I was browsing Craigslist the other day and found someone selling a decent size canary island date palm for cheap. Decided to buy it from him. The poor palm definitely outgrew the 15gal pot it was in. He said the palm was between 12-15 years old. He obtained some seeds from the Tucson zoo and grew it. Thankfully I was able to plant it and get it out of the pot it was in. Weather here in AZ where I am has been amazing. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the 40s. Here are some pics of the palm. You can actually see that this palm is starting to flower.

Good afternoon,
I was scrolling down my camera roll and I realized that I took some pictures of my palms in only two parts of my yard almost exactly a year ago. I figured I’d take some photos today and see the comparison in growth over the year. Enjoy! (I know my palms are close, that’s how I want them )

After a long hunt for a Green Bismarckia last year, finally found one and bought it from @Joe palma. I planted it in the ground on August of 2020. I was a bit concerned for it due to the health state of it, location of hole, time of planting and the climate here in Maricopa, Arizona. The winters touch the 20s and the summers touch the 118s. After using shaders for the months of August, September, and October (2020). Then wrapping it with a blanket on the cold winter days, I can now say that it’s grabbed and now growing. The growth of the palm over this year hasn’t been too crazy but the overal health, color, and look of the palm is amazing. I also haven’t used shaders this summer and it hasn’t skipped a beat.

I recently planted my Bismarckia in August, it was planted straight and doing well. But, The wind has been really bad here in Maricopa all winter. It only blows in one direction as well. It’s now made my Bismarck lean. Should I stake? Or should I not worry about it because it’ll straighten itself up later on?
