Somes states do require phytos. I remember the shipping on a bismarkia from jungle music cost more than the palm. The phyto was 35$. Ebay sellers get around it by shipping bare root. I doubt I would ever buy a large palm like those and plant so far out of zone. I would have to many concerns about it...

Looks kinda cold over there Jim. Luckily I have only seen a dusting of snow and the one small ice storm. That sequoia is loving these milder winters. I figured you would have some hardier palms out, testing their limits.

Barb, I got what I wanted from HD. Never found a date palm. Bought some nice stuff from a small nursery however

Sashaeffer, the only thing I might regret is not buying that serenoa repens silver. But I can always pick it up in a few months. I have to be careful sIhipping home without a phyto.

Leaving tomorrow, if its there I will post a pic. Dont laugh, you know Tony sells very small plants. Just picked up a dioon edule and a sabal texana.

Barb, its definitely worth a shot. I have tried to order things on line and it tell me its not available at my store. But that might work. Wish lowes had their palms already. They always have a better selection.

This was at Myrtle beach. I have family here, if only they visited more often.... You know since I dont have any washys 2 of those 12$ ones are coming home. Theres another place selling sabals for 65$. They are in 7 gallon pots with 2 or 3 trunks. But I am holding off, because I want a date palm. It...

Unfortunatly HD at home doesnt carry as many palms for such a price. http://s7.postimage.org/py9qgzzhj/2013_03_01_09_17_27.jpg http://s23.postimage.org/jf33mdi53/2013_03_01_09_16_11.jpg http://s8.postimage.org/jxq05b8nl/2013_03_01_09_15_38.jpg http://s21.postimage.org/8pqbwv477/2013_03_01_09_14_16.j...

Man, Hooters gets all the cold hardy palms......

My building is busting with plants and bringing them in aint gonna happen.

Nice variety of plants. Hate to see your brazoira had such a rough time. And that cactus bed looks like hell on earth for any succulent.

Nice sized trachy, will out grow that damage quickly enough. With a winter like yours I would be shocked if I didnt have damage.

Very nice haul, I really like the dasy. Those are becoming one of my new favorites. Hope your Takil is true! My should be waiting for me when I return home.

Not sure whats going on this winter. My futurecast will look good for a month and then all of a sudden we are getting freezing rain. WTH
Guess I will be recovering all the palms till I get back in march. We all know the weather ppl aint gotta clue!

Nice looking palm. Youve done a good job over wintering it. Last year I had two first years pull even with protection.

Nice job on the enclosure. That palm is looking great. Cant wait to see everything else.

Thanks Barb and Marceli, Everyone seems pretty laid back here. I dont see any attitudes or superiority complexes. So thats really good. Just wanna grow and kill what I can till I learn enough to get it right

Thanks Henoh!

Jim, maybe try decaf.....

Thanks guy, glad to be here on this forum. Jim I have purchased 20 new agaves this winter. Them things gonna be planted everywhere. Plus I am doubling my rock garden again. Its gonna be about 30 x40. Ninja my sabal palms were purchased as a blue pots from lowes. They were tagged as minors. But after...

Thanks guys/ girls :D Adam Im pretty sure those are teacups. I know there are two different variations but they didnt come marked. Mike I really want some mature palms before I start playing with more tropical palms. Plus I still need have a lot to learn. Then take in account that I am afraid of hei...

Thanks Barb, I really like the pvc. Speacially since I dont use heat. Plus they go together in mins. unlike the wooden ones I used in the past. Glenn, I hate I didnt post any summer pics for you guys. Since your suffering from cabin fever, I'll throw in a pic from last yr. http://s3.postimage.org/lj...

Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself since I am new to this forum. I have only been gardening since 2007 when I purchased my house. And quickly became a hoarder of palms and agaves. Here are a few pics of my palms today. http://s17.postimage.org/xdk70e5yz/2013_02_18_16_38_39.jpg http://s17.p...

Your palms are really starting to grow now. Good job overwinter them.

Looking good, once they get started you will forget about winter.

I got a C Cooperi, was all they had. I want the dwarf one its much more hardy. If all else I can get my neighbor to get. My T. Takil should be arriving soon also.

Igor, those are nandina heavenly bamboo. Great evergreen for me here. With lots of color.

Thanks ninja, that agave is just a baby. One of 80 in the yard or building.

Thanks Lucky1, all the palms look good. Our temps have been up and down. This morning was our low for the yr. at 17F.

I uncovered everthing last weekend then another cold front hit us. We've had freezing rain. All palms are uncovered for good at this point. If they cant handle 23F then they are not from hardy stock. http://s8.postimage.org/eqxcq78sh/2013_01_25_15_35_27.jpg Getting ready for a Honeymoon! So I'll pos...

Your cacti look great. I think next year I'll use large tents to cover my cacti. After a quick look everything is gonna make it. But some damage where agaves touched the protection. Love thoughs purple cacti, do you have an id for them?

All your palms look great. Any spears pull?

Hate that about your washys. Hope they hang in there and can make a full recovery.
