Chester B 1,362 Report post Posted January 10 I am in Portland. I’ve seen your YouTube videos, your garden is looking pretty good. For some reason there aren’t a ton of us from the PNW on here but a few of us persist. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShadyDan 58 Report post Posted January 10 Always like seeing your garden on Facebook, good to see you on here too. Besides my mature large Tachy, I also have in the ground: W. robusta, C. Humilis var cerifera, S. minor, and B. odorata. I have a S. palmetto and a (BxJ)xS I look forward to planting this spring. Other than the palms, I also have several varieties of Eucalyptus, an Acacia, and several Cordylines growing on my property. Nanoose Bay, Vancouver Island. Zone 8b. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are very lucky to have a temperate climate close to the ocean. Just have to keep an eye out for the occasional winter arctic outflows that can wreak havoc. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chester B 1,362 Report post Posted January 10 I'm in zone 8B as well, but we got hotter summers. We're about 90 minutes in from the Ocean but still feel its moderating effects, fortunately. These are the species (23 in total) that I am currently growing in the ground, many have gone through multiple winters. And I still have more species that I am growing out that I expect to do well. I would think many of these would work for you. Trachycarpus fortunei Trachycarpus wagnerianus Trachycarpus takil Trachycarpus princeps Trachycarpus latisectus Butia odorata Butia eriospatha Chamaedorea radicalis Chamaedorea microspadix Sabal minor Sabal brazoria Sabal palmetto Sabal “Louisiana” Sabal causiarum Sabal uresana Jubaea chilensis Mule palm Brahea armata Serenoa repens Livistona nitida Rhapidophyllum hystrix Chamaerops humilis Chamaerops humilis “argentea” 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I have potted up Livistona chinensis, Butia odorata, Brahea armata, Washingtonia robusta, filifera and filibusta, jubaea chilensis. I am also ordering T. Princeps and Takil seeds hoping to grow those. It’s tough to find good reputable sellers for those seeds but I think I found two good ones finally.

Chester B 1,362 Report post Posted January 11 In the bullpen I have some Sabal “Lisa”, Sabal Riverside, queen palms, Livistona chinensis, Livistona mariae x decepiens, blue Jubaea, Sabal minor Emerald Isle giant, W. Filibusta, Butia x Jubaea, Trachycarpus Nainital and non hardy Becariophoenix alfredii and probably a couple other things I’ve forgotten about. We can grow a surprising amount of palms. Some of mine may not make it long term but most of them will. I’ll provide an update in 10 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T. fortunei is relatively to source here, in fact we just pick it off Palms on the street. The Takil I recently sourced from Rob Larkin (roseShopRob on You Tube) and have yet to germinate. Here is a video of local fortune palms loaded with seed near me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
