    Biggest Beccariophoenix alfredii north of Monterey

    Can anyone who commented 10 years ago post an update. I just installed mine. Id be curious to see the growth in 10 years. I hope it will have at least a few feet of trunk showing .

    Sad to see it go. One of my favorite palms.

    They hate the smell of the cedar oil too. It won't kill them but they'll move and abandon their nest. I've got a tree I need to cut down that's infested with the little demons and I'm ready to just set fire to it. I don't want to get close enough to get bit again. Maybe I break out the sledge.

    Florida Palm Recovery 2026

    Finally made it to Animal Kingdom. That place got absolutely thrashed. So much damage I could have photographed all day and not covered it all.

    I kind of thought that when I spotted the sucker coming up, but I don’t remember purchasing seeds of that variety. I did purchase cocothrinax seeds around that time I remember, but it’s not a cocothrinax, so my source of seed supplier may have gotten it wrong iam led to believe! Which does happen a lot in the palm seed industry.

    I was going to say 70's or 80's just based on the limited view of the home style... 😄 Maybe palm had some size to it when planted so even older than the house.

    2025-2026 Florida Winter

    To add context to @bubba and @SubTropicRay's commentary, these are all of the dates where West Palm Beach International Airport has recorded temperatures in the 20s:

    Texas Palms

    I'd guess 1970s +/- I think Butia appearance is just a lottery. 95% of them don't do it for me with the wiry wispy unkept open crown look. Nothing to do with manicure imo. Most mules inherit the trait too, don't like most of them either 😅

    This is what I hope mine become. In my area I get to enjoy a decent range of palms but the simple rugged beauty of a well manicured butia is near the top of my list. Any idea how old it is?

    Anyone want to help skin some washingtonias?
  16. I don't know if the rooting hormone helped it or not but Sabal, Washingtonia and Copernicia seeds germinate pretty easily so probably don't need the extra help!
  17. So in other words it’s not thanks to the rooting hormone I take it!
  18. Looks like you haven't done a water change in a while! You might want to treat it with a diluted hydrogen peroxide soak to kill off any fungus. I have had that happen with untreated Washingtonia seeds and more recently Copernicia hospita seeds germinating in just a few days (in just water changed daily).

    Richard, it looks like my Acoelorraphe wrightii only not as glaucous. Very drought tolerant and loves water! Mine just started suckering but you can't see it in the photo.
  21. Yesterday
  22. Like the title says I took a Sabal pumos seed and peeled the lid off with a blade being careful not to damage the insides. Put it in a clear cup of water and a little rooting hormone and 2 weeks later we have a root popping out. Under water. Somebody may find this interesting.

    I notice that after the last rains, they've cleared their nests leaving mounds. Next sunny day I have to dust the nests.

    Palmate, thorny with a bit of gloss to the leaves. One of your local Livistonas?

    @PlanterPalm fear not palms die I kill them.
  27. Another unknown variety. I know it’s tough and dry tolerant that’s about it.
  28. Nice one, keep a bit on the dry side, my problem I have with cocothrinax seedlings is I just want to water them mostly by accident out of habit with a hose in my hand!
