That's really too bad. I was pretty pumped to make the drive from Calgary. :cry: Does every other species imported from the US (which in Calgary, for the big garden outfits, would be almost everything) receive the same kind of scrutiny? I understand the public interest at stake, but.......damn....ho...

Barb, Ooops, wrong element...okay thanks. In Calgary, in my un-heated garage, I bet we've had -20 to -25 (outside winter low was -33 this season-that better be the low...oh no I jinxed us!!!)...so I don't think my potted Trachy would care for much of that. I'm sure this is a great strategy in those ...

Turtile, Thanks for the input, appreciate it...hope I'm not dealing with root rot! John, I actually purchased a small Rostrata and a 3 gallon Needle (Rhap. Hystrix), in the fall, from Botanix (Broadway Gardens) in St. Catherines. Tony was very helpful in filling my order, I'd recommend them to anyon...

Hi Barb, I'll keep you posted and I'll increase the misting. Can't wait to get him out of the hot/dry house! Should I be waiting until we are past frost to put him outside, do you think? Most of the fun, for me, with these plants is pushing them in conditions that others won't sustain. I don't reall...

Hi Barb, Thanks for the tips! Lots of good things to try. I hope it's not the pot! Since I first posted on this topic I've noticed some tiny orange spiders all over the plant. I can see them dangling on their webs if the light is right. I bought some 3 in 1 fungicide/ insecticide/ miticide that I wi...

I would try some fungicide/bactericide. The indoor climate with moist soil favors fungus/bacteria. Your palm looks very healthy so it shouldn't have much trouble recovering if it is being attacked. Sounds good turtile. Are there palm specific fungicides that I should use? Thanks! PS How did you fit...

Thanks so much everybody for the warm welcome and advice! Allen, lately, when I do thoroughly water, the water has been running through awfully fast. Not too close to forced air however, and I do let chlorine evaporate before watering. Pot is raised in dish, so it doesn't sit in water. John, I think...

Help with my Trachy Fortunei
Hi Everyone at Palms North from Calgary! I love the site! Finally decided to join to consult the experts on the state of my Trachy. Here's the story: I brought my Trachy Fortunei home this summer from a nursery in Calgary. Wonderful growth all summer in a partial shade/west facing location. I brough...
