Easy growing palms for the garden

Featured Replies

Some palms are easy and others are just down right difficult.

Below is a selection of easy to grow palms, no fussing over them you can miss a bit of growing love and they don’t even know about it. I find the ones listed below easy to grow palms in containers and in the ground. So if you have a bit of time and want some good easy growing palms for your garden get those seeds in your propagation mix now! All these ones are grown from seeds I germinated, it’s easy!

The ones you listed , some are in my garden , are very nice palms here in my climate . The Chambey you show is about the size I brought home from Maui . I stuck it in the ground , splashed water on it and it grew! Now , I take better care of it and give it a feeding now and then. For many years I just watered everything , no fussing at all . I like to fuss in the garden these days , since my broken hip kept me off my bicycle for so long. I came to appreciate the connection to gardening , I can’t believe I went over ten years without doing much. I even have a wee greenhouse now . Life is good , yes? Harry

Some classic winners in there , Chambeyronias I just plant them like Bangalows so easy. It’s only been in the last 6 years since i turned my attention towards my garden again, I never really even watered much in the past. It’s strange how an injury changes the mind set after a certain age, men was a hernia and a divorce that sat me flat, only now iam getting back into life to its fullest.

And a good lady makes all the difference!
