Royals (especially Cubans) get so tall you just don’t remember to look up and the leaves on my late Butch weighed about 65-70 pounds when they fell. 

Butch was pushing 50 feet in 18 years. So awesome! So beautiful! And such a pain.

That’s insane Dave! I probably won’t be in this house in 15 years. But sadly I’m sure 99% of my palms will be removed by the next owner.

@DoomsDave do the leaves stay green, detach and fall while in a horizontal position?

Coldest March for many years here apparently. Another cold spell on its way..  Last year's spring was the coldest on record too. I compare our weather with that of Valencia and it's so much warmer there. I don't know how Royals would do.

Ahahaha, as long as temperature has not sunk yet below 0 C, situation remains bearable. A Royal is the furthest limit, that you can push the envelope in our climate . Οι Ιθπανοί μας (δηλ Αττική) τρωνε δυστυχώς σε ζεστο κλίμα χειμώνα και άνοιξη σε όλη τη μεσογειακη ακτή τους μέχρι πάνω Βαρκελώνη. Έχω διαβασει επαναδημοσιευμενο αρθρο της Εστίας απο τις αρχες του 20ου αιωνα που λέει οτι η Αθηνα είναι πιο κρύα και από Βαρκελώνη και από Νίκαια και προσομοιάζει το κλίμα με αυτό της Νάπολης. Υπαρχουν φοίνικες που δεν αντέχουν παρατεταμένες χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες, αυτούς να τους αποφεύγετε, άσχετα τι κανουν οι Ιθπανοί, δεν είναι συγκρίσιμα τα μεγέθη. Και υπαρχουν πολλοί άλλοι φοινικες που αντέχουν χαμηλες θερμοκρασίες αλλά όχι παγετό, πχ κεντιες, αρχοντοφοίνικες, καποιες πριτσάρδιες, ροπαλόστυλεις. Αυτή τη στιγμη που μιλάμε πχ οι μπισμάρκιές μου μεγαλώνουν, αργα αλλα σταθερά.  Εντάξει δε θα βάλλετε κοπερνικίες, υοφόρβες και λικουάλες, αυτά ξεχαστε τα, όπως και τους περισσότερους σύαγρους. Αλλά αυτό είναι το κλίμα μας, η το αποδεχόμαστε και προσαρμοζόμαστε η μεταναστεύουμε.  Στο τέλος της ημερας θα διαπιστώσετε οτι το στοίχημα είναι να προστατέψουμε οσα περισσότερα φυτά μπορουμε απο τον σπάνιο παγετό και τίποτε παραπανω. Η διατήρηση και εστω ενος μονο φοινικα με crownshaft συνιστά στο κλιμα της Αττικής από μονη της μια πρόκληση, γιατί απλά έχουν απο μικρή ως μηδαμινη αντοχη στον παγετο, που ευτυχως ειναι σπάνιος στα παράλια της Αττικής, αλλά οι χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες δεν είναι.

See the bright side: New season for rpw and paysandisia will also be delayed. It may be not yet of importance to you, because you have only few and small palms in your collection, but by someone having palms of over 20 years old in the garden, this aspect has to be also taken in to consideration.

Hello, I've actually shown a Roystonea in Cambrils (above 41°N) years back here on PT, it must be 20 years old already at this point. 

The mildest coastal areas in Tarragona grow lots of species, papaya fruits also grow there as far as I know.

In Barcelona at 42°N given its extreme mildness caused by its natural sheltering + strong UHI inside the city (just compare the airport station, located on a different city 15km south of Barcelona with 0 UHI to the station located inside the city) bananas and papayas grow without any major problem, as well as Kentias enjoy that climate, Beccariophoenixes and Archontophoenixes grow quite fast as well, although I don't know about the existence of Roystoneas in Barcelona they must grow there if Kentias do as Barcelona has hot (and muggy) summers compared to the Atlantic Coast of Spain.

Here you actually have the website of a palm nursery called Tropipalms located in Miami Platja south of Cambrils (coastal Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain) above 41°N and just look at their palms, fruits and trees in general which are extensively grown there and they're of course outdoors and suitable for the climate of that coastal area, because if they weren't, they wouldn't grow them outdoors in large containers and in such large scales. 

https://plantas.net/es/

They actually have some types of bananas, as well as avocados, mangos, guavas, papayas and even passion fruits. 

As for palms - Roystoneas , Archontophoenixes , Howeas , Bismarckias , Dypsis and so on... of course many other types of less exotic palms as well (or maybe more, but for me these are the ones I consider exotic) however you can see all of them in the site, which is in various languages and they have pics of everything. You will surely enjoy the pics, they have small potted forests of almost each of these species!

The climate of that area is not properly shown by AEMET averages as the only long term stations are located in the inland towns of Tortosa and Reus, Tortosa being much further inland thus having warmer summers and cooler winters while Reus is not as inland (also quite inland) but it's even cooler, thus being considerably colder in comparison. Tortosa has a surprising annual average given its latitude and inland area though, and the 1991-2020 averages that will be published soon already show an annual average above 18°C which is an impressive value given the location.

