Thanks Barb. There are other palms I would like to try here but I am concerned about the wet winters we can have. This winter is unusually warm. It is now 8PM on December 23 and I have my windows open. Usually by now we have had an ice storm. I think I would trade you this palm tree climate for your...

No. I have read about these methods online. I have never personally tried these. I just stick them in a pot and have pretty good luck. But the seeds are very fresh and maybe that helps. The fruit that falls from my jelly palm gerinates in the mulch areound the tree with no effort on my part, but see...

Erik, The Sabal Minor seeds will germinate easy. I know there are many methods for seed germination. I have pulled seeds from various Sabal Minors around here and just stuck them in house plant pots within the house that already contains a plant and the seeds would germinate. I believe you will find...

Thank you all. The larger Trachy actually only receives morning sun. The ones I have seen here that are planted in full sun don't look as robust as the ones I have seen planted with evening shade. My house faces east so it receives some evening shade during a few of the summer months. I have also fo...

Bill, I don't know much about these. However I had just planted one about a month ago to try to hide the view to my lazy neighbor's back yard. I still have the information tag that came with the tree. Here is what it says: Live Oak - Roble Vivo Grown by: TRI-B Hulbert OK. I know these are everywhere...

Yes it is easy to find palms around here, Often this time of year stores like Lowes & Hoe Depot wants to get rid of their remaining palms and cut the price a lot. There is a huge palm store down in Dallas across from the Farmers Market. I am located close to Ft Worth if you are interested in a c...

Hello and welcome, I am new myself here and just learning my way around. I am little south of you in North Texas. I have found that eventually we will have a winter here that will kill the robusta while the filifera seems to go unphased. I tried a Jubaea here and the winters didn't phase it but it j...

Here are a few others. I don't know if it shows in one of the photos but I have a Sabal Minor with a wire cage around it. This Sabal Minor is of the variety Tamaulipas. I planted two of these along with several other varities all in the sae day. Rabbits ate both of these Tamaulipas Sabal Minors to t...

Check out the photo with the Pindo beat down with snow. I tried a couple of Pindos. I protected them both the first three winters. One died and the other was not phased. I don't know if I believe the cold ratings some web sites give this palm though. There are others much more cold hardy in my opini...

Not sure if this is going work but giving it a try. These photos show most of my Palms. The windmill palm in my front yard was a half dead tiny palm I paid 3 dollars for on clearance at walmart. The first couple of years it grew a little and then just took off. My Pindo palm some years is loaded wit...

Thanks for the welcome. I will post some photos of my palms. I have to read about that, I assume I post them elsewhere and then link to them. I will learn how and then post.

Desert Zone: I will follow up with you on the seedlings. I would be happy to send you some as well as a bunch of seeds.

I ran across this board while browsing for information on cold hardy palms. I became interested in palms about 6 years ago, and after some experimenting with a few varities I now have a few palms in my yard doing well. Our summers can exceed 105 degrees F while our winters can hit the low teens for ...
