Awesome garden! Thanks for sharing

I’m looking forward to seeing how everything does. Do you get consistent summer heat?  I think most everything should survive apart from the Washies unless you’re in a dry area.

Depending on what kind of year it is our heat don't usually arrive till the middle of July like this year.and being in Mukilteo wa just north of Seattle rain is common during winter ,spring and fall I am surprised on how quickly the Jubaea are growing in my area,thought they would be slow but that may be in the south with heat and humidity. I am sticking to more Jubaea crossed trees as pinnates because they have a better chance of survival here. The washies will get their protection during the winter along with the sago,s The 2 smaller ones are looking more like filibusta from the maroon on the leaves stems. Had a few neighbors hating the trees an tropicals cause they are not native even had a note on my car from  a unidentified neighbor that threatened to rip up the trees ,lol  but a majority love the look.  but I will post from time to time on them

Gotta Love them Palms, for sure! Please do this every year though I fear you may need a machete at some point!

That yucca you mentioned is probably a 'Yucca Gloriosa variegata'. Great plant.

The idea was to build a wall of palms with companion plants here and there but as long as I can I will do updates every year.

Seriously???  How about they mind their own business.  I'm sure if you went to their property you'd see a bunch of maple trees and would be able to point out a few dozen non-natives.  And what does it matter anyway, it's not like they are highly invasive plants that will spread throughout the state.

Never mind the fact that they are most likely a non-native as well.

Well I wish you luck.  I think all your crosses should do well and hopefully those mules will be hardy too. If you're interested in seeing what I grow down in here in zone 8B you can take a look at my YouTube channel.  I started posting this summer.

I saw the video on the Jubaea and even it is a slow growing Im finding its not that seems more Moderate growing to me. Could it be Jubaea likes the climate better than in the south. Just wondering since we don't have the heat and humidity which Jubaea is not a big fan of. Just wondering

I agree, I don't find them to be slow.  Jubaea do best on the west coast, especially California but they do quite well in the PNW.  I have seen photos of decent ones around here in Portland but none appear to have any decent trunk on them yet.

I,m gonna have to check them out some day. My biggest Jubaea is about 18 years old that was put in. It was root bound in a box not getting enough nutrients so the leaves were getting a little yellowing going on but now that it's in the ground it is really taking off, gave it 12 lutz palm spikes this month so its good to go till February and it is already acclimated here

Good to hear, I'm glad it's enjoying its new space.  I use Palmgain.  You can order it online from HomeDepot and they will ship to the store for free.  I got  120lbs this year and fertilize according to the directions.  It's affects are noticeable when you get new palms that are a little yellow.
