Paul-

The box was there, we stopped short of it. It is one of the A/C condensing units. (If you squint real hard you can see it "behind" the box)

It looks different because the stucco guy took the scaffolding two days after you were here.

Sadly, the weeds are currently the most "wicked", but thanks.

Does anyone know what the really big Dypsis is?

I was/is know as the "Highland mealy bug" but does it have a type name?  You Aussie lads, can you help? Clayton?

Bill,

There you go again, looking at hiring those "under-trained" ranch hands.  If your palms don't grow well, you've only got yourself to blame.

Wow... so many palms in pots. It must be frustating for you. I know so, since we have just recently finished building our house and have been planting like mad. Before we had palms, trees, just about everything in pots - all cramped in 6mX9m shade house - waiting to be planted.

But then, when you get your house finish and you can plants those palms, it would feel GOOD!!!!!

BS - you do have a great line up of palms.

Is that a Cycas Debaoensis in post 89?

ummm, theres two in there. The one with the bigger caudex has a 70 degree bend in the petiole and thus is "hidden".

BS,

You have a great collection of palms and a bit of a canopy already! I am curious, I know you've got construction going on but do you have a plan for what you're going to do in your landscape?

You know, I bet a lot of us would really enjoy a planting event weekend at your place when the time is right and you've got your plan!

Great stuff.

Wow.... How weird is that? I was up late last night looking at this very thread before Moose bumped it..

Randy, its "fatter" at the base and holding 2 leaves and a 10 spear.. that are not in the best of shape. Doing it again, I would only give part sun... I would think this palm would do very well for you.. :)
