    Is my bottle palm dead

    Agree with the above that it’s beyond help. All the ones I see around me are dead as well.
  5. Another little stash on there way!
  6. A hundred orania sylvicola seeds, on the table double or nothing!
  7. A few chamaedorea adscendens to pot up, such a lovely palm to grow very rewarding. A few large form dasyanthas and the very slow to do anything masoala Madagascariensis, the date on the tag says it all, iam a slow grower, even had a few still germinating so dont give up on them. Treat them like Howea species my advice!

    Gravel causing K imbalance?

    This the reason I crush down to smaller pieces larger lava chunks! Tom, is there any ideal size of gravel for drainage?

    So What Caught Your Eye Today?

    A beautiful Cham adscendens that’s about 4 years old and flowering, so it seems they take 4 years to become mature. Then two licuala triphylla both with seeds got my attention again today! Chamaedorea adscendens 4 years old. Licuala triphylla var stenophylla licuala triphylla
  10. On advice from another palm talk member, the suggestion was to get rid of that revoluta. Well spoken advice, so out she came and I now have some excellent real estate for something a little more exotic. No special treatment just dig it out and plonk it back in the ground elsewhere! Iam sure I have something exotic floating around somewhere in the greenhouses. Actually I know I have!!!

  11. Another afternoon gardening, planting away. Some more garden eye candy! licuala triphyllajapanesese rhapis hakusetsuntakhara anthurium hookerii Ernest augustii Pinanga sarawakensis cycas deboensis x multipinata Calyptrocalyx yummutumune
  12. A couple of vonitra perrieri hidden away in the collection. I have no idea where I got them, perhaps RPS. But either way it’s a nice bonus finding a new variety you had no idea you had!

    Pindo, Mule or Alfredii for front yard?

    Its hot but nowhere near as hot as Phoenix. We can hit the 100s but that’s usually during heat waves. It goes like this in So Cal. When a heat wave comes it brings 85 degrees in the beaches, 90s in the LA basin, and 100 in the inland valleys. I stayed a summer in Phoenix when my bro lived there and it was 110+ every day. The other difference is that Phoenix like Vegas stays 100 at night, while our nights usually go down to the 70s. Its a hot valley to someone who lives near the coast where it can be 68 in July. But you would probably think its not that hot in comparison. It’s usually in the 90s from July to late September with a few days in the 100s during heat waves

    Pindo, Mule or Alfredii for front yard?

    Your temperatures look good next to ours in Phoenix in my experience if your weather is anything close to ours the only thing you are planting in full sun that will survive is the calla lily very tough grows in full sun with lots of water but they do go dormant in the summer but as soon as fall comes around they comeback with vengeance!!! Will be interested in future updates to see how things survive!!!

    Is my bottle palm dead

    @BumGardener I'm pretty sure this one has a future in the mulch pile. Unfortunate, but this cold snap was a little more than they can typically handle.

    Is my bottle palm dead

    It doesn’t look good, bottles can take a bit of cold, but that looks frozen to me. If it makes you feel any better i planted one yesterday, so all is not lost they will survive in cultivation. Such a shame it was a nice size one at that, if it has spear pull, then that is a pretty good sign it has suffered quite a bit of a substantial freeze. That cold blast even made the news in Australia!
  24. We got a light mist that made the top of the mulch damp and not much else. Better than nothing, but it's better when we get a soaker.
  25. Agreed. And the MS border does have wild ones. Parker Street and Church Street in Hornsby have many!
