Done for the day.  Plantaed Cyphophoenix alba which was #5 of the 15.  Only ten more holes to dig.  LOL  That's Beccariophoenix alfredii in the same bed behind C. alba.

So what is the purpose of the block perimeter around this?  Is this in a low spot so you wanted to raise the planter up a few inches?

About 1/2 of my property is the slopes on two sides of a mostly dry stream that only flows after heavy rain.  The blocks are to creat terraces of flat land to plant on.   Good Question.20200920_144957.thumb.jpg.ec7eb3e8549a44a19f173635bb87556a.jpg

Steve, C. alba is such a pretty palm, & it should grow great for you. I'm on my second one, that seems A-Ok with where it's planted for a couple years now. So, fingers crossed..

I’m envious of all that property. Looks like you’ve got more than enough room to keep on planting for awhile. I’ve got a little Cyphophoenix alba too maybe a wee bit smaller than yours that I’m looking for that right spot.

I've got 2 acres.  It's a lot of work keeping it clear and terracing.  Now that the rainy season has hit the weeds gonna germinate so much faster.  At 77 I'm not a fast as I use to be, but the yard keeps me active.  Like to hike 2 times a week if I can for at least 5 hours.
