Excellent pics of Plantasia Cactus Gardens!

Looks like paradise to me. I actually drove through Twin Falls a couple of years ago on my way to Las Vegas.

Does Twin Falls has the same climate as you? I'll have to check that place out next time i'm in the area.

I like all yuccas and would love to grow all of em but I think i would have to say my favorite is Elata. Anyone growing Yucca whipplei? I have read they are hardy to a dry zone 6? This is one yucca i would love to grow. If anyone has any pics to show that would be great. :D Anyone else have any favo...

Ya it's been so mild i planted one of my trachys already. Hope it wasn't too soon. :? We haven't had any bad freezes lately and it's only suppose to be around freezing this weekend. Probably only for a few hours during the nite. If it does get cold maybe i'll just throw a blanket around it for the n...

I noticed mine is starting to grow a little now so hopefully it will grow a little pineapple this summer.

That's awesome

You must be enjoying the same mild weather we are having.

I guess we will have to wait a few years. Keep us posted if you find any that are a decent size.

Hi Jim,

I have seen some pineapple plants for sale that are smaller than the one i have grown that had little pineapples starting to grow. I wonder if there is a trick to get them started? Just have to wait and see i guess.

Hey Wes,

Trachcarpus Nanus looks like an awesome palm.

Have you seen any decent size ones for sale on the lower mainland?

Regards,
Jay

Is anyone growing Musa Sumatrana Banana? I just picked a five footer up and was wondering how big they get etc.

Jay

Welcome to the forum Kyle.

What kind of palms and subtropicals are you growing? I think on the lower mainland around mid March you should be safe? Maybe someone else from Van would know.

Regards,
Jay

Thanks Aaron.

I thought you would like all the new smileys.

So far i have seed and seedling for ranks. I was thinking of maybe trunking palm for the next rank.

Regards,
Jay

15 acres of yuccas etc. would be awesome.

I added a ton of new smilies to the forum.

Regards,
Jay

That's great.

There are so many yuccas i want to try. I will try to add some more smileys this weekend.

Jay

Nice pics Aaron! Your joshua trees look great.

Thanks for sharing. Have you grown any y. shidigera? Here's a link that has a pic and info below:

I am thinking of getting one this spring.

Regards,
Jay

I am planning on getting a few 1 gallon size y. elatas this spring and i wonder if i should cover them next winter if we get a bad cold spell? Maybe they will grow some decent roots by winter time.

Regards,
Jay

That's too bad.

Hopefully they will come back for you. How big were they when you planted them? Those rostratas that you gave me are germinating like mad.

Thanks again.

Jay

Has anyone tried to grow a pineapple plant from the top of a pineapple? I have one about a year old and was wondering when they start to grow a pineapple.

Regards,
Jay

I'm guessing it might be this site?

Hi guys,

I noticed my cycas revoluta pushed out new fronds at the end of summer. I didn't really fertilize it much. Maybe i'll try to fertilize it more this year.

Regards,
Jay

I'm not really sure what type of yucca it is? Someone suggested it might be a yucca glauca but looking at the leaves they look to wide to be a glauca.

I was tempted today to start work on my new cacti bed with all this mild weather we are having.

Regards,
Jay

Does anyone have any pics of S. Minor that they are growing? It would be great to see some large ones.

Regards,
Jay

email sent.

Hi Estiva,

I have some fortunei x wagnerianus seeds left if you would like some? Let me know.

Regards,
Jay

Here's a couple trunking yuccas pics i took today around town. :D http://palmsnorth.com/pics/yuccas/kel/kel_yucca1.jpg ----------------------------------------------------- http://palmsnorth.com/pics/yuccas/kelowna/kel_yucca2.jpg ----------------------------------------------------- http://palmsnort...

Here are a couple of pics Jim sent below. The first one is his Yucca Gloriosa and the second one is his Rostrata. If you ask me i think they are both awesome! :D http://palmsnorth.com/pics/yuccas/OceanCityYucca.jpg ------------------------------------------------------- http://palmsnorth.com/pics/yu...

Hello,

Musa Balbisiana sounds good. Try to login now it should be fixed.

Regards,
Jay

I would be interested in some S.mexicana but i only have some fortunei x wagnerianus seeds to trade.

Regards,
Jay

A little warmer but it's been above normal for this time of year. I think we have about the same temps.

How far are you from Boise?

Regards,
Jay

Welcome to the forum Green99.

Thanks for the info.

I did find that out. I got a few Musa Basjoo plants last summer. I also have some M.sikkimensis seeds germinating right now. Haven't heard about M.balbisiana i will have to check it out.

Regards,
Jay

Hi Jim,

Do you have the picture hosted somewhere? If you do you can just copy these tags

and place your picture url in between them. If it's not hosted you can send it to me via email and i will place it on my server and insert it into your post for you.

Regards,
Jay

Hi Jim,

That's great. I have never even thought of yucca gloriosa. I will have to give that one a try also. Some pictures would be awesome.

Regards,
Jay

I think we have had it for the cold. Temps should be above freezing now. Maybe the odd night it might drop. Now that i said this we will probably have another cold snap with blizzard conditions. LOL

Let me know how your plants do.

Regards,
Jay

What type of weather station would anyone suggest getting? I have heard of Oregon Scientific? I only need one with one or two temperature sensors for now. Any suggestions would be great.

Regards,
Jay

Hey Aaron,

What has been your lowest temp so far? I have hit -19 C (-2.2 f) during our cold snap. It's warmer now with overnight lows above freezing.

Regards,
Jay

Thanks Aaron. I'll take a good look at it.

Regards,
Jay

He He that's (faken u out is) funny.

Nice Washy though.

Jay

Does anyone know what kind of cactus this is?

I picked it up at a grocery store unlabelled. It looks like it's from the Escobaria sp. but i'm not sure?

Regards,
Jay

I'll definetly have to get some this spring.

After looking at pictures on the net i'm pretty sure that's what i see around town here. So i know they should be hardy here.

Regards,
Jay

Has anyone grown Yucca recurvifolia? I heard that this yucca only has a life span of 5-20 years. Looks like an interesting yucca. I was thinking of getting a couple 1 gallon size ones this spring.

Regards,
Jay

Your welcome Wes. Let me know how they turn out. I would be interested in some meyer lemon seeds.

Regards,
Jay
