Great Palm Planting Weather in Paradise

Followers

May 7, 20179 yr

This weekend brought probably the last warm dry days before the onslaught of sweltering heat and humidity. I enlisted my forbearing husband's help in planting young palms in our yard. He took shovel & pickax in hand to dig holes in our infamous shell rock soil. Over the course of the afternoon, we planted nearly a dozen palms, including:

1) Coccothrinax camagueyana

2) Copernicia berteroana

3) Livistona benthamii

4 ) Cuban wild-collected Sabal sp

5) Ptychosperma macarthurii

6) Satakentia

7) Dypsis pusilla

8) Gaussia princeps

9) Thrinax excelsa
