Stretched and underpotted, whatever do you mean?

Sooooo, finally trying to get the palms that have rooted into the front yard moved/ready to pot up for future ACTUAL planting..

Found this 5 gal Dypsis cabadae was nestled near the Jubea and was fighting hard to find some sun.. I'll add others I find too. Just put a 15 gal Brahea elegans in a tub...

Yeah, I would say it is a bit stretched . . .

Why not just stick in the ground?

Hoping to start up on the remodel and finish it soon Dave. 

 

PTD, the Jubea basically is a 20+' circle of palm bush.. anything within 6' is really hurting for sun..

:yay:It will be a chuckle seeing the short stubby things it will put out when it gets moved to the sun.  Such a contrast with these lanky leaves!

When you say you "found" it????? Was it missing or you had forgotten about it? Either way it leads me to believe you have an out of control pot ranch :lol:

who knows what else you might find out there

Kenny, I thought you were well acquainted with my "container ranch". Probably 60-70% of my plants are still in pots awaiting planting. So, "Yes" they are found as such because They get placed "temporarily"... and then another palm gets placed "temporarily" in front of or next to it.. and as they grow, some get obscured by either other plants or weeds..

I knew where this Brahea elegans was... in a 15 gal pot that had split on all sides and was mostly a root mass above ground. I dug it up and drug it and hoisted it into a large tub... for now..

Its now out front with the pembana getting a bit more of the sun they were both looking for. In the winter, the house blocks most of the sun, but is very bright..

 

The Dypsis visible near the tub is the next one up for "fresh boxing"... :blink:

Fronds of the aforementioned...

First, looks like the Brahea did not like the dig up... Dypsis is slowly plugging along.

Another one... not stretched, but rooted in and no soil. I've had this Chambeyronia houliou for a looooog time. The soil had settled way down and the level was a good 4" below the base of the palm.. I wanted to get it potted up and ready for the upcoming rain. I figured now is as good a time as ever.

I found 2 more that I dug up to transplant into larger pots. These were both in TWO gallon pots, sitting on the soil in a 40 gal tub Dypsis sp. slick willy.

They are now in 15 gal pots.

The center one is (was labeled as Dypsis ankizenensis or the like.). I was hoping it was some sort of hybrid. There was also a couple "Abre' ojos" Syagrus seedlings dug from under Bobs palm years back. The Chambeyronia in foreground right is back growing again and pushed about 1/4" or more.. :)

So Bill, were we supposed to be focused on the palm in the foreground or the weeds in the background in this photo :floor: .  On a serious note, how is that Dypsis cabadae doing?  I'm interested, as I'm giving mine almost full day exposure down here in Leucadia, just a few miles south.  It seems fine with lots of sun, but its only a little over a year now in the ground.

Yeah, well our recent heavy rains this year and early nightfall makes for great weed growing opportunities!! :blink: The D. cabadae is plugging along and the biggest one has pushed about 2". The most obvious thing I've noted as sunburn EVERYWHERE along the south side of the plant. It was very shaded..
