ErikSJI I am back. Mule palm production.

[ErikPF]

You try and retire and they pull you back in. My retirement lasted about 6 months until a nursery made me an offer I couldn't refuse. It has been a fun four years.

Welcome back @ErikPF!  Is your original mule palm nursery still in existence?

[ErikPF]

Thank you. Yes it is. Mark Lynn is still at it and doing well.

I love the mule palms also, they aren’t any good in a zone 8B though are they?

Choose one that leans more Butia.

It may depend what 8b you're in. PNW or a more southern 8b zone.

Erik, I have one of your mules that came from your last batch of seeds that I purchased from Scott. Glad to see you stepped back into the mule game. I refer to your mule by your first and last name just like my Patrix Schafer mules.

Welcome back sir, LETS GO!!! 🤙🌴 🌴

They are growing in 8b but would need protection from time to time.

[ErikPF]

Glad to hear they did well for you.
