The fact that they need to be cut down after a few frosts each winter and then EXPLODE at the first sign of warmth will always get me excited for summer!

Constantly wishing I could still grow zone 10 palms worry-free, but also trying to appease my strange fixation with Washingtonias.

That is some fast growth.  Do you use any fertilizer on those if so what?  I just got some banana trees and they say they need a lot of fertilizer.

I have found that chicken manure works wonders! i just sprinkle handfuls around the base and water it in.
