    Mind you, this in the ground for just a couple of years. The oldest one has seen -22°c without damage in our previous garden.

    Here's a couple of my sweethearts. First two are my eldest that I moved as a 1m trunker. The rest are all fortunei forms. Two Chusan, a group of 5 x'Takaghii', a Nainital, a small but 7 years old princeps x wagnerianus, two waggies with an other princeps x waggie (front) and some pictures of my youngsters. Including the Livistona nitida.

    Can cocos survive in Lindos,Rhodes in Greece?

    southathens replied to southathens's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATE

    Most of the times when the W is hot the E is cooler and the opposite. However in some years we can see both the W and E Europe having hot summers. This is mostly true for SW/SE Europe. NW Europe is a different issue all together. But yeah I really hope this summer will allow some respite for Greece. It's been 2 hellish summers...

    Yes they sit for a while then young then put on a slow medium pace after a few years then start to move a bit. The African tulip tree is a pest in Australia the native bees get stuck inside the flowers and die. I curse my neighbour for the one he has growing in garden. And we all know the wife is correct when it comes to knowing her flowers after all a good lady knows her flowers well!

    Thank you for your service to your country!

    Planted in 2020. It's seems like it just started to grow last year. It has a 25 foot tall African Tulip Tree about 4 feet from it providing shade. Wish I never planted it or the few others I planted for shade. If I'd know how many BILLIONS of seeds they'd produce and the hundreds of seedlings poping up in the yard, the green house and WOW even on under MY HOUSE I'd NEVER had planted the first one. LOL Trouble is the wife loves the flowers and If I cut it down she'd kill me on night while I slept. LOL

    I put 4 years in the navy. They brought me here to PARADISE and I've never left. LOL

    Yep fresh seeds will germinate in about that time. A great looking palm that’s easy to grow.

    For some, Florida drought is getting very "extreme"

    D. Morrowii replied to SubTropicRay's topic in WEATHER / CLIMATE

    Yeah the only saving grace is that the night time temps are cool-ish.

    Magical love it. And it’s great to see you have the flag in view standing proud of your country. We just had Anzac Day in Australia, lest we forget we will remember them!

    Nice one tim that’s one palm I don’t have in the collection, I just got sidetracked on the other palms, but an obtainable palm so iam in no hurry. Great thermal mass from that brick wall, you certainly have a good view all you need now is a Joey to top off that view.
  16. RichardHemsley
    I would agree on how easy they are to germinate. Recently got some seeds from @Brandon39.5 and they germinated in around 2-3 weeks with a 90% success rate.

    My little hollrungii is doing quite well after being in the ground for two years. Purchased as a bare rooted mail order it really hasn’t looked back since it got planted. A couple more years should see it looking good. A nice cool tolerant Calyptrocalyx.

    Here are some nice potted dragons potted near financial district in San Francisco. I took the pictures a few days ago. Note one of them looks like a pony tail palm, wonder if it is a different type of dracaena drago.

    Tracy, I’m in Concord, near Walnut Creek. It’s hot here but colder in winter than other parts of the Bay. The lowest temperature this year was 32°F, though historically, it can dip to 28°F—maybe even 26°F every 5 years or so. Do you think my plants still have a chance? I’ll send pictures tomorrow. I’m wondering if these can go in the ground—if so, I might look for something a little taller, pot the smaller ones I have, and place them near the garage door under the gutter.

    I agree, nice healthy plants. Especially the C. cerifera looks interesting. I haven't seen such a large one before in the Netherlands. Is your windmill a boy or girl? https://www.palmtalk.org/forum/profile/28047-zone7bpalmguy/ This tends to be how windmill's tend to grow around here. The climate seems to suet them.

    my dypsis decipiens, they all died 20 years ago, but in summer not in winter because of the cold, here they don't do well, I think I can't stand the African heat that we have here in summer

    With your facility it really makes sense to start them off larger. When planted young , sometimes they linger for a year or so. Harry

    Yes it does work from tubes, but from now on iam going with at least 140mm container size palms for a better start in life. Richard

    A few garden pictures in the rain

    happypalms replied to happypalms's topic in DISCUSSING PALM TREES WORLDWIDE

    It’s got a fair chunk of trunk I would say that for sure. I have another 20 or so in the garden and none of them have a trunk yet, so this one is absolutely jumping in comparison to its cousins. The best bit about Erica snavelling your plants is you get some back of her if you manage to kill your ones. Richard

    I have plenty of sandy soil that’s for sure so that’s a good thing in there favour in my area for growing them. The ones I havenn be in sunny spots don’t seem too do as good as the shaded ones, some dry tolerance so the amount of water you are giving yours is pretty good. I actually wish I had a little clay in my soil for water retention and a few nutrients, but I will stick with the free draining sand. How long has yours been in the ground?

    The rainfall part of the drought has been one thing, but the day-after-day temperatures in the mid-90s with humidity bottoming off around 20% and wind blowing perpetually has desiccated a lot of foliage. You could literally water all day - if it was not against code.
