UK_Palms Posted October 1 Report Share Posted October 1 (edited) Not my photos, but the twin Robusta’s near Kew Gardens in southwest London shook off any winter damage like it was nothing after the coldest winter in 12-13 years, since 2010. Somebody posted this on Facebook today. Hard to believe that the biggest London Robusta is more than twice the size of these, but hidden way in a sheltered back yard. I took some photos down near Portsmouth however… Butia Odorata’s Brahea Armata’s Washingtonia Yucca Elephantipes Edited October 1 by UK_Palms 3 1 Dry-summer Oceanic climate (9a) Average annual precipitation - 18.7 inches : Average annual sunshine hours - 1725 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 I had a yellow leaf that on closer inspection was about to come off. The next leaf above it I had trimmed off about a week ago because it was completely dried out. So suddenly both crownshafts came off this morning exposing the flowerstalk of this Rhopalostylis baueri var. Cheesemannii. If I have the id wrong and these faster growing, without the swollen petioles are a different variety of Rhopalostylis, don't hesitate to correct me. So I got the first really visible rings above the soil line and the first inflorescence on this one at the same time. Definitely eye catching. 19 2 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours looks to be stretched a bit in the trunk and not as fat as compared to mine which gets a bunch of sun. If I recall yours only gets South Sun and is protected by the fence and garage most of the day. First sign of ringed trunk is always great. PS: you should plant out that Maryte Balansae. Both mine were kinda slugs until I put them in the ground. They really took off almost immediately!! I was shocked. -dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough decisions, but glad to hear that yours have taken off since going into the ground. I really should get at least one into the ground before things start getting cold. 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad52 Posted November 14 Report Share Posted November 14 (edited) We are hopefully creeping out of a very dry spell where I lost 4 young palms-all were apparently cursed by Peachy who said she hated them so they all then died, but today I noticed how well this C laceolata held up, this bloke is right about 3 years here.

Tracy Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 Not a palm, but it did catch my eye. I thought this was a male coning for the first time, but noticed it is clearly a batch of female Encephalartos ituriensis cones. I expected larger cones similar to Encephalartos laurentianus or whitlockii. I thought they would start expanding showing pollen between the scales, but the first is cracking open and loosening up. A shocker for me. 3 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Thanks man 🤙 I've been really surprised with the cold/wet tolerance of both my washy and silver date. I lost a canary last winter but it was also much smaller than either of the other 2. I've seen a good bit of all 3 around town that surprisingly have shrugged off bad winters that get thrown at us tho. If I was going to place my bets on any of them tho I would say washy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an amazing variety of palm trees in your yard! Thanks for the feedback on the Washy. Now, which variety of Washy to get? lol. Stick with Robusta or where can I find a true hybrid between the California and Mexican Washy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
