They can reach a large size, I have seen one that was about 15-20 feet tall in Arizona :shock: I have two of them in my yard, but I protect them with plexiglass cases or what ever I can find that will work :wink: They have a lot better chance of making it through a winter if they are larger. I think...

That plant is about 7 years old

, but they usually grow faster then that

They pick up speed with age!
Cost here is around $7-7.50 range, or $5.00 if you pick them up from my place

And if I have them in stock

The above recurvifolia only had about 4-5 leaves when it went into its first winter, and had no protection. It has done just fine

DesertZone

Cool, I will wait and see

Hi Barrie

I know this is an old thread, but if you are still reading this forum could you post a few more pics of your yard? Looks like you have some very cool plants

I would love to see more

DesertZone

Hi,
Is any one else out there growing this flower? I would like to hear about it

DesertZone

Love the pics

How well does your oleanders do? I want to try some one day!

DesertZone

Sorry, I better give more info.
It died before I got to see what it would do. I was so happy to have it, but then it all of a sudden died before winter? I think it did not like the trance plant or something

I hope to try again one day

DesertZone

I have had one of his palms, but it died

Hi Jay!
Site was not up when I was there

DesertZone

Hi desert palms, I joined this site for the fact that if you can grow the cold hardy palms, yuccas, cacti, in zone 5b. I think I have hope to grow them here solid 6 to 6a in the Okanagan . I think if you show and talk more of your triumphs over arctic blasts which we know will hit every year. Trail...

DesertZone

One day we will raise a big agave that will survive below 0 temps

And I think I may have found the one

Only time will tell

DesertZone

That is very cool

One day I would like to try it

I bet you will see more people doing that same thing.

DesertZone

Thanx for the info ,as I`m in zone 6 to 6a I will probably have to use some protection for our arctic blasts during Jan and part Feb. I would like to know how well the heating cables protect the all important crown spear from freezing? Does your freind use any other protection besides the cables? R...

Hi and welcome

Always glad to see new people :newb:

DesertZone

Welcome to the forum Flamingo. :D I would try to wrap the trachy up with burlap or something before you have a cold snap. Also a plastic enclosure would ensure some good protection for the first couple of winters until it the palm becomes more established. Hope this helps. :D Regards, Jay I agree w...

That is a very nice trachy you have Wes

I could only wish for something that nice

DesertZone

I wish they would take that to my house

Most of my yuccas are doing good

my trunking filamentosa has not done much of anything this year, but I will keep playing around with it. But some have done very well, like my joshua trees.
I will get some new pics up later this summer or sooner I hope
