Encephalartos Patch


Fouquieria

Recommended Posts

Years ago (before I got sick) I planted a number of Encephalartos seedlings down on the hillside over on the undeveloped end of the lot.  Well, I tried to venture down there this Spring (I only have one leg now) and to my surprise, a number of them were doing fine.  Lots of weeds and Eucalyptus debris, but otherwise they looked pretty good.  I lost some, but most of them seem to be doing fine.

 

This little patch of three are E. ttrispinosus, E. arenarius, and E. longifolius.  Originally they were just tiny 2-3 stem seedlings.  Nearby is a E. cerinus which is  doing just as well.  Further over is a E. lehmannii which is doing well too.  An E. nubimontanus is struggling and hasn't done much and so too an E. dyerianus.  There were some others that I apparently lost because I couldn't seem to find them, but considering that they were completely neglected after the 2nd year is amazing.
