Arctic Palm

Here is the trunk. I put a battery there for comparison...ok maybe not 6" but thick!!!

Arctic Palm

Hey everyone, I am having no success in locating some good size cold hardys. I have tried Botanix, Valleyview gardens, Tropics.ca, and some others here in Canada. I would like to exhaust all possible avenues before having to drive to the South (however I would love to go on a trip to the south). Doe...

Arctic Palm

I called Wal-Mart here. They said they have a large order coming in this weekend. It was supposed to be there today. They didn't know what was on it, just that it was tropical. They tags only ever say "tropical plant" so you need to know what you are looking for. (last year I did not.) And...

Arctic Palm

You know I am kicking myself in the butt. Last year around this time, before I was tropical savvy wal-mart had a big shipment of different types of palms. I saw Chinese fan palms, a few different Phoenix types, pineapple, what I believe was jelly palms and others but not knowing I just figured they ...

Arctic Palm

Is that a pindo I see?

Arctic Palm

A 10 foot greenhouse would be so nice! I have no greenhouse. I am going to attempt to make one this fall. That should be interesting!
Do you have pics of your greenhouse?

Arctic Palm

Any idea how long it takes them to trunk? I have never seen any trunking other than on the net. I have been all over the tropics and can't say I have seen that!

Arctic Palm

I know a lot of people hate the majesty. I kinda understand them but at the same time if you know how to take car of them and what they need they are a very fast growing and beautiful palm. I would like to find one with a true trunk!
Talk to you later

Arctic Palm

Wes North Van,

I cut the 2 lower older leafs off already. They were kinda browning. I won't cut anymore.
Thanks

Arctic Palm

Thanks Kansas!!!

Arctic Palm

We get them here too but i have never had any luck with them...but i keep buying them cause they are cheap. I have one right now that is 7 feet and so far so good!!

Arctic Palm

Hello Dave and welcome!!!!!!!!!

Arctic Palm

I looked....no luck!

Arctic Palm

Now thats a welcome mat!!!

I see you have several Majestys. How do you find them?

Arctic Palm

Knnn,

What is a understory plant?

Also, a quick question, I planted my T. FOrtunei yesterday. Tonight (currently) it is 6c. It is supposed to rain...a lot...tomorrow. I went out and wrapped christmas lights around the base and middle shoots. DO you think I overreacted?

Arctic Palm

dlnoga, I am pretty new to this as well. The advice I got from the members here was very helpful. I was advised to plant in a raised bed to help with soil drainage. Palms really don't like sitting in any water however some like lots of water. I have a T. Fortunei I just planted in my from yard. Sout...

Arctic Palm

Okanagan desert-palms,

I emailed them from 2 different emails. I will call as well. Maybe they don't like Canadians...hahaha. I can't see that being to difficult to make

Arctic Palm

PhilMusa,

As soon as I hear back from this place I will be posting on here to let everyone know. Who knows, maybe if enough people are interested we can get some kinda bulk discount. Wishful thinking!!

Arctic Palm

Knnn,

Do they still need to be kept really warm once they germinate? Reason I ask is because once I remove them from their little greenhouse I have no way to keep them really warm. I am using Christmas light under the containers now and it seems to be working well.
Any ideas?

Arctic Palm

I will look for that next time I am out. Do you think it will hurt the seeds if I replant them?

Arctic Palm

Barrie,

Star Trek all winter!!! I am going to look futher into it. I think if it works that would be great for all of us who want Palms and tropicals up here.

Arctic Palm

Alchris,

I have emailed them. I will see what they say. Even if they will protect a T. Fortunei for our winter thats would be worth it.

Arctic Palm

Knnn,

Any idea what that is? Do you think my soil to to moist?

Arctic Palm

Hey all,

Not sure where I got this web site (maybe it was here...lol) anyway its all about palm tree heaters. It's really neat so let me know what you all think of it ok.

Have a warm day

Arctic Palm

Hey everyone, I have a questionfor those who have sprouted seedlings before. I have several (Veitchia merrilli) seeds that I have had incubating for a couple of months now. I opened the little greenhouse top they are in to check on them and I found some funny looking white-ish crystal fuzz on some o...

Arctic Palm

are there really palms in alaska?? any pics??

Arctic Palm

zhanghuile,

Show off!!!.....kidding, those are nice..really nice. Are they all yours?

Arctic Palm

Cali-wanna-b,

Thanks!!!

I called but got an answering machine, it's almost 9pm here so I assume they are closed. Virginia is about 10 hours from here. That's not bad at all.
The larger ones are exactly what I am looking for, this is a major help.

Thanks again.

Arctic Palm

The money is not a issue. It's getting them. If I were to try and get a 6-8 foot T. Fortunei across the border I would just tell them I have a large home (or something). There are several businesses and bars around here with huge palms they put outside in summer for the patios and stuff. I am talkin...

Arctic Palm

No kidding....I paid $160 for my trachy here in St. kItts. I want to get one with about a 6-8 foot trunk. I guess people around here have just been growing them long enough to have any that big. I am very very tempted to take a raod trip down to the Carlolinas. My wife would kill me, :shock: ....tha...

Arctic Palm

We don't have Lowes here. Home Depot and Wal-mart we have but the palms there are not the good ones.
I look all the time

Arctic Palm

Is that a Washingtonia or a T. Fortunei? It looks really good. I am off to buy a larger one this week....no one has Washingtonia around here. All fortunei.

Arctic Palm

Knnn,

Great, thanks very much. I was just going to do a road trip to the Carolinas or something. This will help.

Arctic Palm

Hey everyone, I live in Southern Ontario. Kinda near Buffalo. Anyway, I was wondering of anyone could tell me a good place to find some large T. Fortunei or Washingtonia or similar (6 foot trunks or better) south of the border. Also, does anyone at all know what kinda complications there are to brin...

Arctic Palm

Knnn,

Hello, I was wondering if I should remove some of the lower fronds on my T. Fortunei? I will send you a pic and tell me what you think please.

Arctic Palm

lucky1, I decided to post before I went to work. The one pic is of the Musa Basjoo's and the T. Fortunie's I bought off corollatropicals and the other is my big Trachy waititng to be planted. (still think I am going to give a few day out in it's pot first) http://upload8.postimage.org/42299/Trachyap...

Arctic Palm

Well today ended up being 100% sunshine not a cloud in the sky. Temp got to about 17 with very little wind. I had all my children outside!! I think the majesty's liked it. I have taken some pics and I will post them when I get back from work. Also, just got another Musa Basjoo and some more T. Fortu...

Arctic Palm

dave,
Me again, does that have several trunks? Or does it grow with a single trunk? I see those at Wal-Mart all the time up here but I never knew what they were.

Arctic Palm

dave,

Ok, I'm jealous!! I am still waiting for my Christmas palms to sprout. I looked at some and they have very tiny tap roots starting. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. Yours look great
