Weeds in the Garden

[BPK Palm Addict]

The bad news is it looks like I need to do some weeding in the garden.

The good news is all my weeds are Satakentia liukiuensis.

 

What are your weeds?

[Steve Mac]

Howea forsteriana

[PalmatierMeg]

Ptychosperma elegans & Archonotophoenix maxima

[Tyrone]

No I have real weeds. You make me sick.

[kinzyjr]

The palm "weeds" that I get are primarily sabal palmetto and roebelenii.  The birds nest in my phoenix roebelenii and carry fruit from the neighbors' sabal palmettos.

[Really full garden]

In my highland garden its Chamaedorea tepejilote. They are everywhere . They sprout in my gutters, in my bromeliads ,every crevice imaginable.

In my beach garden its Thrinax radiata, Wodyetia and Bismarckia.

[masatepino]

Dypsis lutescens, P. macarthurii, P. elegans, Adonidia, Licuala grandis, some Roystonias and a few Cocos..

[greysrigging]

Lots of self sown MacArthurii, Elegans, Caryota Mitis, Carpentaria, Queens, Livistonias, Archontophoenix, Dypsis, Foxtails.... Once ( when I was young and keen ) I used to dig 'em up and cultivate in pots. Now I just treat 'em all as weeds, and am forever plucking seedlings out of every nook and cranny in the paving, concrete, roof gutters, lawn etc. When you buy locally produced potting mix, sometimes unidentified ( usually Ptychosperma of some sort ) seedlings come up.

Our extreme Wet-Dry climate helps to mitigate the spread of exotic palms in the bush, but local permanent wetlands and creek systems are susceptible to non native palm colonization. Local bird species and fruit bats feed on a huge variety of native and exotic palm species in the Top End and I do have some unidentified palms in the garden that I'm sure I didn't plant....

I've decided to come here and complain about Florida Betony, Stachys floridana (AKA rattlesnake weed) and Chamberbitter, Phyllanthus urinaria (AKA little mimosa), pictured below. This year's abundant rainfall has made the battle particularly fierce.

Would love to have the problem of  " weedy " Veitchia ..anything, seedlings to thin out.  lol. 

Sago, Dypsis l., Washingtonia r. ( Pure W. filifera are tolerable, haha ) ..and Queen seedlings?.. to the compost pile w/ all of 'ya!. 

Bermuda ..The evil spawn of any yard..  All other weeds  are easily delt with,  by hand.  

Yes, those are actual measurements of a couple pieces pulled while cleaning up the front yard last month, as shared elsewhere in another thread..

All of you with good palms should sell them like @PalmatierMeg does I bought a lot of her roystonea weeds!!

[DoomsDave]

I get lots of avocado and shamel ash volunteers
