Fallen Munk Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 1 hour ago, Fusca said: That's some expensive dirt! Local big boxes do the same. I guess they're counting on people not checking and assuming "bigger is always better". The one they had in stock was probably 50% bigger. Real nice fat trunk on it. So tempting...

Collectorpalms Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Fill up on your Washingtonias. Home Depot Waco. The Home Depots typically have better (Filifera) hybrids than Lowes. 20 years ago I’d buy. 1 Quote 30 Year Zone Average 20F.

Jesse PNW Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Never seen Coconuts up here before. A year ago I would have bought them all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 My Lowes had quite a large selection last week. There was a massive amount of Phoenix roebelenii, but in those were some hidden gems. Those hidden gems were Phoenix sylvestris and Trachycarpus fortuneii. Of course there was some small and large queens, some large Chamaedorea seifrizii, but they have had these before of the same size. To my surprise, they also had a couple of cycads to choose from. Of course there was the typical sago but they also had plenty of coonties there as well. They also had the indoor stuff like cats and majesties.

Jesse PNW Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Well you know how it goes. I can resist anything except temptation. And I'm supposed to be downsizing my palm inventory... This one jumped out at me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manalto Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 (edited) What is it? ("Palm" is as far as I got.) It's not a coconut, is it? Why are you supposed to be downsizing your palm inventory? What brand of madness is this? Is this a self-imposed edict? Edited September 23 by Manalto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse PNW Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 It is a coconut. I know, I know. Want outweighed common sense. I'm probably moving (to the opposite coast) next summer so I'll only be able to bring the bare minimum... which I think I've cut the list down to about 50 potted palms at this point. Plus a bunch of seedlings I'll be able to bare-root so those will be easy logistically easier to shove into the back of my suburban.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to say before I saw you got one, you can't go wrong with owning a coconut, very fun to take care of and very easy and the fact it has the coconuty leaves you can't beat it 🥳Looks awesome! 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse PNW Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 I've never considered one after hearing Banana Joe Clemente talk about how poorly they've done for him. They were my favorite palm when I first got the palm bug but I started disliking them, there are so many other palms that look so much better. However, this one really looked great at Lowes. @ZPalmsif everything goes as planned I'll be right down the road from you next year. Looking forward to the ease of access to Sabals on the east coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green Malayan has been very easy for me. It is one of my most carefree tropicals when it comes to care, even indoors. It's very easy to work with. I'm guessing yours is also a Green Malayan since I heard they are the most commonly sold. Even if the temperature falls to 62F for a short period at night and it gets a lot of heat during the day, it still does great. I usually go by the rule that if I think it's too chilly, then the coconut probably thinks so too. I never let it sit out if it reaches 59F. I'm sure the small temperature difference doesn't matter but I don't take the chance because I still want it to look decent. I think temperature is most important over anything else, and indoors, having 0 drafts indoors helps as well, and even low humidity isn't too much of an issue, but I think it's good to have a fair amount! Just a couple things I've noticed and learned while having one when the temperature starts to drop, Help this kinda helps to keep your coconut looking decent. 😋 Where are you heading? Are you coming back to North Carolina? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John2468 Posted yesterday at 05:56 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:56 PM Found this in my local Home Depot. A 7 gallon majesty palm, around 8 feet tall and has a tiny trunk on it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
