Tracy Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 39 minutes ago, 813PalmsnCycads said: My Chambeyronia Macrocarpa put out its first new leaf (for me). I’ve been waiting a little over a month for it to open up. Nice! That actually seems like a short time right now to me. My Chambeyronia hookeri had a spear that appeared to be ready to pop open back in November. The cool wet winter here really slowed it down and only a few of the leaflets have cracked open, meanwhile the spear behind it kept on pushing. My best guess is that I will get close to back to back leaf openings on it as temps begin warming up. Other New Caledonia palms in my garden didn't seem to be as impacted as this particular palm has been by this unusually cool winter/spring here. The normally very intense color has faded from red to green on the base leaflets that have opened very slowly but I can see red in the leaflets that are barely cracked open. I guess this stands out because I'm always checking on it to see if it has progressed. It reminds me of watching a flush on a Cycad that is pushing slow! 5 33.0782 North -117.305 West at 72 feet elevation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billeb Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 (edited) Had a frond fall off today (no help from me which is a milestone! 🤣) and couldn’t help but notice the cool colored brown crownshaft on the Disctyosperma. Planted out a two yrs ago with zero rings of trunk so although they don’t look the best during our Winter, still a pretty good grower. I was told and believe this is Dictyosperma Album Var. Rubrum. -dale Edited April 18 by Billeb Picture 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patience is rewarded.... based on normal leaf progression in my garden, I expected this leaf to open in 2022 and here we are in April.

palmfriend Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Hi, after an unusually long winter with week long chilly days (never experienced before over here), the garden is jumping back to life. I haven't lost any palms during the winter but it seemed that the garden literally stood still - nothing significantly happened - except the first blooming of one my L. chinensis and a definitely the cooler temps enjoying J. chilensis. (still potted). Today I was checking the garden... ..admiring how well the seed grown P. rupicola has gained size, crouching in the little jungle to check the base of it... Wow, if this is not... ...its first attempt to produce seeds. Since I am growing only the P. rupicola species in my garden (I have got two more), there might be a chance of getting pure seeds... Moving on to the backside of the house - ...finding my three C. metallica being active (productive) as well. Let's hope for the best!

Foxpalms Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 (edited) A few Washingtonia robusta growing in a zone 10a part of London. The coldest temperature this winter there was 29f and this winter was much colder than the usual winters we get. This part of central London can stay above freezing all winter most winters.
