Hi All

Someone sent me these pictures today

Here is something very unusual in a Syagrus

What could cause this?

I've seen this quite a bit on Archontophoenix cunninghamiana in habitat. I have no idea as to the cause, but it generally happens in the first 2m of trunk. Root growth from this point can be quite extensive.

Build a box around that and do a giant air layer.

So many species,

so little time.

Gonzer - what is that colorful succulent looking type plant to the right of the trunk in your top photo? Looks kinda cool.

Moose, its a Kalanchoe 'Flapjack'. That's the reddest that I have seen one. Maybe because its out in full sun, or maybe lack of water

Correct. K. thyrsiflora known AS the 'Flapjack' plant. Full sun with no water so Kahili's right on all counts. The Syagrus were switched over to micro bubblers during the renovation of the area.
