  2. This is the second time this has happened to this Geonoma, once I can understand, perhaps a grower mistake. But twice now so what am I doing wrong. It has recovered both times. But what’s going on?

  4. Throwing a few in the ground, tried and tested for my climate, I know they grow easily so get a few more exotics in the ground. I know my garden and the dry spots to the wet areas, and choosing what tolerates a little dry is the key. Which makes it a lot easier for planting out saving all those wet areas for the good stuff.

  5. A few more seeds of a few interesting varieties. Starting to get into a few cycas species they always are winner for any palm grower, just set and forget and wait while the palms grow, a great sideline plant cycas!

  6. A neglected Hyophorbe lagencaulis (bottle palm) at Balboa Park, San Diego, CA. It’s amazing it’s still alive considering how neglected this palm has been. I believe it was planted in 2021 or 2022.

  8. I do believe your climate is temperate correct? If so try to avoid rock mineral based substrate, it’s too cold in winter especially when wet. Go for a warmer substrate mix like coco coir perlite and a little good quality potting soil. A much warmer substrate mix. If you want to grow subtropicals and tropicals in cold climates.

  16. A bit of a wow look at that flower moment. 26 years old and I have never seen it flower until today. I dont know what variety it is but it’s one spectacular flower. At first I thought an iris flower!

  18. So yesterday I was working at some condominiums I maintain as a landscaper in Pacific Beach San Diego. Im weeding around a street planter when I see them. Coralloid roots with the nearest Cycad a Cycas Revoluta at least 7 feet away! The crazy thing is it had to go underneath a curb and sidewalk to pull it off😳Is this normal? Here is a pic of the roots and the Sago in the distance.

  19. A very special hakea all the way from Western Australia, the other side of Australia 5000 kms away. It doesn’t mind my climate but a lot of Western Australia plants can be tricky in my wet season, growing successfully until a big wet season hits. Great for growing palms but not dry climate plants from WA. So @Tyrone this ones for you!

  20. Yes, while surprising, I find coralloid roots all over my garden at a similar distance from any Cycads. Some are isolated by paver walkways about 3 feet wide from the closest Cycad. I have drip irrigation and find coralloid roots near the emitters of palms and other non Cycad plants. If you search for posts with "coralloid" in the title, you will find a string I started a few years back with some examples of stray coralloid clumps.

  21. I think we need a new updated thread for these palms... Starting with the big one at Overcliffe Gardens near Dublin in Ireland. This is probably the largest Juania in the British Isles. The Earlscliffe Juania was planted very small back i 1995, so it has been in the ground for 30 years now. The earliest photos I can find are from 2002 and 2003. The third photo below shows it in 2009... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next up we have the Juania specimen at Overbeck's Garden in Salcome, Devon. The Overbecks Juania was apparently planted in 1995 as well, but it was a very small seedling back then. the earliest photos I can find for it are from 2011 and 2013. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Next up we have another legendary Juania at Glendurgan Gardens in Cornwall that has been in the ground about 25 years as well, alongside Dr Kevin Spence for scale... Here is a grainy photo of the Glendurgan Juania from 2012 before it had properly started trunking... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are other decent specimens in southern England and Ireland, which I will update on in due course...

  23. I have always loved chatting about palms/cycads and plants in general with Maria. I've known her and her sons for the better part of 10 years, and she has always been so kind. Maria was the owner of Sago Rey Palms in Fresno, where she continued the business after the passing of her husband Thomas Wash. I was very saddened to hear of a horrible incident at the nursery over Easter weekend, and further saddened to learn of her passing. She will live on in the memory of many of us here in the area (and out of the immediate area) who have crossed paths with her. My garden is full of plants she cared for and nurtured. If any of you got those really blue Sabal uresana seedlings, they came from Maria. A few photos from her obituary: https://kmph.com/news/local/nursery-owner-dies-after-easter-machete-attack-nephew-faces-murder-charge

  28. My (4) Kentiopsis are fruiting for 3-6 years now and some spots under them are wet and shady enough for volunteers. Overall height I estimate at 22-32' tall. They still are a few leaves short(~3-4) of a full crown(10-12 leaves) after Milton stripped them 18 months ago. Some have currently green fruits that will turn red in a couple months if restrictions are lifted and we can get them watered. They are water lovers, maybe its better they have less leaves in a drought. Trouble free palms that add the dark green crownshafts and leaves for a complementary look to the other crownshafts. These do like their Mg, K to stay that darker green color. I dust them along with my cuban copernicias with langbeinite every year and fertilize with florikan palm osmotic release fertilizer. They are so tall, I have to crank my neck to look at the crowns these days. They do provide some good filtered shade for the C. macrocarpas I have under them.
