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!

Thanks for the tour Jason. Looks like you had a fun time! You got me stumped on that mystery palm in post #4. Those flower spikes should be a hint.

Jason - whatever the reason for those painted trunks, it is similarly done to fruit trees to prevent sunburn. Applying white, insecticide-based paint to repel crawling insects such as ants, is also another reason to paint the trunks of trees. This often inspires local authorities to copy the practice for the sake of appearances, especially if the trees are in prominent locations.

Great photos!

About the white paint, as John says, it is often an insecticidal treatment in the Caribbean.

Keep up the great posts. --Erik

Sweet pics intrepid palm hunter!

I'd have to guess at your mystery seedling to be a washie and the mystery pahm in #4 looks like a Thrinax to me (likely T radiata)... kinda hard to tell by the pic.

Thanks for sharing! Looks like ya'll had a fun trip.

Very nice cruise pics, more please!! I second the seedling in #2 must be a Washingtonia robusta seedling. The royal trunk is really nice looking. The white paint - at least from my experience growing up in the tropics - is just for looks. They paint the base of the trees because that's just regional custom; someone's idea of "looks better than just plain old wood". They do the same for lightpoles and street signs.
