Looking good. I like the T princeps.

If your cycad still has a firm caudex I would not throw it away immediately. It might come back and surprise you.

They grow outside in California. The ones that I have survived down to 23F and 25F but were damaged. High 20's does not seem to bother them if it is for a brief period. I would caution with planting them in normal soil as their roots are prone to rotting if kept too moist. They also will only bloom ...

Interesting pictures. I'm curious if you have visited these in person before or if you are just typing in random addresses searching for plants?

I did not even recognize the turnks on the Champerops at first in the last picture. It apears to have a few basal suckers sprouting at least.

I really like those Tree Ferns. It must have taken a long time for them to get that much trunk.

Jubaea

That's a lot of pots and seedlings. I have had Parajubaea seeds where the first one to germinate was after 15 months. These were even slower than Jubaea seeds which take 9-12 months. Some other seeds like Howea belmoreana took forever too but they were old seeds.

Barb,

I don't know why the Phoenix are leaning. The tops seem relativly healthy despite being nearly on their sides.

Yesterday was a nice day here and I was able to take some pictures of some palms on the UC Davis Campus at ~38degrees Northern Latitude in the Central Valley of CA. I will post the name of the palm that I think it is but am probably a bit off on a couple of them. I'll Start of with one of my ...

Someone from Sochi posted some pictures including a mature Jubaea on the IPS forums that they took in Sochi.

I should probabbly use a heating mat next time I start some seeds. I have just cleaned and planted seeds and hoped for the best which does not seem to go so well. I have had problems with seedlings getting infected with damping off right after germinating after waiting 15 months

The Sabals are looking good. It must be a decent area for them if they are reproducing. The other day I saw a P. canariensis in an area closed off for ecological study. The Washies on the other hand don't look so good. I wonder if they thought they might live?

Jubaea

Here are a few pictures of my largest one I have been growing from seed. Unfortuently I don't have a more recent picture of it as it now has 2-3 pinate leaves. All of my Jubaea seedlings took 25F, maybe lower fully exposed in full sun so I hope that they are ok. Dylan ~1.5 years old May 2010 <a href ...

Wow almost doubling in size after going completly brown. It's looking real nice now.

I know that Arbutus unedo is a tough plant here in California. It needs little water and can tolerate abusive pruning. Here they are usually low branching forming a large bush to small tree. The way it is pruned is not the normal way that they grow. They produce ediable fruit that tastes terrible ...

Jubaea

Those are some nice big healthy looking plants you have there. Caster Beans are quite tough and can survive on very little water although they are sparsely foliated and don't look that good. They are weedy here and survive on 10-20 inches of rainfall just fine.

All it takes is one bad year to make any of the maps irrelevent for long term culture of plants in borderline areas. I don't think the old data should be dismissed or else many people will be disappointed. What I think would be more usefull is the average frequency of different ultimate low ...

So many differnt taxes and no substitues available

. If these are excluding shiping than that will more than double the cost of the pots

. I wonder if Canadian Peat moss for potting soils is cheaper in Canada or in the US?

RoboCaesar those seeds look like they could be Archontophoenix or kings probabbly Archontophoenix cuninhamiana as these are planted everwhere in Southern Coastal California.

Barb, I had trouble finding tall pots untill I bought a few palms that came in pots with Stuewe's name on them. I got some of the TP414 for my 100+ sago palms I grew from seed and some other seedlings and young palms. I also got some TP616 for some of the larger palms. I have tried germinating seeds ...

Nice garden pictures there. Your Plumeria looks much better than mine. Your Musa zebriana also looks very happy with the inflorescence. Bananieru, it is normal for Plumerias to drop their leaves during winter, however there may be some species or varieties that are evergreen in tropical climates ...

Jubaea

The tall pots have been working out well for my seedling cycads and palms. They require less frequent irrigation for young plants as well as taking up much less space. I got some of the crates designed for their pots so that the seedlings are easy to store and don't tip over.

