Licuala Cordata Transplanting

the most perfect pleated round leaf -
Once upon a time I would have jumped at a 1000 baronii, now I have that many iam not even bothered with them. How we change our palm fashions. Time, room to grow and cost of growing them, all factors in not being interested in growing them. Spoilt for choice I say!

Chrysalidocarpus hybrids
Josue Diaz replied to Josue Diaz's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
I think the decipiens hybrid is an F2. Seeds came off of an F1. The prestoniana, i think, is an F1. Seeds came off of a species prestoniana. -
Im not quite as worried about Thursday night now as I was. Forecast still calls for 28F, but areas further inland have warmed a little bit in recent forecasts. The place to be in NW FL Thursday night though will definitely be Pensacola Beach: (These maps are hidden under the "Local Forecast Maps" button on the main page) As far as those snow chances go here, well, the NWS is now biting. There is now a 20% chance of rain/snow showers early Sunday morning across a good portion of the Panhandle. Some model guidance today have even trended towards some significant accumulations, but I'm not quite buying those at the moment. Watching this closely as time moves forward and things become clearer.

A miracle on January 13?
happypalms replied to Mazat's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
Whoa minus 10, if I lived in those temperatures I would pack up and move to a warmer, no wonder you like my garden! -
Beautiful chamberlanii, the latifolia where a gift so they are already special, definitely looking forward to planting them in yhe garden one day.
-
Interesting observation. I wonder why the difference between palmate vs pinnate? I always suspected the latter to be true for most F2 hybrids...

San Diego Coconut Trees
SouthernCATropicals replied to SouthernCATropicals's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
January 14, 2026 Before the Santa Ana winds comes in usually is the coldest temps of the year where I’m at and these last few days got down to mid 40’sf. Last year that same event brutalized my coconuts but this year the damage is very minimal. It’s kinda hard to see, but there is some spotting and leaf burn on the older fronds especially. Unfortunately, the biggest coconut is extremely close to the powerlines now. My advice to people is assume that your coconuts will be as big as a date palm. We’ll see how that goes. This coconut looks probably the best but it actually got an extremely bad white fly infestation. I smothered it in insecticide and will keep doing that when it comes back. This coconut might look ugly but I think it has a lot of potential. It is infested with white fly but I smother it with insecticide.

It does suck, but it is typical and there are quite a few palms that don't mind these types of fronts. There are a lot fewer that mind 1985 or 1989, though. The silver lining is that High 20s/Low 30s is better than High teens/Low 20s. The current forecast for Thursday night: Tampa area (Zoomed In) Melbourne/Orlando area Jacksonville/SE GA region Tallahassee/Southern GA/SE AL Mobile/Pensacola Monday morning isn't looking great for the areas where graphics are available either: Tampa (Zoomed in) Melbourne/Orlando Jacksonville/SE GA

I have emailed him, I know he gets very busy and is often in remote places collecting pollen or high up a palm pollinating. The process is very cumbersome and in California it can get hot quick. First removing all the male flowers, then waiting a few days for the female flowers to reach peak receptiveness and dust them with pollin (collecting it without it spoiling with mold is also a task) and then cover them and reapply pollen on 3 or 4 consecutive days. And then if any seeds set cover them so birds, squirrels or other critters don’t get to them. This is why these hybrids come with a price tag. I am very fortunate to have2 jubaea x syagrus. I was hoping to see if he still had yatay x jubaea. So I am sure he will get back to me when he’s not busy hybridizing. I was just curious if someone might have a recent list he sent them.

Silver lady fern checking out
realarch replied to quaman58's topic in TROPICAL LOOKING PLANTS - Other Than Palms
These have bifurcated and now trifurcated? I’ve been thinking of trying to remove the smaller trunk along with some of the root. Still haven’t gotten around to it. Here are a few photos.

Definitely take advice from Darold. The enemy of this species is heat and drought. Think living in a cloud with condensation and mosses and ferns. That’s what they want. They wouldn’t care if it rained constantly. Bright indirect light is perfect, just like you’d find within a cloud. Hot piercing sunlight with dry heat will end them pretty quickly. If they never saw more than 22C ever they’d be super happy. 30C and up is the danger zone for this species I’ve found.

Some bonus shots from elsewhere within Sicily. First up this Washingtonia filifera with a monster stocky trunk. Lovely backdrop too. Cefalù.

Pyromania in perpetuity with palm pieces parts
DoomsDave replied to DoomsDave's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
This is a good palm part for kindling; put dead leaves under, pieces of “beard” on top pile some small brunches pieces and use some Parajubaea or Trachycarpus fibers for starter kindling and strike a match and whoosh! Away you go!

Palermo Botanical Garden, Sicily (December 2025)
Jonathan Haycock posted a topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
Palermo was a bit of mixed bag. Still pockets of stunning ancient heritage, but unfortunately the city in general does appear to have lost its way. The botanical garden on the other hand was a pleasant surprise, with a fantastic variety of palm species. Also the most comprehensive collection of citrus trees I've ever seen, the majority of which were full of ripe fruit. Well worth a visit. Washingtonia robusta Church of St. Dionisio 14th century ruins Phoenix sylvestris Washingtonia robusta Not 100%, but I think this is Trachycarpus takil. Labelled Trachycarpus fortunei. Brahea armata Butia sp. Brahea edulis Trachycarpus martianus Jubaea chilensis Trithrinax campestris Rhopalostylis sapida Chamaedorea metallica Archontophoenix maxima Roystonea regia Chrysalidocarpus baronii Brahea decumbens Brahea brandegeei Brahea armata Chrysalidocarpus decaryi Trithrinax campestris Brahea aculeata Nannorrhops ritchiana Parajubaea torallyi Sabal maritima Dioon spinulosum Encephalartos lehmanni Chamaerops humilis var. argentea Howea forsteriana

Looks like a decent chance of rain tonight. Weather app says Seminole supposed to get .22 inches of rain. Better than nothing. -
Pyromania in perpetuity with palm pieces parts
DoomsDave replied to DoomsDave's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE
Palm woods are NOT created equal. If your f-wood dealer offers “palm wood” for cheap, look carefully to be sure what it is, i.e., what kind of palm it’s from. -
@ASHCVS Lepidorrachis would be AWESOME for your glorious ocean front garden!
-
Damn sanity really isn’t your thing! GOOD! My limited experience with hybrids is that fan palm hybrids breed true to the cross, I.e, they keep their distinctive look down through the generations while feather types seem to revert in the F2 back to one or the other of the grandparents.
