Been a while since I’ve posted on here. I run Teddys Nursery, a licensed and state-inspected nursery here in Tennessee. Selling mostly cold hardy palms. I’m going to start moving some plants on here at PalmTalk prices — considerably cheaper than my normal online prices. I’ll post pictures, sizes and prices below. Just shoot me a PM if you’re interested. Prices are for the palm only. PM me your address and I’ll show you the exact shipping cost on PirateShip. Everything ships in pots or grow bags. If anyone feels more comfortable buying through eBay, you can also check out Teddys Nursery there and order through my store. https://ebay.io/m/tWPIBT Sabal minor McCurtain 1 gallon $18 Sabal minor Chipola dwarf 1/2 gallon $12 Sabal palmetto 1/2 gallon $12 Washingtonia filifera 1/2 gallon $12 Sabal mexicana 1/2 gallon $12 Sabal pumos 1/2 gallon $12 Sabal mauritiformis 1 gallon $18 Sabal yapa 1 gallon $18 Chamaerops humilis 1 gallon $18 Sabal Birmingham 1 gallon $18 Sabal Louisiana 1 gallon $18 Sabal bermudana 1 gallon $18 Chamaerops humilis ‘Vulcano’ 1 gallon $18 Brahea Armata 1 gallon $22 Sabal minor blountstown dwarf 1 gallon $18 Sabal minor chipola dwarf 1 gallon $18 Livistonia decora 1 gallon $20 Sabal Maritima 1 gallon $18 Sabal brazoriensis 3 gallon $32 Trachycarpus wagnerianus x fortunei hybrid 3 gallon $32 Sabal minor 3 gallon $32

After back to back cones on my female Encephalartos whitlockii x sclavoi, I wasn't expecting a flush this late in the season. I was walking past it this morning and was pleasantly surprised though.

Yes the humidity is not a problem, they like warm soil. But they are slow regardless, they are called the queen of draceanas, and frost is definitely not there friend.

End of summer update ! The palm is loving our tropical weather we have had a lot this summer. Dew points have been close to 70 or higher, & temps have been in the high 90s. The palm is still a slow poke but I can see it definitely speeds up with heat !! 1 leaf opened with a spear chugging along !

My Favorites.

Heat is on thing iam used to, although it may be subtropical my climate, it can be unbearable in summer with temperatures reaching 42 degrees celcius and the humidity we get can be like the tropical climate. As discussed before you can never really water enough with a hose, it just seems to keep everything alive in those conditions that you describe. Spend all day watering in the heat and then do it again the next day. I enjoy seeing the other gardens on palm talk, some real beautiful gardens out there in the world and some great gardeners as well. I learn a lot from seeing other gardens and talking with gardeners you learn even more about plants and gardening. Won’t be long you will be in winter and cursing the cold weather damaging your new palms , the palm growers enemy hot and cold too much of it either way and the plants suffer. Richard

Heterospathe barfordi, young new leaf showing a bit of colour.

6 acres of land and about 2.5 acres is taken by the garden. The garden is about 30 years old. Iam currently expanding the garden and renovating it along with doing the understory.

@PJP I'm in Broward as well. I'm actually in Weston (As far west as it gets.) I have the hybrid and the normal or non-hybrid lipstick palms. I didn't protect them at all and they suffered no damage whatsoever.

Once all the data comes out for the month, and the numbers are official, it can be compared to past year's and determined how close to normal the event was (for any one location, not the state as a whole). Just a cursory glance at local numbers shows it's a once in 10 years event on average here, so not a normal winter by any means (NWS data, soon to be official but viewable now, backs that up). The chill hours and number of freezes will also need calculated and compared to historical numbers. I think the further north and west you are in the state the numbers are more typical for the area, but it depends on the specific location too. Someone in town south of me would shrug it off as just chilly, but ask anyone in Port St. Lucie and the answer will be very different.

just a typical zone 9A winter ---- havent had one in over 10 years ------ these winters occurred regularly in the 1990's

Anecdotally, I would say that this event was the worst I have seen since 1989 mainly due to the wind. The temperatures were bad enough to cause some damage but the wind took it to a whole other level. It was blowing 20-30mph while only at 25-30 degrees. A bad combination for sure. Also, the “protection” of living by the water did nothing as did being in Central Florida. Our lows were not much different than North Florida - 25ish vs 23ish. Pretty much everything with exposure is brown except for Queens, most Phoenix and of course Sabals.

This was the coldest winter in Southeast Florida since 1989. However, it was not as cold. PBIA recorded two nights with low temperatures of 31F for a total of three (3) hours under freezing. It is heartbreaking to see the losses suffered by edge pushers throughout the central part of the state. I would urge them to replant and not be surprised about how many things come back. to that end, I took pictures today of the non-hybrid red sealing wax palms planted in a building just off Phipps Plaza in PB. They were planted three (3) years ago without special care and are still surviving (not thriving). I should note that a weather underground station located near the ocean in Palm Beach recorded lows of 38.3 F and 39.3 F respectively on those cold nights.

Got down to high 20's a few nights. Wind was blowing and temps remained in the 40's for several days. I think the hybrids can take the high 20 and low 30 weather but not for several hours and several days. We usually have temps like that for 1/2 days and not 5. Let's see how it comes back. My non hybrds I had wrapped up for 6 days. no damage to them at all.

My large inground hybrid on the east side of my property in between two large Tri Bears has Zero damage. Had protection from the freezing winds, I guess. The pic above is unprotected on the West side of my property. Will have to think about wrapping it in the future for protection.

It seems like the hybrid lipstick cold tolerance is a bit overstated. I had heard people claim 32 or even 30 with little damage, but I have personally seen large specimens with approximately 50% leaf damage at 35 or 36. Seems like a solid zone 10b or higher palm.

My hybrid lipstick got cooked. Before and after pics

I can get these if there’s enough interest. Smallest/Stoutest Hurricane Palm from Round Island in Indian Ocean. .25 each.

Good Day NatureGirl, Many thanks for the special package of seeds. All are safe and have their liquid warm bath. Suppose to be blizzing today as of now only transparent flakes are falling. Weather people are guessing on how much. Time will tell by tomorrow. Enjoy your days and keep up the great work. Thank you again! ZenMan 1 🌴🌴🌴😁🌞

Looking for seeds or palm either will do, pm me if your selling.

Good Day NatureGirl, How about 35 of these babies for me? Dictyo ‘conjugatum’ Seeds Also, Pinanga’s. P. ‘Blue fruit’/seed’ same amount and same price. Thanks ZenMan 1

Dictyo ‘conjugatum’ Seeds are here, along with 15 fresh Areca novohibernica, if anyone’s interested in those. I can hold off shipping until this cold weather passes if necessary.

😁🌴

Seeds were shipped to me today, should have by Saturday. Thanks

I would be interested in 25, if still available. Thanks

Ok thanks, I requested 500 so that should be enough for everyone.

Good Day NatureGirl, How about 35 of these babies for me? ZenMan 1

Me too.

Me as well!

Id be interested in some

You could just join the Southern Palm Society. I know there's a lot of members from tennessee

See photos of my Borassus aethiopum.

I would guess that a canariensis x roebelenii would have a canopy quite a bit larger than the canopies on the reclinata x roebelenii in my front yard.
