gtsteve 1,280 Report post Posted January 18 Just for the people who have not grown a Chamaedorea woodsoniana, but know how big a foxtail can get (too big), well, it is probably the tallest Chamaedorea and it is not too happy since it punched through the maple canopy, which has subsequently disappeared. It is about 20'high and like me, past its most attractive age. 8 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtsteve 1,280 Report post Posted January 19 Thanks mate, I really just wanted to show people how tall a Chamaedorea can get. Who else has a tall Chamey? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So many of mine are so tall that you can barely see their canopies but at least the trunks add interest to the garden when there are a few close together. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fusca 1,624 Report post Posted January 22 It's not a snake - I think it's just some rope that he's using to tie the Chamaedorea trunks together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh it’s a snake alright...just not a live one. I move a couple of them around occasionally to “spook” the rats that sometimes are present in the yard. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I move a couple of them around occasionally to “spook” the rats that sometimes are present in the yard. Nice idea! I saw that a couple of trunks were tied together on the left and assumed that it was the same thing. Edited January 22 by Fusca Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