The city of Tarragona surprisingly doesn't have any long term AEMET station offering averages (it does have AEMET Observational ones as well as Catalan Regional METEOCAT stations) same applies for Cambrils, Salou or other important coastal towns from that area. I don't just understand why they didn't place stations offering long term averages in such important areas!

The Vilaseca (coastal town) official Meteocat station had a lowest record of -1.6°C from 1971 to 2000 and the day Reus Airport recorded its lowest temp on history (-8°C in February 1983) the Vilaseca station only recorded -1°C so look at the extreme difference it from the coastline to just 20 kilometers inland! Reus is 9a (the same as MADRID!) Tortosa is 9b/10a while the city of Tarragona and the coastal towns are strongly 10a as well. That's why they can grow so many exotic species.

A question about those places, out of curiousity: Despite their mildness, do they have winter heat?
I mean, it's definetely helpful if the temperature never drops under -1C (for example), but if during the daytime it doesn't surpass 10C, it won't help the cause.

As we've discussed a lot of times, that's the problem with Greece. I suspect ou devilish wind is the culprit, keeping high temperatures at miserably low levels sometimes.

Almost every time I look in Windy.com, there is wind blowing from the Black sea down to Crete (where it usually takes a turn and goes to the Levant region).
This is always bringing cold air from Russia/Ukraine to Greece, which I believe is the cause we lack winter heat.

Yes of course they have acceptable (I wouldn't call them warm) winter daytimes. The January high average of Tortosa (1991-2020 AEMET OpenData) is 15.0°C and the February one is already 16.7°C while as the rest of Spain they have the "luck" to have quick early Spring warm-ups instead of high seasonal lag. March is already 19.8°C and April is already 22.2°C while winter lows are 6.4°C / 5.8°C / 6.1°C (Dec-Jan-Feb) keep in mind this is Tortosa which is inland actually, so the coastline is even milder.

On 28th January 2021 Tortosa reached 28.1°C settling a new January record. Of course such a winter temp is very rare but just to let you know it happened just 1 year ago and it was during January at 41°N which is quite crazy. 

It's not rare for them to have +20°C winter days. Highs under 10°C are actually rare, much more than warm highs. They tend to have more high pressure days with cool nights and warm days rather than cool daytime temps. That area has been growing oranges and tangerines for centuries back in history so it's nothing new! It's in the Delta of one of the Iberian Peninsula biggest rivers (Ebro) and that depression contributes to keep temperatures warm.

Hmm... I remember the days between Christmas and New Year. I was in Dikastika and it was sunny and 19-20C every day for a week (almost).
It is too early for Alcyon days, but maybe that was it.

In January and February I was in Berlin (I study here), so I don't know first hand. My family and friends told me than the whole January was relatively cold but February was ok-ish.

As for March... let's not talk about it! It turned out to be colder than the winter months.

Check out the temperatures for Nea Makri (first photo) and Piraeus (second photo):

Ah, an addition to my last post.

I know that March is only halfway through, so the above comparison isn't the best. However with the new cold wave coming, I don't expect it to be higher than February. Unless the end of the month gets very warm to compensate for the low temperatures in the first half.

Alicante, sure you know this street in Barcelona. These Archontos were planted quite a long time ago, and quite tall.

It makes no sense that a touristic city like Barcelona only has got this street lined with these palms. There are Phoenix and Washingtonias by the thousands, bur it seems that they are the only "exotic" touch politicians know of.

Yes, it's ashaming, that image is the living proof of how King Palms (Archontophoenixes) bask in the climate of Barcelona, as well as Kentias (Howeas) do from the ones you can sparsely find at the front of some buildings in small green areas or in private gardens, it's very sad they're not publicly planted in a bigger scale even in the newer parks but they just stick to Washingtonias and Phoenixes, and some kind of ugly decidious trees that don't even live that well in that climate given their muggy summers (unsure about their species) the leaves of the trees I'm talking about start to become brown in late July yet they still plant them... ahh Spanish public authorities, they're all pricks! :wacko:

 

At least Jacarandas are becoming more and more common in Barcelona which gives it that beautiful vibrant color made by the trees by late May (yet it's still not much) but something is something. Don't think in Valencia they're better giving the amazing climate Valencia has... they're maybe even worse!

Small cities or even towns between Valencia and Alicante have much more publicly planted exotic species than Valencia city has in general. The only big Spanish city which has exotic gardening showing its real climate capacity is Málaga.

Αυτή η πρόταση νομίζω τα λέει όλα: "One would think that a gradually cooling winter might give palms an opportunity to "harden off" or acclimate. But not so according to Goldstein (1989), who found that a sudden cold frost or freeze was far less devastating than an extended cold spell where temperatures never dropped to freezing." 

Το πρόβλημά μας είναι ότι το χειμώνα μπορεί για μια βδομάδα η μέγιστη θερμοκρασία να είναι 5 βαθμοί. Σε αυτή τη μελέτη δεν αναφέρονται οι μέγιστες θερμοκρασίες. Επίσης σύμφωνα με αυτή τη μελέτη σχεδόν όλοι οι φοίνικες αντέχουν μια χαρά τον -1! Ακόμα και τους -2...   :hmm:

Κοίτα οι κοκοφοίνικες μια χαρά τη βγάζουν στο Μαϊάμι που μπορεί να δει και -1 στιγμιαία. Απλά μες στη μέρα ανεβαίνει στους 25 και επανέρχονται.

