🍌 B a n a n a s 🍌 ba ba bananas
JohnAndSancho replied to JohnAndSancho's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
My first ever tissue culture purchase. A friend gave me an invite link to PalmStreet which came with a few coupons so all in I think I'm out $19, it's supposed to be a golden variegated banana. The fun part! USPS normally sends packages to Memphis then Jackson then my local PO. This time it spent a few days in New Jersey for reasons I'll never understand. I'm glad I bought the insulation and heat pack, but the heat pack was burned out long before it came back into the central time zone. I'm super super super sick so I haven't even opened it up yet, it was super cold when it got here. -
My pineapple plant

My first attempt rotted, my 2nd attempt rooted, my 3rd attempt I cut off too much, and we'll see how #4 goes (just potted up) - Today

27 this morning with heavy frost. About 10-13 degrees warmer across the bay to the south in the warmest microclimates of Destin and Santa Rosa Beach though! Classic radiational freeze temperature distribution here.

More Yucca aliofolia from the gardener
Mazat posted a topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
The head gardener at the winter greenhouse gave us two more Yucca aliofolia, which I picked up yesterday with a handcart... We are very, very grateful 🤗 -
A miracle on January 13?

The first two pictures were taken three days ago. This is today, and of course there is no more snow on the ground.- 1 reply

Sometimes I can see slime, so slugs I suppose -
It almost seems that way, after what felt like the coldest January in many years and that freezing -10.3°C on January 7. The Yucca gigantea is still alive, even without active protection... Maybe it is magic after all 🤔🤗

What is your current yard temperature?
Phoenikakias replied to GottmitAlex's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATE
So what about the rest palms among the orangerie, how did they fare? It is supposed that basjoo has a very cold hardy rhizome. But plant under this name carked it in my garden after the 2008 cold spell, while Arenga westerhoutii pulled through! So there are sometimes, when you buy something different from what it had been offered officially. Canopy temperature-wise does not help considerably during an advection cold spell. I rember I had lost l a red Kentia between two gigantic pine trees in the 2004 cold spell. -

Wallichia densifolia male, female flowers
tim_brissy_13 replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
The two I got from you a couple of years ago are doing well, although very slow. Probably not photo worthy yet but they’re attractive even as seedlings. -
I do, Howea, Dypsis leptocheilos, Ptychosperma elegans, Roystonea. I only protected Roystonea because it is not under canopy. The rest I did not protect but they are under orange trees. Not sure what you mean. I have several heliconias but they are all offshoots of one original plant.. I got it from a French nursery. They did not drop the leaves 10 days ago when they saw -0.5 C but let's see what happens now. I only have one Musa basjoo. The temperature under canopy eventually became same as elsewhere even though it started slightly warmer (one degree warmer) in the first hours of the night. So I believe it's the drier conditions that prevented frost. On both frost occasions this month there was no frost under the canopy.

Interested as well…

Phoenikakias replied to GottmitAlex's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATE
You have any 10A palm in the ground? I do not care about outdoor pots, because root system can be exposed to air temperature. Besides you believe having a basjoo and schiedeana, but do you really have one of each? Tags do not suffice for a real identity. Also in what respect has already existing canopy helped, did it prevent warmth radiation during clear night, of had it kept actually soil around tender plants relatively dry? -
Yup. I guess some will survive losing their leaves or the aerial part (heliconia). But honestly this garden is colder than I thought.. I need to expand the canopy. Nothing below the canopy shows any damage (so far).

A nice little trio of chamaedorea tenellas
wimmie replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
Nice, Richard, but let's make this a Chameadorea topic. I show you all one of my only two split-leaved metallica's. Anyone views on why these split-leaved metallica's are so scarce? Even in the trade overhere in Holland where they sometimes have hundreds of metallica's, you'll find only a few split-leaved plants! And I like them a lot!😎🌴 -

Cycas debaoensis hybrid
Dan64 replied to happypalms's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
Worms are good to mix things up 😁 Good debates get you thinking and learning if you’re open for that learning. I’m all for a good debate and being proven I don’t know what I’m talking about sometimes -
I’m finding that out, so definitely putting that into practice

I have heard if such a cross, but why hybrids and all there fuss, yes I understand the ornamental value and hardiness of such desired traits in ornamental horticulture. Yes Mother Nature does create such hybrids now and then. But when we interfere with mother nature’s ability, well we all know what happens if we watch science fiction movies! -
Yes it is the same thing agrifos 400 and 600, it should be ok to use together. We also at work put 2 litres to 1000 litres of liquid fertiliser, and it’s put through a Venturi hydroponic drip system on fruit trees. You don’t need to make cents, you want to save your dollars by not having dead palms, this makes sense🤣🌱
