What to Plant i have to many Options

[Briank]

Soooooo I have this Spot in front of my house.   See pics below: 

I can’t decide from my options what to plant! 

 

As we speak there is : 

Multiple King Palm 

Narrorops Arabica 

Dypsis Onailhensis Face Street 

2 Ficus Dammoropsis (Might cut one out) 

Cant remember the Name of that Lily but that is what it is.  Suppose to clump but it hasn’t in 4 yrs. 

On the other side not in View is Phoenix Palidosa 

 

One thing that I’m thinking is I want to plant something different,  but I’m thinking I want something to Grow Vertical.   And sense it is on street I don’t want to plant something like Tri Bear or Super Exotic or Rare like my Anthocliesta Grandiflora.  Keep those for on my property.

King Palm Single Tukeri 

 

Trachycarpus Princeps 

[Briank]

Pritchardia Beccariana Hybrid

 

Brahea That I don’t know what it is  (Thought I found Pimo but don’t think so)

 

Chambeyronia Hookeri Double 

[Briank]

Pritchardia Martii 

 

Archontophoenix Maxima Double 

 

 

Archontophoenix Purperea Triple! This one I’m leaning towards

My 1 GA collection has : 

 

Dypsis Pembana 

Chambeyronia Houliou 

Pritchardia Hardyii 

Brahea Clara Icy Blue 

Livistona Alfredii 

Archontophoenix Beatrice 

DychtoSperma Var Rubra

You have plenty of good options! My own potted plant collection is stressing me out too, yet somehow I found myself looking over the new Floribunda offerings the other night.

 

I assume you're going full Velez style on that strip? I would think it would be nice to have something different looking -- maybe a fan palm. My T. princeps was pretty miserable in a pot (thought it would croak a bunch of times) and looks really happy since I planted it out. The Pritchardia would be nice too for the same reason. If you go with your Archie triple, you may end up with a blur of crownshafted, pinnate palms. If you went for a pinnate palm, I think a clustering palm that is thin and dainty would be nice. Maybe D. albofarinosa?

 

I think that Crinum lily is probably Queen Emma. I have a few and they do clump and spread out. Maybe more water???

Your right on pretty much everything.   I have been collecting lots of Fan palms lately as that is my theme for backcyard.  I think I’m gonna keep the Purpurea inside my jungle in front yard with all the other kings.   I have a Bottle Palm I’m pulling that is where I was gonna originally plant that Tri Purple.  

 

I am thinkng maybe a Big Chambeyronia would look good on street too? To bad Houilou is slow or that would be it.  

 

That Nannorops will look great there when it takes off.    I have the Pembana that is Clumper as well so that might be option too.  They do good in part sun

Brahea or Narrorops would a good choice. It looks like a hot spot, between the road and the side walk. I think both spp will do fine there and you can also blend feather and fan leaves look. The Narrorops will probably stay shorter and fill it lower, but probably also wider and that's a narrow spot. Hard to chose...
