The poor Bee,

I love the yellow and pink plants Jim.

I found this for the size to expect of the Cala Hercules in case anyone wants to know.

Aeeeeeeeewe wow!

I can't wait for my Trachi to grow older.

Your neighboiurs must be so jealous, I know I would be Josef.

I was Interested in the Trachicarpus, Having bought my first I was going to be worrying about it surviving this winter, the label says -18....-2 at the moment. These palms have received no care since August. Wow, thats so amazing! I hope your better now. Lovely palms Erik, thanks for sharing them!

I am a member at EPS, also I think GFTE, very rarely go to GFTE. I joined also Cycadelic I think it was, that was quite new I think...not been there either for a while. I don't grow tropicals apart from two Cycads and a Trachicarpus but I do like the variety of new people forums offer...their ideas,...

Honest Barb, I got only as far as first few letters when all hell broke loose and that bar was like somthing not right lmaoooooooooo As fast as I took it back up to write, back down it went. I did like I said in off topic and run the Ensete full sytem scan and it was a Java two threats. I need to re...

I Remember hearing the name 'Quicksilver' that is in in your article Barb, Not many would asscociate Quicksilver with Mercury. It should not have been rolling freely on the floor at work either for my father to pick up. They don't mention in the article it turns to cancer years later, they say its n...

What can I say thats not been said already, So many success' Cameron. I love those Araucaria araucana: they are like little Christmas trees, (first shot.) :D And all those Trachicarpus seedlings...wow :!: :!: Thanks for showing us your magnificent, mind boggling stock, , and the germinating Images. ...

1962, 1987, Bad years for freeze in the UK. Today its 16C, time to think of taking cuttings etc,and not forgetting fleece..HAHAHA I hope to God its better than last year, no snow thanks....no ice. I like Wunderground for weather. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/hdfForecast?query=cana...

zomble

I thought mercury was dangerous, well it was fatal years later for my father,

Or is Mercury usually found in soil in negligible amounts?

zomble

Cameronn, I see you are in Canada. Although Trachicarpus f is hardy is it likey they will be hardy enough where you are. Thinking here of your winter. If you will protect them, how will you do that? I just bought one and want another from same supplier but holding back in case my town will be worse ...

zomble

I am going to have to do full comp scan, In my last message 'what grows in your garden' the bar inside the posting box suddenly run all down the post area by itself and caused a very long posting page, sorry! I was trying to cach the bar to stop it, hence the long page. For some days I have been hav...

zomble

Strange you should think we don't have many trees canadianplant, We seem to have a lot lol We have loads of trees that bear fruit and berries. The Rowan tree for example bears red berries all winter and spring. We have other trees on housing estates, and we have woodlands. We would'nt have had woodl...

zomble

And then one day the ugly duckling looks like this

I love that Image below the above text!

And is fleece fireproof? I looked at your Image with small lighting at your link. I have been advised to do similar this winter with my new Trachicarpus f but I was'nt sure about it.

Thanks!

zomble

Barb,

Have you tried Pravado for the Scales?

Also don't use tap water, catch rain in something.

Awesome Plants Jim!!

We could never grow them that big, and forget them fruiting.

zomble

Thanks guys!! I may have the Sunflower but you have what I have wanted since I made friends with Canadians at a forum, forum is now gone as are the friends. I love Hummers. I had some lols with friends about planting all red plants in my garden to attract Hummers. Course they won't come here...too c...

zomble

Awesome Images!

zomble

Reading about Bermuda grass Erik, someone has their work cut out, Can't you just kleep it short by mowing, your friend can't be expected to pull out such tough grass by hand. What about spading it up after mowing? Use a spray of strongish weedkiller but keep the horses away, well away. They are beau...

zomble

I will send him some lol

I better do 'next day delivery'.

zomble

Awe he is lovely,

I think if he eats Slugs, Snails, and Earwigs I may borrow him.

zomble

Do you have somewhere in your garden for the birds? I made a rough patch border. I don't like my garden, no wait..I hate this garden. It came with four aging Leylandi, brown with hole here and there, it also has plastic sheeting where it should be black weed fabric, then they should have laid nice d...

zomble

Hey Erik, Very cool shelters. At least they are not too open to the elements. You can plant pots for the summer, then take them out but they would be very dirty pot bottoms then..yuck! When I move I will plant the palms cus I heard they are safer in soil than pots, pots freeze so that makes sense. I...

zomble

I knew someone would

zomble

Beautiful scenery..fabulous!

Many thanks Aaron for sharing them with us.

I love flowers and those 'Indian Paintbrush' flowers really are awesome.

zomble

Sorry Erik, all in pots, Hoping to move to a new place in the very near future so no point in planting to dig up. I came close to bidding for a new home this week, right home just in the wrong place. Great to hear that Trachicarpus is discussed here, soon I will be lkooking to protect my palms Thank...

zomble

Oh for heaven's sake, I can't resist!

lol Barb...........

Soz Cameron, I can't take any, my garden is way too small...Good luck though!

zomble

Hi Everyone, I have a new flush but something finds the flush very tasty. When I felt at the fronds/leaves I was shocked to feel how soft. I thought they would be like my other one, stiff. What about slugs, Earwigs would they want to chew them? I had to cover with another pot overnight to deter. :( :(

zomble

Josef is an amazing person,

I wish mine looked like those Images.

zomble

I am not so new,

I have the love for palms. Trachicarpus f, more recently gifted a seedling of Manipur. I also have two Cycas revolutas, one just flushing....the other refuses to budge

Welcome to everyone.

zomble

I loooked a time or two Barb,

The second (cold storage) looks much greener.

No bugs has to be a good thing...I think.

zomble

Lovely Images John,

Good luck through the winter.

zomble

Beautiful Banana Cameron!!

zomble

mnpalms, thanks, I am over the excitement now :D All thats left is how to best protect it in a possible -13 like we had last year. I triple wrapped the whole plant on the Revoluta but the fronds came out yellow...not good...but Its flushing at the minute. Yes I will be keeping the Trachicarpus in th...

zomble

All bananas seem to hate cool temps

I agree, I believe the North of England with all the rain and winds are not condusive to great Ensete growth.

I will not buy anymore, rather grow Trachicarpus

zomble

F1aReD, Its your right for your health sake to open every window in high temps... I would be livid. Even if I had to take care or not, the guy is a no1 louse......and cruel. I know my landlord would probably complain about a humidifier What does he want, no windows open, no humid. Is he trying to su...

zomble

It seems to be give the palms more time, Yours may not flush for anything up to two years. Don't give up Terdal, I did that with my Trachicarpus f and should have waited. It pulled all the spears but was'nt soft orangy at all and I whizzed it. I then saw most advice is wait, next time I will. Good l...

zomble

See Erik,

I got one too only now it looks worse

It won't flush this year now but..........I have one that has flushed three new fronds, and its producing five pups.

How cool is that?

zomble

Amazing, and more amazing Josef, they look gorgious!!

They look so much nicer with the decrative stones.

Well done Josef!!

zomble
