Palm tree options in a 9a-9b zone (northern greece)

So i really want to turn my garden into a very green garden with palm trees and other palm like plants but i fear that all my money will go to waste if the plants end up dying so im asking for some help as to the options of plants i can plant. So here are the averages but the past years the lowest it got is probably -3 here. There is a nursery with queen palms very close to my but they dont look very healthy but they did survive the last 4 winters.Furthermore my garden is somewhat protected as you can see in the image and is facing the south east.I dont want to plant the casual canarians and filiferas as they are way too common and dont give me that tropical feel.im thiki…

If last weekend’s plant sales at the pacsoa show wasn’t enough of a fix of palms, iam at again with some great little gems online. This time with a pholidostachys species, licuala poonsaki, Zamia nana new accumunata and a philodendron Bob Cee. This little haul along with last weekend’s plants might do for a week of plant fix’s. By then it will be time to buy some more for another plant fix.

Ravenea julietiae? 1 2
by Tracy- 3 followers

I acquired this as Ravenea julietiae but there seems to be a little disagreement over this palm's actual identity as discussed in other's posts over the past decade. It continues to push upward and is a beautiful palm. I acquired a second about 2 years after this one, but it turned out to be something different and much slower growing. Any updates from others growing something looking like this and acquired as R julietiae? Unfortunately due to it's location it is hard to get a clean shot of the entire plant, so I've broken it down into a few photos.

Beauty in tragedy

So a crazy thing happened to me. I was on my way to class in Baton Rouge and an oil company truck lost its trailer on the interstate right in front of me. It ripped the front corner of my car off and she is now totaled. The reason I am sharing this is because when I went to get my belongings out of the car in a little Louisiana town where it ended up, the dealership had the most beautiful Butia odorata in the parking lot. It had a gorgeous tapered trunk and it looked like it naturally shed its boots. I was really down and out but this really brightened up my day! It's funny how little things like that can really change your mood.

we saw the devastating effects of the red palm weevil for the first time during our vacation in italy in 2017 at CIDP. we were very shocked. at that time we had already had good private experience with nematodes, i.e. with biological control of a pest. it always worked perfectly, as with the fungus gnat and snails. today we found this link and combined with the latest technology of early detection (link below), these are perhaps approaches that work naturally without chemicals or in combination. in any case, it may be a possibility. the costs were kept within reasonable limits for us, the results were very good. the pest was gone after application. here are the links: …

by Butiagrus- 8 replies
- 237 views
Hi everyone! This palm is growing in Spain near Barcelona coast in full sun, I got it as an "Archontophoenix Alexandrae" seedling but I start to doubt the ID.. The leaflets are mostly green (not really silver) underside and the crownshaft became more and more colourful with time. Also today for the first time even displaying some nice tones of red color.. Should I rename the tag as A. Cunninghamiana instead? Any other suggestions ? Thanks! JB

I recently planted this Canary Island Date Palm that had been stuck in a 15 gallon container for far too long at the back of a nursery. It has lots of yellow spots on the older leaves. Is this a nutrient deficiency? Potassium? Magnesium? or a pest?

Help I think it’s dying
by Sandy beerman- 1 follower

I went away for 3 months and when I returned this is what my Pygmy palms looks like. I purchased it in 2022 and now it is turning grey from the bottom up. The left side has totally died and when I went to trim off the dead fronds they just came out totally. It looks like there is white and black speck on the palm and there are white spots on the remaining green fronds. is there is any hope for my poor neglected Pygmy palm? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Today wandering the garden as I often do while taking a break from work I noticed that my Beccariophoenix madagascariensis seems to be starting to put on a little size. I can’t remember exactly when I planted it. It’s been about 6 years I would guess. It was a small 5 gallon. Over those years it has consistently put out new leafs, but it never really seemed to get too much bigger. While still considered small, it seems to finally be putting on some size. 5 gallon bucket in 2nd pic for scale. So what palm in your garden caught your eye today? It doesn’t have to be your favorite, just something that stuck out to you today.

A bit of late storm damage with the old elk taking on a bit weight with the rain, bringing down the golden cane stem it was attached too. An easy clean up the biggest problem is the weight of the elk and trying to remount it. I think an old tree stump will be the place for it.

Moisture & My Bismarck Palm
by GardenWes65- 2 replies
- 89 views
Good morning, below is a picture of my Bismarck Palm. I have a drip watering system, and please any advice on care! Moon Nursery delivered this, and planted it, and havent been a lot of help on care. So far we have been giving it the Moon Juice palm fertalizer that they make, and super Palm Juice. I went by their recomendations, and strictly for 2 years this is what our palm looks like! When should we cut the yellow fronds off? Should the trunk be trimmed up better? What is the best recomended way, and type of fertalizer we should be using, and how much, how often should we? And how much water should it be getting, we have heavy clay, but they did dig around…

Issue with newly planted foxtail palms
by bucsgirl6612- 1 follower

Good morning! New member here. I live in SWFL, and I recently had two double foxtails planted in my yard. When planted they were full and green, but now the tips are turning brown on the three lower-most fronds. I have been watering 2x/day for 15 minutes because it's been dry. The palms had those little green fertilizer balls, but I have not done any fertilizing as I figured it needs to become established first. When searching for answers on the internet, it seemed that this could be a result of either overwatering or underwatering. I'm hoping to get help for what I'm doing wrong! Palms are planted in full sun, and it's been pretty dry here, as we are in dry season. The…