Jubaea

Barb here is the link to the site I got mine from. They have a wide variety of different size pots and accessories including pictures of them. http://www.stuewe.com/products/treepots.php

Thanks for sharing your process and the link. I have sucessfully polinated C. revoluta but have not had the opportunity to try on other species. Hopefully this will yield you some seedings in a couple of years if not sooner.

Dylan

You have a nice Jubaea there for its first year Barb already working on its second leaf. I think you can leave it in that size pot for 1-2 more years as it probabbly only has 1-2 roots so far. I have 3 year old Jubaeas in a 4inch wide by 14inc tall pot and they are still doing well.

Anybody ever give citrus an Epsom Salts "tonic"? (making soil more acidic?) Epsom Salts are a source of Magnesium and can be used correct or prevent a deficiency. Be carful as too much of a good thing can block the uptake of other nutrients. I believe too much Mg can block the uptake of Ca?

Jubaea

It appears that the older leaves are yellowing which would be normal. Citrus do likes soil that drains but like quite a bit of fertilzer with plenty of Nitrogen and all the trace including Magnesium. I have read that a 5-1-3 NPK is ideal for citrus. A palm fertilizer would probabbly work well.

I just spend some time lookin through and this very long topic. Thanks for posting all the information Cameron and all the others who contributed. I'm going to be trying some deliding on some Jubaea and Parajubaea seeds soon that have done nothing in the 7-10 months since I planted them. Some of my ...

Nice pics. In and Out has the same menu and prices out here but not the same palms. They use W. robusta. Hopefully they will make it. Enjoy you trip and keep us posted. I was really surprised by what I saw in Brookings, Or about 5 years ago including a 15 foot Avocado tree whos owner did not know ...

Jubaea

I'm gald it is recovering for you. You might as well remove all the dead leaves as they are not doing anything for the plant.

Jubaea

I would have never thought of growing Eucs that far north but here they are quite tough surviving drought, fire, and even mature trees being cut to the ground only to resprout. I don't think all species can be abused like this but maybe mulching them high or burrrying the lower part of the trunk ...

Oregon sounds really nice right now. I hope you can trasport all your plants safely from OK to OR. I think it is soposed to be 9b here in Davis, but last winter it got down to 24 on my thermometer under cover right next to the house, and some areas nearby experienced temps in the upper teens.

Now for a few plams. I did not take many up here as they would not do well except for the heat loving ones. Back to Front Left to Right. Butia, Dypsis decipiens, Bismarkia, and another D. decipiens. The D. decipens were soposed to be hardy but suffeded up to 50% foliage damage for a couple of nights ...

What a big differnce heat can make. Some of these plants have done what would normally be a years worth of growth in less than 3 months after moving them from a cool coastal climate to the central valley of California around 38.5 degrees North.

Nice Video. I'm surprised it let me watch it from out of the coutry as I have that problem many times. As for Citrus there is somone on the citrus forums citrus.forumup.org who has citrus planted in ground in Boston MA. He has some hardy mandarins I believe and some other varieties. Aparently he has ...

I'm surprised at how many palms and other tropical and desert plants you have there in containers. They are all looking really well coming out of winter.

Hey Vinny...Saw you on the bananas.org forum too. Your place is real nice. Love N'awlins....Love sagos too. I cut a hunk of offshoot last year on my large one. It is still alive but hasn't grown much...anyone know how long it takes for the "pups" to start to grow once they are cut from the mother ...

It's probabbly not a good idea to do much pruning now. I would only take off broken branchs if there are any. I think it would be best to let it establish its roots this year and start shaping it next year. It looks like it was pruned by a machine and cut at a certain level. I would try to keep it ...

This past winter was not too kind of the palms around here. My thermometer hit 24F and some more exposed areas diped into the upper teens. This is soposed to be a 9b hardiness zone. Here are some pictures of a Washy in a drainage ditch. It was completly browned in January as far as I could tell. I ...
