This isn't entirely palm related, but I wouldn't be here without the love and knowledge I've learned from this community so I'm posting it here. I live in a small town, downtown is like old skool buildings, think Mayberry. A lady bought out an old storefront on the main street downtown, and plans to turn it into a plant boutique. Her mom, her aunt, her baby - they showed up with a squad to buy some colocasias from me. She's seen my social media feed and seen my whole operation now. Welp, it's gonna be early next year, but it looks like Sancho's Green Paws plants will be available for purchase in her store. I'm both stoked and terrified at the same time. On one hand, I'm trying to set up a Palmstreet store so I can pay some bills and on the other hand, it's like now I need to hang on to stuff to grow it out, and- I mean, I'd also kinda like to keep some stuff for myself. Y'all, anxiety is not cool.3 points

Not a bad idea I might just go and do a Johnny Appleseed with them in some of the hardest growing areas. Everything to gain and nothing to lose. Richard1 point

I use pelletised chicken manure all the time even in the planting hole with soil I remove from my chicken pen and have never had an adverse reaction. I use Rooster Booster from that nationwide chain of stores that starts with B then a U. You get it. I very much doubt the problem is fertiliser burn. Only roundup destroys that quickly (2 weeks) Anyway I think it is a soil pathogen that has killed it stone dead. I’ve had similar things happen here in wetter areas and sort of randomly. Normally the main spear stalls, rots out, then falls over leaving the older leaves intact but the palm is essentially dead then. For all the leaves to give up at once though kind of says a root disease/pathogen.1 point

The 15 gallon trithrinax acanthocoma safely made it to the Sacramento area in great shape.I am anxiously awaiting to hear from Texas on the 15 g Brahea E. And super silver. I mention because I can ship.1 point

I think I found my solution, the travellers palm (ravenela madagascariensis) I may buy two 15 gallon and one 25 gallon and place them staggered so the smaller specimens have width and the taller one gives height. I think it should provide relatively good screening even when they grow taller.1 point

Great palm. But what makes this Lanonia different from L.dasyantha? Location for sure but what about leaf shape and infloresence? Could it be Lanonia dasyantha var. Yunanensis?1 point

Two different palms have come in over the years as Dypsis (now Chrysalidocarpus) Sp. Ambanja. The first was a multi trunk palm somewhat like Baronii. The second was a larger solitary palm. Mine has just revealed its first ring of trunk and is a really nice looking palm. Has similar characteristics as Leucomalla (white spear and coloring) and Sp. Dark Mealy Bug with the black flecking. But has a unique look of its own. Anyone else growing this?

Up the back yard near the propagating hothouse is the sancona, it endures many a tough time and is in need of a good feed. But finally after 26 years we have a trunk forming. Some palms in my climate just want water, this one is in a dry spot without irrigation donuts done quite well considering the circumstances it grows under, basically in the bush!

Some of the many Brahea brandegeei blooming in old palm canyon in the western edition of Balboa Park. I believe this old palm canyon is over 100 years old.
