Well Group,

I was on the look out for a new palm this weekend that i couldn't live without and was caught by a couple of the members. they asked about my yard and i figured id get home take a few pictures and show everyone where it is at now. i found the topic of my first posting where i had a rusty fence, weeds like Bill, and not one palm in the ground. Here is where it is at today i will do the right side tonight and take some pictures of the left side tomorrow. here you go. hope you enjoy looking at them as much as i do!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Looking bloody fantastic . You have dine the same as what i did,using boulder for the garden edge . Lovely Howeas, double Rhopalostylis baeuri and big thumping Hedyscepe ( one of my favorites ) . Have you got any Burriokentia and chambeyronia ,they would go well with the Oceanic palm theme.

At the age of 24 the garden is a credit to you . When i bought my first place i was 24 too but used to decorate the yard with beer cans instead :rolleyes:

Palm freak your garden looks awesome! I would love to see the before shots if you can link the thread. One word of caution, be very careful with those tiki torches. I have learned the hard way (twice) that you can take out a mature palm with about 12oz of lamp oil spilled near the trunk. Those bamboo torches can rot out in the ground and fall over.

The paths and the palms look very nice. Sweet cycads :drool: Looks like you've had some good growth. Is that all perlite or pumice that is amended with you soil?

Hmmmmmm, looks more along the lines of Steve's dypsis mystery. The leaflets are too wide and the leaves are twisted similar to Dypsis decipiens, but it's obviously skinnier than DD. Anyone else think this is a weird one?

Matt, if you want it to be a mystery dypsis so it be, but i did purchase it as deciepiens and im pretty sure that it is DD. Thank you all for the compliments once i feel the other side is worthy ill snap some more pictures with the overall backyard. Then the front yard is the next big step.

Matt,

thats pumice, i use the kellogs palm and cactus mix which seems to be the best the i have found. its is a little more expensive since you buy it in bags rather than bulk but ive been able to grow palms and cycads side by side without having any rot on the cycads which you know dont like as much water as most palms.

Thanks david randy and ed, it should turn into something sooner or later. i figure 10 more years and itll be something to look at and ill still only be 34 to enjoy for another few years im sure it will get to the point where i will take something out and put something else in. not to much room to work with so it is what it is.
