A couple a nice collectors palms to go in the garden. The Chambeyronia certainly has a long way to go before it matches the one in Sydney botanical gardens, but it certainly gave me the incentive to plant the one I have, what’s the best way to grow a palm plant it in the ground. The Areca is going to be an interesting palm in the years to come.

Another CRB attack
by WaianaeCrider- 6 replies
- 82 views
The CRB hit my 25 year old Pseudophoenix vinifera. Have been looking up into the crown for damage to fronds and saw none. "Injected" some poison (Imicide) early this year, just in case. Two days ago I found the top half a a frond on the ground. It had been chewed off from the rest of the frond. So yesterday I tossed around it Imicide granuals and today I injected it again w/the liquid. The liquid is EXPENSIVE 24 capsuls cost about $185. So w/tax that's at least $8 each. Took 11 this morning. Hope I'm in time to save this tree.

Today wandering the garden as I often do while taking a break from work I noticed that my Beccariophoenix madagascariensis seems to be starting to put on a little size. I can’t remember exactly when I planted it. It’s been about 6 years I would guess. It was a small 5 gallon. Over those years it has consistently put out new leafs, but it never really seemed to get too much bigger. While still considered small, it seems to finally be putting on some size. 5 gallon bucket in 2nd pic for scale. So what palm in your garden caught your eye today? It doesn’t have to be your favorite, just something that stuck out to you today.

I was growing this Joey outdoors to see how they would go. Absolutely perfect nothing to worry about growing joeys outside. They are quite tough, this one sat in a tray of water all winter it loved it. I think it’s time the Joey rule book had an update. There so easy to grow, Just add water! This one will make a nice feature alongside the driveway in a few years.

Palm garden in Captain Cook, Big Island of Hawaii
by mike in kurtistown- 6 replies
- 171 views
Yesterday, the members of the Hawaii Island Palm Society not presently in Peru traveled to Captain Cook, south of Kailua-Kona, to see the palm collection of George Peavy, proprietor of Kahili Kona farms, which grows quantities of citrus fruits and dragon fruits. But this topic is not about the club activity, but about many of the spectacular palms that we saw. The pics are in alphabetical order by genus for no better reason than that the order in which File Explorer stores them. First up is a spectacular pair of Bismarckia nobilis: Borassodendron machadonis Burretiokentia grandiflora Calyptrocalyx hollrungii …

I had to travel to Sydney for some personal reasons, and well as any palm nut would do head straight for the botanical gardens at the first opportunity available. So with camera in hand and a date set for a meet up with one of the leading palm gurus @palmtreesforpleasure Mr Colin Wilson who has been (how shall I say it) the main person behind getting the palm collection started again in the gardens. And I will say a lot of his personal time and budget has gone into creating one of the best collections in the southern hemisphere in a temperate climate slash subtropical region. I have visited the garden before but to get a personal tour and shown a major part of the collect…

This will likely be the last time I'll get to post about this tremendous success story of growing Satakentia liukiuensis in California. Unfortunately, our home owners insurance has issued us a cancellation notice unless we're able to comply with basically removing all of the palms in close proximity to my home despite all of them being healthy, well watered, and none of them carry a skirt of dead leaves; basically zero risk of catching fire. We've searched around and no other insurance company will cover us as they're all trying desperately to exit the market. The insurance market in CA is a disaster, but that's a story for another day. I figured I'd post pics one las…

WELP Guess I'm doing some more late night repotting!
by JohnAndSancho- 1 reply

Welp whoopsie doodle. I had these Butia sitting in the Palm Condo™ and had planned to pot them up at some point before planting them out in spring. Welp (using that a lot in this post), I'm trying to take pics for y'all and knocked them over. So I guess it's a good thing I bought 2 clearance pots at the dollar store today, time to go get a drill bit and pot these up. My bootleg football stream is buffering like crazy anyway. And bonus! There's another nub in here! I haven't even taken my night night meds yet so I can't blame it on those.

Nice little chamaedorea tenella

A great little palm the tenella. I couldn’t go past this one in flower I just had to admire it. It’s a male so a great one for a bit of pollination. You just cannot beat chamaedoreas for the beauty they have, and there’s no shortage of varieties available either.

Damaged Chambeyronia macrocarpa - what to do?
by Sean Osborne- 4 replies
- 102 views
I inherited this tree. One of two C. macrocarpa in the yard, this one is not happy. The trunk has been damaged by something very heavy, I have no idea what. You can see the outline of the impact quite clearly. This damage is months old, at least. The area underneath is spongy, and the tree is weeping from the edges of the wound. Is there anything I can do to help this tree? size 11 flip-flop for scale.

Palms Turning White

I have lost 3 Sabal minors this month. This is a native species and each palm has been in the ground for at least 3 years. In each plant, the first sign of trouble is a bleaching of the fronds, progressing to spear pull and finally death. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know what the problem is?

What’s germinating this week @happypalms
by happypalms- 4 replies
- 60 views
A few more popping up this week, every week or so I go through the box’s ands containers checking for germination and what needs some water. After about 4 months on the heat mat the bottom of the medium starts to dry a little, not always but it pays to check on them, also the community pots need to be checked for the top drying out due to the fact that they are in bags, occasionally one drys out a little and needs a misting. That’s about all you need to do apart from potting up, it’s not rocket science but…..

One of my favourites lanonia dasyantha
by happypalms- 2 replies
- 61 views
The dasyantha would have to be one of my most favourite palm, a few reasons there beautiful, tough, easy to germinate, a little dry tolerant and they grow do well in my climate combined with cool tolerance. All the things I like in a palm. They do like a drink of water and will definitely reward the grower for such a drink. I love them.

To water or not to water?
by Banana Belt- 1 follower

Topic of watering or not watering a Palm is often asked. The best answer probably depends and I have no idea for all Palms. One speicies of Palm Jubaea specifically, my observation suggests that for best health Jubaea prefer several months of dry weather. Jubaea during dry season will conserve water by stop flowering, slowing growth and letting their lower leaves dry up, turn brown and fall off. When rains return at beginning of wet season Jubaea stop drying up their lower leaves, start growing new leaves and will flower. If the Jubaea are watered during the dry season they never stop growing and will continue flowering. Lower leaves hang on semi green and won'…