Τώρα το -3 μου φαίνεται ακραίο, κάτι παίζει με την έρευνα εκεί

Να διαχωρίζετε μεταξύ cool tolerant (που δεν είναι οι κοκοφοίνικες) και cold tolerant ( που είναι). Κι εμένα η Pritchardia hillebrandii το 2017 επεζησε απο -1,8C που τη δίνουν μεχρι -1.  Αλλά αυτη η ελάχιστη δεν διήρκεσε ούτε δυο ώρες και ηταν χωρις χιόνι. Ευτυχώς τοτε χιόνισε την μεθεπόμενη το πρωί με θετικές τιμές και μεχρι το μεσημέρι της ίδιας ημερας είχε λιώσει το χιόνι. Τότε αποφυλλώθηκε και Staphanotis που εχω περικοκλαδα στο μπαλκόνι, ενώ ούτε πέρσι ούτε φετος δεν έχει αποφυλλωθεί. Οπότε το -3 για κοκοφοινικα υπό ειδικες συνθήκες παίζει να ισχύει.

@Victor G. and @ego αυτή η φωτογραφία παρθηκε σήμερα από τον κηπο μου με την μπισμάρκια να ανοίγει φύλλο παρά τις χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες. Αρκεί μα είναι ξερή η ατμόσφαιρα και σ' αυτό ευτυχώς βοηθά πολύ ο βοριάς. Στη γαλλία με πιο υγρή ατμόσφαιρα το ίδιο είδος σαπίζει εύκολα κι ας έχουν πιο ψηλές μέσες το χειμώνα.  Τελικά δεν είναι όλα μαύρο η άσπρο.

Ωραίος! Είναι τόσο ευαίσθητη στο κρύο η μπισμάρκια; Γιατί έχω δει πολλούς να καίγονται για το αν μπορούν να τη μεγαλώσουν.

Και νόμιζα ότι έχουμε παντού στην Αθήνα, αλλά μάλλον τη μπερδεύω με τη ουασινγκτόνια....

Κάτσε, εννοείς ότι ο χειμώνας της Γαλλίας (ακτογραμμή Ατλαντικού) είναι πιο ήπιος από της Αθήνας;

Μιλάω για μεσογειακη ακτη της Γαλλιας απο Αντίπολη περίπου και δυτικα μεχρι συνορα με Ιταλία ( έχει τους πιο ήπιους χειμώνες λόγω του μπλόκου από τις Άλπεις) και ιταλικη ριβιερα επίσης. Στην Ίσκια εξω απο Ναπολη μεγαλώνουν στο βοτανικό κηπο καποιες μπισμαρκιες, αλλα πραγματικα η δική μου δείχνει υγειέστερη λόγω περισσότερου ξηρού αέρα. Μπερδεύεις Washingtonia με Bismarckia.

@Victor G. and @ego εδώ ακόμη δύο σημερινες φωτογραφίες, η πρώτη απο Jubaeopsis caffra (το πιο κοντινό Ersatz του κοκοφοίνικα) και μια πιο μικρη μπισμάρκια. Και αυτή ανοίγει φύλλο. 

20220319_182709.thumb.jpg.2746758eff3854ccad589653c79784bc.jpg20220319_182623.thumb.jpg.f05ee3aa28f487186cb18173495955a1.jpg20220319_182629.thumb.jpg.b203887fd12089e7794abbee131a1077.jpg

Όπως βλέπετε δεν έχουμε και λίγες επιλογες, όσον αφορα είδη που δεν έχουν crownshaft. Αλλού είναι η λουμπα, οτι αυτά που δεν έχουν crownshaft είνα πιο ευπρόσβλητα από σκαθάρι και πεταλούδα...

Αυτά που έχουν φύλλα σαν την ουασινγκτόνια (δηλ. που ανοίγουν σαν βεντάλια) δεν μου αρέσουν από άποψη σχήματος.

Αλλά το πρώτο είναι πολύ ωραίο (το σημείωσα στη μελλοντική λίστα!). Κρατάει καλά γενικά; Ή είναι στα όρια τα παίζει-δεν τα παίζει; (από απόψη κλίματός μας πάντα)
Από τη φωτογραφία μου φαίνεται ότι το ταλαιπώρησε λίγο ο χειμώνας

Είναι σε πολύ καλυτερη κατάσταση από αυτη που φαίνεται και νομίζεις. Αλλά και αυτος δεν ειναι τυπικός χειμώνας. Το πρόβλημα είναι να μεγαλώσεις σπορόφυτο, μετά παίρνει τη σειρά του.

Κανένα, γιατι τα σκοτώνω πρώτα εγώ απο τους πολλούς ψεκασμούς, που δημιουργουν ύστερα από μακρύ χρονικό διάστημα μύκητες!
