    They stop producing, period. Leaves, seeds, everything. The growth bud dies, and the palm with it. It gets all pointy, like a pencil, literally, and it twists all over as if it's trying to escape fate. Sad, but inevitable.

    HELLO FRIENDS. MY NAME IS RODRIGO AND I LIVE IN BRAZIL. HAS ANYONE MANAGED TO GERMINATE SEEDS OF CYRTOSTACHYS RENDA? I BOUGHT 100 SEEDS OF THEM FROM 100 "RAREPALMSEEDS", BUT I HAVE NOT GOT SUCCESS WITH THE GERMINATION. I KNOW THAT THE CYRTOSTACHYS RENDA LIKE A LOT OF WATER. COULD SOMEONE HELP ME? THANK YOU. RODRIGO.

    Last night I was walking back from the beach after sunset and took a few photos of one of our larger C. renda. The flash really shows the silvery undersides of the leaves.

    I've heard a lot of conflicting interesting opinions since catching palm fever 18 months ago. Fortunately many of them have been cleared up but here's one that hasn't: A palm nursery person (no one on PT) told me that palms die when they reach maximum height because they must keep putting out new fronds to live. Is this true? I haven't heard or read this anywhere else. Thanks, Lee

    I was going to post a thread about "dead zones". I remember an area of the Rainforest area of Fairchild along the sidewalk where they had planted common Chamaedoreas, because 5 other plants had not made it. I have a dead area in my own yard, my best advice is plant something native or is insanely easy to grow. There can be anything from lack of decent soil/minerals to high Arsenic levels, which has happened in areas of Florida. As far as a new palm, I have planted new palms in place of dead ones within a week. I think it depends on how the palm died. Budrot/cold damage usually does not affect the roots for quite a while, they will just disintegrate, but root suffocation from bad soil or Ganoderma is something to be more cautious about.

    There never seems to be a dull moment when I am visiting my palms. Here are some interesting facets of some palm leaves from my garden. 1. This developing coconut leaf appears to invite me, like skeletal fingers- 2. Now what are these V-shaped holographic notches on the mature coconut leaves ? See near the midrib - and again very clear in a close-up 3. And one of my bismarckias has lost its silver coating at places - the cause is uncertain - rainfall perhaps ? I hope it has no adverse effect 4. On a lighter note - Is this a variegated roystonea ? No brickbats please ! Please add anything that is you see out-of-the-ordinary in your palm leaves.

    Lipstick Palm envy is a terrible thing Jeff. I was walking past the greenhouse just a minute ago, and shot my Lipstick Palm seedlings against the night sky. Venus was twinkling, but didn't come out. Two-leafers! Sorry for the blurry photo.
