An afternoon planting palms Howea fosteriana, dypsis lanceolata, Areca loaensis, lanonia dasyatha

[happypalms]

Spent the afternoon in the garden planting a few palms just for fun. Howea is an old plant that has been in the container for 20 years just sitting around. The lanceolata I germinated about 4 years back. The  Areca loaensis I purchased from Plumtree pocket nursery it got planted in a vacant spot in the garden. The dasyatha is from imported seeds. With the weather being perfect for planting get as many palms in the ground as soon as possible. Also an unknown chamaedorea got plantetd just for fun. So a few more palms tucked in the garden the only one that’s new to the collection is the loaensis. The rest are already in the garden but you can never have enough palms planted.

A nice lot of pretty babies. As usual, every time I see a gorgeous dypsis it's a bloody clumper.  My poor Kentias need planting too but anyone who goes outside in this area lately is at risk of drowning.  It pi.... oops I mean poured down all day again today.

Iam going to build an ark the way it’s been raining lately. And I will take two varieties of every palm in the genus with me.

We have had two years in a row of above average rainfall . It sure makes the ground nice for planting. I have added at least ten palms to a mature garden. Nice looking Howea and others .you have there. My lanceolata looks like it will be a fast grower. It hasn’t shown any sign of clumping , @peachy , but it is a beauty. I have learned , through this forum , they can grow as singles . We’ll see as it is still a baby . It will be interesting , Richard , if you experience the faster growth once planted. Harry

It can rain as much as it wants I love the rain being a gardener. They do pick up speed in the ground,I planted one about a year ago and it’s getting stronger each new leaf putting on weight like a sumo wrestler. Especially in the warm weather and rain once you plant them they take off. Practically all dypsis once planted in the ground in my garden just take off I don’t have many  failures with dypsis sp chamaedorea sp and New Caledonia sp they all do well in my climate.
