I Hope so. Everytime they say it going to warm up it crashes again. 50 yesterday now back into the 20's already. I'll post some pics soon. Just got four more palms yesterday took some pics but now I need to charge the camera to upload.

Will do soon

Macario,

Thanks! I'll be sure to check them out.

Hope your palms make the winter!
Mark

Nice! Wish spring would show its face here. Can't wait for 50 even a 40 would be nice. It might be in the upper 40s here tomorrow. If so I may take some of mine out for day.

Mark

Macario,

Where did you buy your Butia palm? I'm not far from you and have trouble finding nice palms. Any new nursery to check out would be great.

Thanks Mark

PS: How's your other Butia? Lost? Too soon to tell?

Enjoyed the very Nice pics!

Really makes me want to go somewhere tropical as I sit here at -2F this morning.

I water my Queen palms weekly since they dry out quickly in the house upstairs. The rest of my palms which I have downstairs (walkout basement) are watered either weekly or every other week depending on how quickly the soil dries out. My downstairs plants dry out slower since it cooler down there an...

I have not. But those are the coolest I've ever seen.

Awsome!

Mark

Thanks Guys!

I saw some pics of Saw Palmetto seeds since I posted and they are not that. Likely Mediterranean Fan Palm as you say.

You say remove the flesh. You mean the outer shell correct?

Mark

I just came across some plam seed I picked up in Vegas back in 2001. These were from palms growing along the sidewalk of the strip. Maybe Saw Palmetto Palm? Not sure. I want to try to germiante these. Are they too old? I did germinate some seeds years back. I placed them in a shallow pan with soil c...

Totally amazing!! There is hope for zone 5.

Mark

No.

I hate cutting anything a alive.

Thanks Barb!

I like the same look. I will give that a try.

Barb, I meant to ask you.... .you said you just pruned "up" your phoenix. Is that something that should be done regularly? My doesn't really have much of a trunk on it. More bush like. Is that something that encourages them to be more tree like? With a nice trunk. I only cut off the dead o...

OK. Can't resist. How many??

That's too bad. 17 feet could hold a nice size.

Barb, It doesn't much look like an Adonidia in the pic. I have another one and its about 6.5 feet tall. Not as short and compact as this one. It used to have longer fronds but now they grow shorter. ?? I will try the misting with aged water. I usually use it right from the tap. I'll also try to repo...

Barb,

Yeah I drove real slow. Got many looks as well.

No. The last palm is an Andonida- Christmas palm. It's looked a lot better but keeps sending out new spears. Doesn't want to get taller though.

Mark

Cali, That whats I'd like to do. I have many windows facing south. I Have more palms down it the walkout basement too since it gets a lot of light as well. The hard part is hoofing them around on a dolly, especially the 14 footer. Its quite a challenge. Barb, I've thought about covering the entire p...

Thanks guys!

Watering is the difficult part when its at 45* but I make due.

Mark

Thanks Laaz! Yeah don't know what I'm going to do next year. The one leaning on the chair is 3 feet too tall for my 11.5 ceiling height. The other shorter one is right to the ceiling. Love to build a huge very tall sun room someday but for now I'll just do what ever works. Here's a picture of what t...

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I think I have read everything on here and am totally amazed and inspired by all of you. I thouht I was the only palm nut in the world but have discovered that is definitly not the case. I'm not quite as knowlegable as all of you but hope to be soon. Here is a picture o...
