Brad Mondel Posted Sunday at 01:58 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 01:58 AM I was looking at greenlife nursery on maps and saw a fruiting coconut palm next to a pond. Has anyone seen it before? 1 Los Angeles, CA and Myrtle Beach, SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96720 Posted Sunday at 02:42 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:42 AM He used to bring in coconut palms all the time and would plant one in his nursery but I don’t think they survived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztropic Posted Sunday at 04:21 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:21 AM Along with coconuts,he also brought in several 15 gallon pots of red sealing wax palms a couple years ago. They were something to look at for a few months, but of course, they all died. Now,the only palms he brings in are royals and triangles,and occasionally a few foxtails... Live and learn. aztropic Mesa, Arizona 3 Mesa, Arizona Temps between 29F and 115F each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96720 Posted Sunday at 04:25 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:25 AM I’ve tried to tell him to bring in Psuedophoenix sargentii palms but have had no luck!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztropic Posted Sunday at 04:47 AM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:47 AM The guy that originally started this thread, (Ryan) and myself,had made a deal with 'Shamus' to bring back some palms from Botanics in Homestead,FL about a dozen years ago,since he was already in the neighborhood picking up tropical fruit trees. At first,he agreed to do it for 2-3 times his cost,but ended up backing out in the end. Large Pseudophoenix sargentii are readily available down there, and they also seem to do very well under our desert conditions. It would be a win/win,if he could be talked into bringing back even half a dozen of them... aztropic Mesa, Arizona 3 2 Mesa, Arizona Temps between 29F and 115F each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96720 Posted Sunday at 04:38 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:38 PM Was out this morning making my nursery run and found this Dioon at Lowes for $40 couldn’t leave it even though it was in a 15gal!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96720 Posted Sunday at 04:42 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:42 PM Also while I was out I stopped by Greenlife nursery and talked to the owner and asked him about bringing in some Psuedophoenix sargentii palms told him about what Scott said about bringing in 6 or so and I would put it on palmtalk so he said he might I will keep going by and let you all know what happens!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztropic Posted Monday at 03:57 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 03:57 PM I keep trying to grow Pseudophoenix sargentii up to larger sizes for our local market,but even my small ones get bought out. There definitely is some demand for this species in the valley. If 'Shamus' would bring in a few 15 gallon size specimens, he would have no trouble at all selling them. aztropic Mesa, Arizona 4 2 Mesa, Arizona Temps between 29F and 115F each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztropic Posted Monday at 06:22 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:22 PM (edited) Pseudophoenix trunks really stand out in a valley full of 'booted' palms! This is my largest sargentii,originally planted from a 15 gallon. Pseudophoenix vinifera behind it was also planted from a 15 gallon,but has been a slower grower and definitely more frost tender. aztropic Mesa, Arizona Edited Monday at 06:36 PM by aztropic 8 1 Mesa, Arizona Temps between 29F and 115F each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoRudy Posted Tuesday at 11:48 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:48 PM Cuban coming out of winter looking really bad. Do you guys think I should be concerned? Can we assume that this is cold damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96720 Posted Wednesday at 01:29 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:29 AM That’s what it looks like how cold did you get? It looks like the spear still looks good mark it to see if it’s growing but I think with some hot weather and water it should be fine!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It touch 28 a couple times throughout winter but mainly was between 31-37 the entire winter. I sure hope it bounces back. It sucks that I have to battle the winter and heat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztropic Posted Wednesday at 02:35 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 02:35 AM It's just cold damage. This winter has had cooler weather, of longer duration than the past few winters. I've actually lost some of my stock this winter due to the colder temperatures. aztropic Mesa, Arizona 2 Mesa, Arizona Temps between 29F and 115F each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillDaCat8 Posted Wednesday at 05:25 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 05:25 AM I’ve had a few casualties as well. I lost a few little guys that I’d gotten from Floribunda last year. Sadly, my Gaussia Gomez-Pompeae doesn’t look very good either. 😔 My similar sized Royal looks similar to yours @xoRudyBut, new growth looks good. Not to worry on that one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all the palms are doing well! I’d grab a couple large pseudophoenix if he did. They are sooooooo slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
