What’s the total palm inventory in your garden?


Fukuoka Scott

Recommended Posts

I’ll start:

1 Archontophoenix cunninghamiana

7 Arenga engleri

3 Beccariophoenix alfredii (2 seedlings still in pots)

2 Chamaedorea cataractarum

1 Chambeyronia macrocarpa

5 Syagrus romanzoffiana

2 Syagrus weddeliana 

21 palms and 7 species officially but I get a lot of windmill palm seedlings that come up as weeds because they have naturalized in the wooded areas nearby…

Wish I could grow bizzies but my garden is a bit tight and not very sunny. They’re really striking though. Ditto filifera or CIDP. Feel like they’d be too big for my little yard :(

Oh yeah, I'm not exactly growing my Bismarckia in full sun. It's part shade, but I've seen a nice one in shade and it looks great in its own way. @Jim in Los Altos has the amazing shade-grown Bizzie.

The CIDP I don't have room for, so just a little growing experiment in pots.

Pretty standard 1/4 acre. Lots of palm density. I left a few genus out of my list like Jubaeopsis and Polyandrococcos. Here are a few garden shots...

I'd be typing all day. Jim's garden always amazes me for tidiness and what your growing for the location. 2.5 acres of palms, I'd never be able to keep my place that well kept.

As of today I have 233 palms, 148 cycads, 20 bamboos, and ~300 agaves/cacti/aloes in the ground.  On deck I have about 148 more palms, 67 cycads, and 45 more agaves/cacti/aloes.  That's in about 3/4 acre, so some areas are pretty packed.  I'm sure I'll have to do some "editing" in the future, but most spots are not too horribly overplanted.

In Cape Coral and then in St. Pete I had over 140 species of palms, now since moving to Tennessee I have 6, a bit of a decline :D

As of today I have 233 palms, 148 cycads, 20 bamboos, and ~300 agaves/cacti/aloes in the ground.  On deck I have about 148 more palms, 67 cycads, and 45 more agaves/cacti/aloes.  That's in about 3/4 acre, so some areas are pretty packed.  I'm sure I'll have to do some "editing" in the future, but most spots are not too horribly overplanted.

 All I can say is WOW!

While I won't win for the most TOTAL palms, I might be in the race for the most palms purchased in 2021 (so far). Here's a list of palms I've purchased in 2021...

- Archontophoenix purpurea (1 M, 1 S)
- Caryota maxima (1 L)
- Caryota obtusa (1 S)
- Chamaedorea costaricana (4 XL)
- Chamaedorea ernesti-augusti (1 S)
- Chamaedorea microspadix (1 L)
- Chamaedorea radicalis (1 L)
- Chamaedorea siefrizii (1 S)
- Chamaedorea tepejilote (2 M)
- Chambeyronia hookeri (1 M)
- Chambeyronia houailou (1 S)
- Chambeyronia macrocarpa (4 - S, M, L, XL)
- Coccothrinax miraguama (1 XL)
- Dypsis lafazamanga (1 M)
- Dypsis leptocheilos (1 S)
- Dypsis lutescens (2 M)
- Dypsis onilahensis "weepy" (1 S)
- Dypsis plumosa (2 M)
- Ficus dammaropsis (1 S)
- Ficus lyrata (1 XL)
- Johannesteijsmannia altifrons (1 S)
- Licuala sumawongii (1 M)
- Pritchardia martii (1 S)
- Rhopalostylis Oceana (3 L)
- Veitchia Arecina Triple (1 L, 1 M)
- Wodyetia bifurcata (1 S)

I'm almost done with my collection, except for one more that I want REALLY badly (I've reserved the most prime spot in my yard for it)...
- Dypsis leptocheilos x dacaryi ("Tri-bear")

* If anyone knows where I can get a Tri-bear in Southern California, please let me know. Then my collection will be pretty close to complete! (I know, famous last words). It's been a busy - and exciting - few months collecting all of these. Here's a photo of the first three I bought (my yard is full of palms now... some in the ground, others waiting their turn).

17 Chamaedorea species in the garden with multiples of most of those. They’re easy to maintain due to their sizes and fit well under the bigger palms.

Good, I'm starting a bunch of seeds and if they can handle your sun, they will handle my afternoon shade.

First of all, Jim, wow. That really is stunning and must be a treat to spend time in.

Looking at everyone’s inventories I’m realizing I’m hardly the palm freak I thought I was - a mere dilettante!

But on top of the palms I have two five-foot Dicksonia Antarctica tree ferns, a 7-foot Cyathea cooperi tree fern, a cycas debaoensis, a cycas revoluta, ten philodendron selloums, shell ginger, a handful of orchids and some Strelitzia reginae and nicolai so my place isn’t the bleak desert my inventory might suggest! ;)

I love your garden Jim. It seems to be an endless jungle. Apart from all the absolutely healthy fruiting palms I especially love your pond and bridge surrounded by lush jungle. Inspirational stuff.

BTW, what the 70's car in the driveway? It looks like a Ford of some sort. Real cool.
