Now some daytime pics

[tikitiki]

Most of these palms have survived the really two back to back winters we had a few seasons back. For the ones that did not I'll point that out. the Pritchardia hillebrandii has not been through but the last winter. It did not go through the two really cold ones.

The Dypsis leptocheilos I had were killed from the 2nd cold winter after 8 years of steady growth. I replaced them with these.

[tikitiki]

The Attalea in the background is new this year. It replaces an Arenga pinnata that died. There is a pic of an Arenga pinnata later on that did make it through the past 6 winters and a better pic of the Attalea.

[tikitiki]

These three have made it through the past two but not the one before.

[tikitiki]

The Gaussia princeps has made it past the last two but not the one before.

Where are you located?

[tikitiki]

The Copernicia gigas and Copernicia berteroana were put in two months before the 1st of the back to back winters and made it through. They have been in the ground little over three years now and are just about recovered.

[tikitiki]

This has been in the ground for 7 years and was flowering. It was knocked back to a stunp after the st really bad freeze but has grown quite well.

[tikitiki]

[tikitiki]

The kroc has been through one winter I think but the two Licualas have been through the last 4. Not sure of the species of the one Licuala. I think it started with MER? Jeff feel free to chime in. it has never shown any damage. The other Licuala ramsayi has seen damage.

[tikitiki]

This is new for this year as well.

[tikitiki]

You can see where this Ylang Ylang was killed back to a four foot stump but has taken off nicely

[tikitiki]

All the Archontophoenix species are in this area. They all made it through the two bad winters. The tuckeri had its spear pull but came through and did not miss a beat. they were planted the year Jeff in Tampa became Jeff in CR.

the only species to die was Archontophoenix purpurea. I had three but they all killed over. they have been replaced. They had grown from a one gallon to 5 feet of wood. So I felt it was worth replacing them. The Dictyosperma album has only been through the last winter.

[tikitiki]

These guys have been in the ground for about 8 years and do not move. They are missing something as you see on the leaves so any help would be great.

[tikitiki]

This Licuala peltata var. sumawongii is new this year but I have had a smaller one in the yard for the past 6 years so I got a bigger one.

[tikitiki]

[tikitiki]

Not sure what these are but they are new. Just like the Licuala grandis in there with them. However I do have a Licuala grandis in the ground that has made it thorugh the past three winters.

[tikitiki]

This last Licuala never shows any damage evn through the last really cold winters. Not sure what it is either, I just really like Liculas so I buy them and through them in the ground. I have several more that are growing out of damage from three years ago and I did not take pics of them.

Tom, did you get all those Archontophoenix from me? Or just the A. tuckeri? They have really grown! I remember you made a couple trips from Orlando to Tampa before I moved, but I can't remember what you took home except for the tuckeri that I ripped out of the ground. BTW, that was Fall of 2006 when I sold all my potted palms in anticipation of my move.

[Jason in Orlando]

Hey Tom, I noticed what looked like a poinciana, or perhaps a jacaranda. Which is it (if either), and how did it do for you over the past three winters?

Tom,

The Licuala came in from seed listed as, Licuala merquensis. A clumping species and a vigerous grower. I don't know anything about cold tolerance though.

BTW, your really creating a nice little jungle up there. I like that your pushing the limits on some species. You'll be surprise on how many will make it that far north.

Very nice! What is the palm in the second photo of post #17?

They did all come from you. After seeing how well they have done I wish I would have bought more.

It is a poinciana. It grew from a smal two foot plant to about a fourty foot spread. It died back to a stump but has bounced back nicely.

Just noticed the comments with that post. I should try reading....

This Licuala is one of the most cold hardy palm im my yard including the washies and bismark. A winner. If anyone wants a licuala in there yard sell them this one. It has never missed a beat even through the coldest winters.
