Chester B Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 I’ll skip what I really would like to say. Here are my two Washy’s let’s hope they live as long. First one is over a year in the ground. The last photo is the one I planted this spring. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame, I would've gladly dug out the smaller ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse PNW Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I had forgotten about these Washies in Kelso, until I saw them again today. They've been in-ground since at least 2020, and I don't believe they protect them at all. I don't go through Kelso often but I've never seen it anyway. The tallest one is about 7' tall or so. They look very healthy. There are a few smaller ones that the older fronds are quite damaged, it looks like they grew several fronds this summer. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester B Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Kelso is wetter and colder than here in Portland so thats awesome. It makes you think all that concrete and the rock mulch might be creating a favorable microclimate. My neighbor also has at least two Washies but they don’t look as good as mine. But they have been surviving winters with a fair amount of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse PNW Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 The larger 3 specimens did not have any apparent damage, much to my surprise. There are also a few smaller ones in front, large 5 gal size maybe, the old fronds were quite damaged, but all the new fronds looked great. Presuming all the green is new growth from this year; I should have taken pictures of the smaller ones. I'm sure you're right about the concrete and rock. When I planted my robusta here I thought they were doomed from the start but there may be hope after all. If you can keep them alive long enough to get some size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trustandi Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Wow... They did well considering we got hit with the awful artic blast last December. The microclimate and full sun surely helps them a lot. Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach K Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 That reminds me, i need to go check on the washies at Pho Oregon (off 82nd) https://www.google.com/maps/@45.5408563,-122.5781461,3a,60y,189.6h,88.64t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3mlhOvu4eLjQYB0axtBXtQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlantDad Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Hello Everyone, Washingtonia filibusta at a house off Juliana Loop SE Salem Oregon zone 8b. I have been keeping an eye on this palm for over a year now. It has filifera characteristics but definitely not true filifera. I think it is pretty neglected and on its own as far as I can tell and doesnt receive irrigation. I know it didn't receive winter protection last winter but I cannot speak for the winters prior to that. These four pictures were from April of this year. I know our spring and early summer were quite cool and wet but I we did get a few sunny days. Edited November 15, 2022 by PlantDad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse PNW Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 That looks beat up but making it! The real killer this past year was not the minimum lows (although they were fairly low) but the precipitation leading into the extended freeze event. Which, precipitation seems to be the bane of Washingtonia's existence. I have really changed my opinion on the survivability of these palms in the PNW. You guys on the south side of the Columbia get less precipitation than us up here too so you've got that in your favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
