Ok thanks I will keep it well watered with the trachy and keep you guys updated !!

That's hilarious - I can't imagine a cat eating a Pigmy Date with those spines! Here's a bottle palm I bought last year in Houston (it's in the ground though). It made my drive home a bit cramped in my white Nissan! Oh, and you'll probably want to change your username since you no longer have date palms! 😆

you have very beautiful specimens, I like them very much 🤗👍

looks for me like a wonderful strong Trachycarpus fortunei

Absolutely 👍

I would also wait

I've been watching your videos for quite a few years now Jamie and have to say what you've created there is stunning!!! Palms are really starting to establish now, you must be chuffed with the result. We moved into our newly built home last November, and I'm currently working on the landscaping. When things get more interesting (i.e. palm plantings), I'll start posting videos on Pommy Palms. There are a few bits and bobs on there already from my travels.

What a fantastic garden you've created Carlo, and belated congratulations on its 10th anniversary. You must be so proud and rightly so, it's one of the best in the World for palms. Whilst living in UK, I visited the Palmetum 3 times, the last a couple weeks before we emigrated to Australia in 2019. Planning to visit my folks in UK this December so budget permitting, will try to head over again to your beautiful island. The Palmetum is top priority, but also looking forward to nothing but sangria and paella 😋. It's just not the same when consumed outside of Spain.

after looking at CIDPs and other exotics yesterday, I was extremely surprised by Sabine today. A CIDP is definitely how she is described. However, very self ... by the way from italy🤗😁

Possibly Coccothrinax moaensis or C. bermudezii...

this little cycas, it is sprouting new leaves, or rather started to do so during the winter after we found it defoliated on the ground near the greenhouse in October 2024. we only noticed it now because of all the jungle🤔😁

Great 🤗 thank you very much for your explinations and Informations and identification 🤗😄, Nathan. she survived the winter without any damage. we are impressed and happy about it. yes, and she smells very little as you once mentioned.

Wow. It's GAW-juss!

I post this every year. My faithful, blooming white corsage-type Catt. The oldest orchid in my collection.; nearly 40 years old. Was a teenager making minimum wage then and this was a big deal spending $20 on a plant back then. Ahh, simpler times and decisions. Divided bizzillions of times over the years.

Scratch that, lol... S. jasminoides is now an older name for laxum.

@Merlyn Would love to see the leaves on your C debaoensis. True Cycas debaoensis coning in my garden.

Howea forsteriana (Kentia Palm) seedlings. Eight available now. Pot sizes vary and range from 3.25” to 4.5” ; they are all the same stage of development approximately 3+ years old. Shipped potted in commercial, soil-less media. $12.00 each plus shipping. If interested please PM me with any questions or estimates on shipping. Continental US only. I love Florida; but unfortunately, I can’t ship there due to their ag restrictions. Check, money order or PayPal. Thanks!

Somehow, the city manages to grow these in the ground here. Mine stay in pots as accent plants. This is one of the few plants I keep in the ground since all they need is potted up once every 3-5 years. I'll have to move my "hardy native perennials" garden then.

Mine didn't drop leaves this winter but last year it did

S. jasminoides..

When dry isn't dry enough.....

Keep well watered. Wait for it to push since it did not pull. Here, they are slower to recover than washies and take about 1.5 growing seasons to regain a full head. Longer if not properly watered. They are tuff, good luck. That said, there are Trachy experts on here, way more in tune on this species than I will ever be. Might want to do a separate post to get those experts involved.
