Cincinnati Palms 8

Heres some updates on some needle palms here in Cincinnati. The first two pictures is the needle palm planted at Mount Saint Joseph University in the year 2000. It has NEVER received ANY special protection. However, it was cut down by MISTAKE by landscapers in spring of 2019. Thankfully it is growing back with a vengeance! The third picture is a volunteer needle palm seedling several feet away from it! So there must be another somewhere close by! The 4th picture is the sole remaining needle palm at the far end of the parking lot. They for many years had many needle palms throughout their property in the open. For whatever reason they removed them this spring without rhyme or reason. For some sick reason, they stacked all the dead ones they killed right next to the sole remaining living one.

    That is wild. I cringe with the abandon with which landscaping people annihilate specimen plantings. Hope it gets to make a full recovery.

    I assume that seedling in photo four is a volunteer(?).  Heck, I’ve never seen a needle volunteer of seedling size in areas of habitat locally (or near cultivated plants, which are not terribly commonly planted in the Orlando area).  Granted, I wasn’t conducting a search for any one.

    I don’t want to derail the thread, but Wekiva Springs State Park is an excellent area to see some impressive Rhaphidophyllum hystrix in habitat locally.

    Back to palms in Cincinnati!
