Took long enough to grow up this Chrysalidocarpus malcomberi into a big plantable 5 gallon size plant. I know there are a few different forms so it will be interesting to see how this progresses. I decided to place a temporary shade structure over this to help with acclimation since it came out of my greenhouse and would hate to see it cook in the sun.

Nice palm Josh! I have a couple like that I will be planting soon, lining my new driveway. I also have one that is very plumose leafed. So many "Malcomberis" here, who knows what they all are!?

Just dropped a variegated Butia odorata in the ground at the Fairview Garden this afternoon. I’ve had this beauty for some time and I figured today was the day.

Dypsis robusta made it way into its forever home. Grew this from a tiny 4 leaf seedlings back in 2014. super slow grower. And just think, that’s greenhouse years not outside growing years.

Sad I didn't or I couldn't buy it. But happy it's in the ground!!

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

here are a few canopy trees I planted recently in the garden. All these will be very fast growers except acacia tortilis. this one is slow but well worth the wait.
