Great plants you have there Have you any more germinated T. takil from Alexander seeds? I don't have any yet from 30 seeds. Maybe they didn't ripen properly?

Looks like female inflorescence. You need male pollen for successful pollination. Sometimes, but very rare, C. humilis develop hermaphroditic flowers. My C. humilis v. cerifera also looks like female. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/m_bara/Palms%20and%20other%20exotics/P6070025.jpg http://i4...

Definitely this hybrid is on my wish list because I have problem with overwintering pure Y. aloifolia. Tim, keep us updated with your young one.

So -24C is the absolute minimum where death occurs. You likely don't have the duration of cold of other areas. There's hope for us with some winter warming, but maybe not yet. Barb Hi Barb, duration of cold subzero temperatures last winter prolonged for 15 days or cca 360 hours. There is data for l...

Just want to thank you all for the welcome.

Beautiful color

Hi Barb,

no, employes in BG protected them every winter. They cut bananas right down to ground level and heavy mulched around, and above them.

Mostly unprotected. Palms planted in good micro climate gardens in urban area didn't need protection because of urban heat effect. We have sometimes, every 20-30 years very bad winters with minimum down to -24 Celsius (-11,2F), and every 5-10 years to -18-20 Celsius (0F to -4F). Oldest T. fortunei w...

As far as I know, that didn't happen here.

There are represented only one palm species. Cold hardy palms like Sabal minor and needle palm is is pretty rare here. http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9999/zagrebackitrachyju8branfh9.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/4601/griskovicevazimauzogradzz7.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5804/grisk...

I have only one blooming Yucca at the moment, Y. filamentosa/flaccida, so nothing for crossing yet.

There's not much, but I'm working on expanding the list after last winter http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/m_bara/P2250606.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/m_bara/P2250607.jpg two months ago: Y. flaccida/filamentosa (plus 'bright edge' on first picture) http://i400.photobucket.com/...

Color is also closer to Y. rostrata. Will it form trunk in future?

Good job!

Jim, you have a wonderful cactus garden. Did you consider to get some Lavender variety for your garden? Some varieties are hardy for zone 5. They give a Mediterranean touch.

It's similar with burlap but is thinner material.

Thanx Jim! T. wagnerianus is outside from summer 2010. Survived two winters so far, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012. Last one was pretty bad. Temperature dropped down between -18 and -20 Celsius (0F to -4F). Garden is outside of the city at our weekend house, about 30 km east. I don't have an automatic whet...
