bananieru

looks like it's a boy

.

The rostrata was a beauty and I have only myself to blame for killing it. Had no problems protected from snow with no heat added. As soon as the snow and the rain touched her, this is what happen.

bananieru

dying rostrata. All the top is mushy:

bananieru

is it now to know if it's a boy or a girl, or still too early?

bananieru

It's such a pleasure to see your pictures always. I love the agaves.

Yucca rostrata is dying. Crown rot I think it's called, it's similar with spare pull, the leaves are rotten. Is it anything that I can do? It looked so good when I opened it up after winter. It got one snow on it though, and I did'n blow it off.

No more room for veggies so I had to go up. Not sure if the pond will supply enough nutrients, but it can be converted easy from aquaponics to hydroponics.

thanks, my understanding of young was wrong

Washingtonia filifera...The petioles (leaf stems) of mature palms are armed along the margins with curved thorns; those of young palms are largely unarmed.

bananieru

usually if they have thorns are robusta

bananieru

first time flowers on the trachy: is it a male or a female?

bananieru

sometimes it's needed

bananieru

Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Igor, I thought we have crazy weather in Canada, but on your sticker tomorrow max 21C and min -6C?

bananieru

If you go to Montreal contact Mike and Beny, they post here often.

I don't think they can survive without heat added in your area (even though it's warmer than Toronto).

Finally no more freezing in forecast for the next 14 days. I hope that that's it: spring time from now on

this morning:

bananieru

washy back in the box, tomorrow night there will be -8C (17.6F)

bananieru

If the trunk is soft, search in this forum for cutting the trunk. Once you cut it you have to get rid of all the black stuff. I saved one this way. (it's true that it was still green, just the center spear pulled)

bananieru

Mine is very close in size with yours, second winter in the ground. It's also planted very close to a fence. At least I know that's easier to get a new one than move the existing one. Once it outgrows the 8' box, yes, it's a candidate for the wrapping method. So Beny, two more years to fine tune the...

bananieru

I always have to remind myself that in Los Angeles grow Mexican fan palms, not California fan palms, and that Washingtonia robusta is not as robust as Washingtonia filifera

Based on the thorns yes, it looks like yours is a Mexican fan palm.

How deep was actually 1/2 way to china?

Tavi

bananieru

very nice. Those magnolias will be great. I tried to plant one but was too small, just a twig. It's still alive, but half of the trunk is dry.

Tavi

bananieru

How do you protect the roots with this method? can we have a picture? I thought that even a 2x2 is a little too small for the roots. I remember wxman was concerned few years ago that the palms are not doing that good when the root system goes outside the box.

Tavi

bananieru

that's a lot of roots. How long were they in the pot?

very nice day in southern Ontario, 12C full sun, so finally the big hut came down: http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/bananieru/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140406_102753_zpsobgllf5f.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/bananieru/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140406_103523_zps2ytejzrd.jpg http://i958...

bananieru

this was actually quite a small palm, not more than 30-40 cm tall, but it had a trunk. This is how it looks now 2 years later. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/bananieru/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20140330_132425_zpsnoymjrp8.jpg It did not grow too much, but it's healthy and very green after a long...

I was impressed with my little wagnerianus: all green. I'll protect it from rain while it's still below freezing during the night (one or two more weeks) as last year I had to cut it's trunk because of spear pool.

:-) this was the palm that got me into this. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/bananieru/Default/20090914_13146.jpg This is my first post (I had to update the links, as photobucket changed them) http://palmsnorth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19318#19318 Who knew that I'll have to build palm huts ...

It looks like you had a worst winter then us in gta. The Rhododendron brachycarpum looks really good. Do you think your magnolias going to survive?

bananieru

The weather is colder than announced (sounds familiar?) but I was still able to open some boxes. First I brought out of the garage the agave. It's been there since fall with absolutely no water. Usually the temperature doesn't go below freezing, but this year it did at least a few times: http://i958...

beautiful, thank you for sharing with us

The forecast finally shows some good weather (compared with what we had so far). Sunday the trachy hut comes down for me too. I can't wait.

bananieru

Looks good. I can't wait, but I have to resist the urge

.We have another -12C night in the forecast for next week.

bananieru

The local people were complaining about the worst winter they remember, but we had a very good week. Lots of sun and quite warm for more than half of the stay. I've seen a lot of sabal palmetto and sabal minors that looked ok. A few washingtonias that were all fried and very few trachys that had no ...

bananieru

We had 26C in Myrtle Beach (not all the time). Came back to -25C

After I saw my hydro bill I truly believe that I'm the reason the temperature in Ontario did not go even lower. I think I heated all the sw Ontario.
