Kris, all those plants suit also to a temperate zone, since you live in the tropics I suppose you hold them for exotics and want to be a zone-pusher (to the temperate)?

Or perhaps, S. bermudana would be regarded as an exotic in India?

Kris, you were growing Borassus right? Any current pictures. You'll have to apologize, I'm a chronic thread derailer...

Here are those stills...

Love,

that was fun! love the music you added!

Dear Konstantinos thanks for visiting this thread and yes they are exotics palms here,since most plant only those trees which give out edible fruits or seeds.so this plam is a rare one to me.

Dear Steve good to see you here,And i have not update visuals of the palmyra palm since it has not grown much...If you search my threads on borassus flabellifer the visuals you see in it is the same as its even today.Due to growth restrictions as its still in a industrial barrel.

And no apologies needed regarding your question on the palmyra palm,since its palm related and iam not a strict rule follower either !

Dear Paul very happy to hear from you.And that lovely music was suggested by youtube.Glad you like it.

Lots of love to you all,

kris.

Hope it grows well for you Kris!

Dear Jv

thanks very much.

love,

An interesting and timely video, Kris. I just ordered a couple Sabal seed groups from Garry at Coldplants.com. I'll have to come back and refer to this video in a few years. Your Sabal looked fairly root-bound in the video. Tell me: how long did it take to get that big in the pot? And do Sabals like staying in the pot that long?

Cheers, JT

Nice choice with the bermudana by the way. There's one in San Diego that looks like it holds 60 leaves. There's a picture in my Balboa Park thread. It's VERY difficult to tell when it's fruiting. Regarding the Borassus, you're fortunate to be able to grow those, I soubt they would make it here. Although there have been Coconuts and Coryphas spotted. None look too healthy though.

Sabal Bermudana has been a real surprise for me. It really does not look like a common Palmetto, I bought it in a group of Sabal nearly ten years ago and it has been the shinning star so far. Sabal B is durable, dependable, and cold hardy. It is not a rocket growth wise but has grown fast enough to satisfy me. Great palm can't say enough positive things about it.

Kris...that thing is going to be happy in the ground. It will grow much faster now. Sabal's really don't like pots very much. BTW, one of your Borassus will going into the ground at Leu Gardens in Orlando this year.

Sabals do detest being in pots; I had two mexicana grow through their two gallon pots straight into the ground through nursery cloth I might add. Sabal are tough palms. They often defy the odds and find a way to thrive. Sometimes slowly but they still find a way.

Dear Friends,

Thanks for visiting and here is a old link of the same palm with photos & videos of its steady growth(monitored).

And dear David nice to hear from you,and also very glad that our Borassus will add more beauty to Leu Gardens in Orlando.My special thanks to you.

Lots of love,

kris.
