Hole from Hell

[dan.vagnoni]

Ok so maybe its not that bad but its probably one of gnarliest I've tried to dig on my property. Not the best photos but I'm trying to plant something to the left of an old spanish lime stump, like right next to it. Yeah yeah get a stump grinder... well I cant fit one back here... so we've just been chainsawing the thick roots and busting out limestone with the bar. Literally no soil down there and I dont know if I'm gonna get much farther

So who's got some planting ideas? My first candidates (because i have them already and they need a home) would be a group of chamaedorea adscendens as they do very well in almost no soil down here. second is a Dypsis robusta in a 5 gallon which might be more of a gamble but I figure It might just power through that crap. Any input? or other suggestions?

Also too shady for any coccothrinax or anything like that

Wow , looks like fun! I think whatever you put there , plant it as a small 1 to 5 g , should do fine!

Chamaedorea metallica which naturally grows in limestone may be the happiest there, and there's plenty of room for it.

Gaussia princeps grows on limestone rock, so does Dracaena cambodiana.

Try googleing this "site:rarepalmseeds.com lime stone" and you're gonna find all sorts of palms that will grow in that hole.
