and I have been waiting for October to come so I could begin to plant.  We had 2.9" of rain yesterday.  That's more than the past 3 months total.  I'll post pictures as I get them in the ground.  Gotta wait a few days as the ground is gonna be WAY to muddy to dig.

Got a foxtail. Dont pay attention to the A.merillii  on its right.  That guy is my true thermometer. No supplemental heat and exposed for the past three years.  Poor thing. It's surviving.

Seems like we all have the same decorator who recommends black nursery pots on their patios.  I like the look.  For me its 

 

Dypsis Pilulifera

Dypsis Mananjarensis

Lemurophoenix Halleuxii

Trying to find a place for Loxicoccus rupicola. Pretty much decided on where the Pinanga caesia, Pinanga maculata, Euterpe edulis "orange crownshaft," and Euterpe pracatoria "variegated" will go. I'm going to wait for the Dypsis maorojejyi to get more size before planting.

I'm a palm n00b a starting with a blank slate - front, back and sides are practically empty. I recently completed Fence Building Odyssey 2019-2020, and now I'm ready to start planting PALMS! :)

Over the last year I've collected around sixty palms.

Here's about half of the pots waiting to go in (C radicalis, D lafazamanga, D lutescens, D Pembana, P rupicola, H forsteriana, R oceana, D albofarinosa, D prestoniana, K oliviforma, and a bunch of others I don't recall):

IMG_6197.thumb.jpg.a8d84e61a13db73df16e04a3e829ff26.jpg

 

I also had the pleasure of visiting @DoomsDave a couple of weeks ago (who was very generous with his time and gave me a great tour - thank you Dave!), and this morning I finally got around to planting a D Lafamazanga and a D lutescens from Dave's compound in ground :)

@The Gerg I welcome all advice!

I had no discipline or patience. I just planted planted planted. So I’ve got situations like a beccariophoenix alfredii and a rhopalostylis sapida less than four feet apart. When they were planted at a much smaller size I was just willing to deal with it down the road. So far unfortunately they seem to be growing about the same speed. So I think it is important to consider speed of growth and mature size spread and height. I think ultimately if you have the patience you plant some larger trees to create some canopy and then go fill in between with some smaller trees that need some protection when young. 

Maybe its an optical illusion but in your picture it looks like your triangle palm is planted right up against the fence in the corner. Did you leave enough room for it to fatten up?

Great points, all around. The self-restraint factor is hard, but the ones I've planted in ground so far I've attempted to give them enough space to enjoy the palm as it matures without getting crowded out. Looks like I need to start factoring growth speeds too when planting.

I did attempt to give the palms by the fence enough space to fatten up, although on reflection I probably miscalculated that with the triangle, but we'll see :)

Nice. I’ve actually got a little potted one myself tucked away in the back corner of the yard that I need to put in the ground.

For me at the moment...mostly cycads!  I have ~90 in my nursery area and only have a spot picked for a really bizarre triple - Encephalartos Laurentianus!  A lot of the others are "small filler" like Zamia Vazquezii and stuff.  But some are monsters like Natalensis from James760.  For palms I've managed to get most of them into the ground, so the only substantial ones I have still in pots are:

Butia Yatay x Jubaea and Jubaea x Butia Yatay from Patric

Arenga Engleri - 3 pots

Attalea Butyracea and Phalerata 1 gallon

Arenga Pinnata - one that just sulked in the ground and did nothing for ~1.5 years, I yanked it and repotted it and the new leaf opened in 3 weeks.  Go figure.

Copernicia Fallaensis, Gigas, Macroglossa, Prunifera seedlings

Dypsis Pembana - tons of triple seedling pots from PalmatierMeg

Corypha Lecomtei - 3G from ChuckG

Licuala Peltata v. Sumawongii - from Redlands Nursery eBay store

Chambeyronia Macrocarpa - 2 Hookeri and 2 Watermelon 1 gallon pots.

I'm basically planted out, so I really am not sure where some of these are going...  :D

Starting to empty the "bull pen" from last months FB purchase.  Two in the ground today in the shade of an Australian Flame Tree and a Kukui Nut tree.

The "tee pee" over the Calyptrocalyx will have something mounted to give it late morning shade.  There seems to be a "hole" in my shade trees.  LOL

Greg,

you started this topic just minutes after I emptied my bullpen...

Since I am not have the luxury to buy any other palms than Arecas, bottle palms or

Ph. roebelleniis, I have to grow any other palm I like or want to grow from seed I can fortunately order internationally.

(Since I am mentioning this almost anytime my apologies in advance!)

However, when I found your thread I had just came back from the garden with a big satisfied grin because...

001-nb.thumb.jpg.ecdb5f83108c41ede3a6be1206561df7.jpg

...I had justed planted out my super-fast growing Neoveitchia brunnea (sprouted in June),

002-ll.thumb.jpg.b229ab0bc99dd46182edc6cc732940b4.jpg

...a Latania lodigessi (until now the only sprout I got) and...

003-rp.thumb.jpg.077d859533267ab045845d7d1b7661ef.jpg

 ...a hard to make out triple Attalea phalerata seedling, sprouted last spring, too.

(No worries, I will give this one more space when it grows up - hopefully...)

These fellas were the most promising during the last months (reg. leaves and roots) 

and so I decided to give them a chance to establish themselves with the remaining

summer heat which will last until early December...

However, I hope this comment still fits the bill ;) -

best regards from Okinawa -

Hah, and I thought my triple planting of Encephalartos Laurentianus was ambitiously crazy!  :D  That'll be a really interesting cluster if they all grow up together!

Says a lot about your climate that they survive.  In arizona planting small will kill it unless its a washie or phoenix.  ALmost anything else under 15gal in AZ needed part shade.  In my area of florida the sandy soil and long spring dry season will stunt many palms smaller than a 5 gallon.  I had to pull (2) small copernicia hospitas that didnt like being put in sand at 2 gallon size.  Pots retain water better near the root areas thn our soils even with ammendedments, and until the roots get some size planting means a setback.  In rocky limestone soil like miami here the rain/humidity is more consistent, its always wet so small is probably ok.

I think that this is an important point. It definitely depends on your location when you can put a seedling in the ground! I am usually very impatient as well, putting seedlings often in the 

ground when still very young while thinking getting them adjusted asap might be the best. However, my losses are still marginal - so far so so good - but there are a few ones I am treating

like diamonds: I have got a bunch of C. renda hopefuls, trying to get them through the next (their 2nd) winter and maybe I will start a "test balloon" next year, we will see.
