Thanks coltrane, after looking it up on the net, it appears that you are right. What a mis-label. I'm not putting these in the ground, they're going to stay inside over the winter in front of my sunniest windows and I'll pray for the best. I really think it's too late to plant them, especially the ...

I just returned from what seems like my weekly trip to Lowe's (I'm remodeling) and I couldn't resist on adding these to my collection. They were each $6.75. The 2 trachys look different, even though the tags on both say trachycarpus fortunei. Maybe someone can tell if the second one is mislabeled ...

Barb, Thanks for the advice, I have the perfect shaded spot next spring where I'll plant it. I have 2 small dwarf cavendish bananas there that I don't have any pics of yet and they look beautiful compared to the ones I posted the pics of. They're just smaller because of the lack of sunlight but at ...

Here's that closeup picture http://i943.photobucket.com/albums/ad272/MarcWeaver/DSCN1180.jpg I'm going to put this in the ground next year. After it flushes again, I'm probably going to cut off these horrendous leaves. I think a lack of proper care was to blame for this. It flushed in the house and ...

Hi All- Thought I'd post some newer pictures of the palms you helped me out with a few weeks ago. I took everyone's advice and started watering much more and it seems to have worked very well. All the palms still look a little sad but the new growth on all of them is green and healthy looking. I am ...

The individual leaves on the cycad definitely have spines on them, I'll get some closeups when I get home. I had to use thick gloves to transplant it into this pot.

I water everything every other day. I was unable to water regularly for a week or so, but we did finally get some rain during that period. I used to water the bananas much more, but the new leaves were emerging black so I cut back a little bit. It was very hot here for the last 2 months and getting ...

Hopefully this works to get the pictures in the post without links... I'm trying one

I think the tag on this one said Mediterranean Fan Palm but I'm not sure of this one http://s2.postimage.org/ufrBS.jpg I think this one said Windmill Palm http://s2.postimage.org/ufE4A.jpg A picture of both with 2 Super Dwarf Cavendish Plants. The tag on the pot said Dwarf Cavendish 8-10', but I ...

Hey everyone, thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to protect them well this winter and I'll leave them in the ground. Bill - actually the ground here enters somewhat of a permanent freeze in January and February, but I don't think it's that deep. The blizzards we had here last winter dumped about ...

I bought 6 small palms and planted them in the ground in early June. There are 4 needle palms, 1 Mediterranean fan palm, and 1 palm I can't remember the type of (maybe windmill palm.) Foolishly, I planted them all directly in heavy clay soil before I learned about the dangers of freezing in the ...
