Hope the quality is ok.

Adam, Thanks for the hints. You're definitely in a better climate zone than I am but it give me an idea at least. I am going to start the back yard shut down tomorrow. I put an order in for some temp. probes for all my boxes. I am using DS18B20 probes controlled by a Raspberry Pi. (If someone is gee...

Barb,

Want me to act as a broker for the shipment?

teebee

Barb,

I had 11 3 gal Agaves and a 2.5 foot Yucca Rostrata shipped across the boarder as long as there is no dirt there seems to be no problem.

I just got home from Mexico A few days ago its was very sunny and warm I was about 20.5 degree N of the equator. The hotel has been going a bit palm crazy as well the last couple years which suits me just fine. Hope you enjoy the pics. These look like Trachy's but the fan does a full 360 there is no...

So it's that time of year and I need to start coming up with my protection for my plants. 3 Windmill Palms (3.5 feet, 5.5 feet, 9 feet tall) 1 European Fan Palm (3.5 feet) 6 Agave Americana (2 feet) 5 Agave Parri (.5 feet) 1 Yucca Rostrata (2.5 feet) 3 Musa Basjoo (leaving them as tall as I can) So ...

Hasty,

I would love 1 or 2. I'd feel much better if we traded I just got back from Mexico last night let me see what would ship well that's in the basement and PM you a list.

teebee

I would love to go. However, I'll be in Mexico filling my suitcase with seeds to bring home. ;) If anyone needs any Xmas palms seed's the place I'm going has no shortage of them I got tons last year at this time they will be very ripe. I also was able to find what I believe was Washingtonia seeds. I...

Adam, If you decide you want to divide your chamaerops humilis. I just recently did mine I started to have a good size trunk growing at 45 degrees hiding my other trunk so I went in dug up the plant and divided using a sawzall and now have 2 good sized plants. Neither looks worse for wear. I figured...

Much cleaner after..

I was at Rice Road probably a month back and they were only 25% off of cold hardy stuff they really mean business now. ;) Makes me wish I had waited for my Bismarck I had gotten earlier in the year was about 1/2 that size and the same price. Such a slow grower I'm still waiting for its first new spe...

No idea what tfhobby is so I guess not. The agave came bare root from Joes cactus mart on ebay. He's from California but he ships internationally but doesn't guarantee arrival because doesn't do the paperwork. But I got 11 agave from him no issue. Looking at a yucca rostrata right now.

I planted it yesterday. I decided to give the front yard the tropical treatment as well. I'll post some pics shortly. I have a new video of the backyard to go up on youtube shortly as well. My agave has taken off quite well I certainly hope I can make it through the winter.

teebee

I was out looking for a trunking yucca at local nurseries and came across a new 5.5 for tall trachy today marked down from 150 to 60 bucks. Super good deal I couldn't pass up. Not sure where I'm putting it yet but that's a minor detail.

teebee

Bamboo for me has been really tough to germinate from seed. I have successfully gotten a phyllostachys kwangsiensis to take off its still under a foot tall I planted back about new years. But its putting up some more culms and looking better all the time. Apparently its touch as nails but I think I'...

I bring in seeds from all over the world all the time and have never had a shipment ceased by customs. I wouldn't let the border scare you out of helping a Canadian.

teebee

The 9ish foot Windmill Palm was either $1100 or $1200 (significantly more expensive than getting one in from Mike)

How large are your boxes? Originally I made mine 4x4 and there is no problem with them. But this creates a problem with storing them in the winter. I was down at the home improvement store a couple days ago thinking the same thing. I am leaning to 4x4 as well. I was looking at making mine disassemb...

got myself a 3 gal. Bismark teebee, ooooh, gotta see a photo of that one. Barb Barb, I have to transplant it today its SUPER root bound. and I was totally off in my sizing it was actually a 7 gallon Bismark. I'm putting it in probably 15-20 gallon pot and burying the pot so I can bring it in in the...

I got out to Rice Road today. Lots of nice stuff. Their Bamboo selection wasn't much to write home about and VERY pricey. I got a 1 Gal Musa Basjoo and a 3 Gal Windmill for my inlaws retirement present. I got myself a 3 gal. Bismark. My wife saw the snake they have there and wasn't impressed. But de...

Very nice. After I got mine from Mike I'm now scouting locations for next years order ;) I have been the talk of the neighbourhood this year thats for sure. (4.5' retaining wall back filled my back yard new walkway and stairs and then the palm tree) Looks like you have a perfect back drop the trees ...

Beautiful palm. Mike is changing the Eastern Canada landscape. Did it come with instructions? No but he was great answering any and all questions I had before, during, and after my purchase. Even to the point of asking about soil type, drainage, where it was going and suggesting alternate loactions...

I purchased a 8' Windmill from Mike @ Monteal Palms and was very excited to receive this today. http://s24.postimg.org/5ot31wrlx/IMG_00000101.jpg The truck driver laughed he hadn't ever delivered anything like this before. Luckily my landscaper was still here it took 3 of us and wheel barrow to get ...

Hmmm I think I'm going to have to hit this place up in a couple of weeks. My back yard reno is nearly complete. I need to get some plants. I have most of what I want but It looks like this place will have the rest. I would love to get a nice size Bismarkia I know it can't over winter it outside but ...

I guess my palm will be here soon. Look forward to hearing from you Mike.

Not sure about striping but look like a bunch of red blood spatter on the leaves. I looked online at Dwarf Candish is looks pretty similar to that so I think you're right.

I got this at my local Rona (Think Home Depot or Lowes) yesterday. The pot is only labelled "Musa" The had more there as well. Just not qualified to say what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

I found this its sort of interesting. http://www.thepondoutlet.com/home/tpo/page_2828_286/thermoplanter.html Its too bad the dont build various sizes of this take a 20 gallon pot and bury it. Perhaps I build something similar on my own a sheet of copper and and attach heat cable to that and bury it ...

teebee

Hmmm perhaps I stlll get it and leave it as a deck plant. I my over wintering spot would keep it quite happy. 2x600w MH Lamps running on a 14/10 schedule.

teebee

Has anyone tried yet? I dont mind boxing the palm with lights and such to keep it happy just not sure it will survive. I found a 5 gallon Bismarkia at the local nursery yesterday. I would prefer to have it planted outside and just boxing it over winter but for the price of it I don't really want to ...

Mildan, I'm getting an order from Mike. I'm in Waterloo. If you want to tag your palm along I'm fine what ever the extra cost is plus a 6 pack of my favourite beer. I'm getting a couple Musa Basjoos and a large Windmill Palm (7-8ish feet). Let me know if your interested. This offer is extended anyon...

canadianplant,

Where are you located? Perhaps if you're localish perhaps I could come by and grab one?

Agreed. I was about to pitch out some of my Bamboo palm seeds when I noticed one finally sprouted. Took over 2 months.

teebee

"Too Many" is a great idea. IMO, if we are willing to ship Canada-wide, it evens out with the stuff we're receiving. I'm all for that. When/if my little seedlings survive, will have some to offer too. So far the ones that've popped are: Nannorrhops ritchiana, Nannorrhops arabica (silver),...

Palm pics from my trip to Mexico

Planning protection would like a bit of advice. (Zone 5b/6a)

Found a new trachy today.

My first large palm arrived today.

Is this a Musa Basjoo?

How will a Bismarkia handle a zone 5 winter?
