Your last photo, especially, makes me homesick for the Big Island. :wub:

Is the second photo Dypsis 'Orange Crush'? Or...? (Showing off my poor palm ID skills.) ^_^

 No Kim it is a redneck or teddy bear palm but it does look pretty similar.  If the lighting was a little better in the photo probably be easier to tell.

 I get homesick seeing your photos of the big Island when I'm stuck on the mainland.  I just hope sooner or later I can get back to planning palms.

Nice little grove!!  They may be slow now, but they will pick up later.  That's going to be awesome when they begin to trunk.

 Coconut palm in the center with two spiny palms on the side.  I think they're supposed to also have stilts on the spiny palm but I can't remember.  But they were planted from a four-inch pot  so they're coming along pretty fast.

 Back on the mainland already.  Hope my next trip maybe you guys might be doing a garden tour on the Hilo side.  Sad is I'm around so many good nurseries in the neighborhood but no time to go visit them.  I didn't even get the plant one new palm tree the trip :(  But I did plant some seed I got from the fox tails in the McDonald's parking lot by me Lol.

 The palm with the yellow leaves is one I just got from Bills my last trip.  This photo was taken before I cleaned up a little with the Weedwhacker.

You should have planted a couple Albizias, the yard doesn't seem complete without one or two....thousand:evil: in The picture with the Betel nut and Windows palm- is that fog or rain? Just trying to figure your general area, but I guess it all looks the same out there wether you're in Leilani or Hawaiian acres.

 

It looks like you have a good bunch of plantings, you will really enjoy those not only now but as they get larger too. I have found that you really can't overfertilize those Chambys out there. I use the plain old Osmokote whenever I get out there, but I have noticed that they all really like an extra dose of sul-po-mag, which you can buy at Pahoa Feed and Fertilizer if you're near there. Keep up the good work, I enjoyed the pictures!

 Patrick it was raining in the photo.  I do kill a lot of Albizias some are in the photos above.  Because my neighbor bulldozed is whole lot I am letting one albizias tree and some other invasive trees grow for right now.  To make my lot a little more private.  In this photo behind the shed is where they are growing.

 I am going to miss the window of my windows palm. I was told that it disappears when the palm matures.

 My teddy bear seems to be doing pretty well also.  But the way it looks I think it should be called Kermit the frog .

 The palm tree above the teddy bear is real colorful but no matter how I take a photo it never comes out showing how colorful it is.  I just wonder if it is ever going to go to seed?

 I ended up hacking back some of my ginger because it was completely shitting out some of my palm trees.  The clumping palm in the background is my fastest growing palm tree I have.
