Hi,

I have made a new corner in the garden, you can see that over here: http://palmtalk.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboar...t=ST;f=4;t=5553

But i have planted a vulcano in this new corner, it's a small one but it's a start. :)

Also another Chamaerops humilis with little round leaves, very different then the other Chamaerops humilis that i have! :)

Hi Robbin,

Excellent work on the yard. Looks really good. I think the sabals would do great in your climate as well however, since you have lots of palmate specimens already, I would try to add few pinnate specimens. If you were to put one in I would choose a Phoenix Humilis in your yard. It doesnt grow more than 20 ft ( which is perfect for the small corner ) and can take low temperatures not to mention it looks really kool (to me at least). However, I think your yard looks great as it is.

Thanks for the reactions!

About Sabal species, i have a young plant form the Sabal etonia in pot, i want to plant this one out if he is a little bigger. And i have seedlings from tthe Sabal etonia and palmetto and one seedling from the uresana.

Already in the ground i have the Sabal, i was thinking it was a mexicana, but maybe a texensis?

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!
